Go)Space in the newspaper today

Chosun Ilbo, which is one of the major newspapers in South Korea, report about Go)Space today.

I thought he has been paralyzed on the lower half of the body by accident. but according to the newspaper, he is struggling with disease called muscular dystrophy.
this serious and incurable disease makes people lose muscle tissue gradually and die eventually because of heart or respiratory failure.

he can only move some fingers and neck now. but before long, he may not even be able to use that anymore.
it seems like there is no much time left for him as a professional gamer.

way to go Space!

seeing the picture of him smiling like a normal 17 year old kid is insane; if i had only the half of his mindset i would be very happy!
I wish him and his family only the best!!

read it in english here:http://www.mymym.com/en/news/11677.html
I nearly broke into tears when I read these words:

“Other moms say that they are worried about their children getting addicted to computer games. But I’m worried about his fingers getting paralyzed and being unable to play. Doctors have already said that Seung Hyun may not be able to live over 20 years old” his mother says.

“I know there is no cure for me and I do not believe in miracles. I just want to play this game for fun by doing my best and become an undefeatable player and a strong son for my mom”

Two years ago, the only parts of his body he could move were his neck and fingers. Afreeca Warcraft League (AWL) caster, Jung Jin Ho admires Space’s willpower as he is a very perseverant player given that he is even unable to bind units by pressing Ctrl + # at his will.

Wow he looks so skinny. He should not be pitied, he should be applauded on his courage and determination. Best wishes! Ever heard of Stephen Hawking?

IMO if there is one player in the whole world that deserves cheers and support at any given time, it's him. Salutes.

Beating Lyn 2-1 in AWL as UD is already something no one else can do.

I read this on MYM this morning. It totally changed my day. This is so sad, and I really just hope that Space succeeds. Either way, he made me proud, and I'm sure his mother is just fine with what he has already accomplished. He will forever, change my life, with an undying attitude for his body that wants otherwise. Space truly defies all laws set by god. Space, is a fighter, a winner, a champion.

Think its amazing what willpower can do for a human being. I hope he will become the warcraft master before he will sadly pass away. The best thing would offcourse be if there by any chance would be a cure before he would pass away

It's unfortunate that he's born with a disease that cripples the only physical requirement for gaming. But it clearly hasn't hindered him.

I really dont think people should say, suchs things like bad luck and what so ever, a person in that situation does rarely need to hear such things, I am speaking out of own experience, and i think a pat on the back is the best thing you could do for a person with these kinds of troubels. so Fuck yea space! kick AWL to the curbe, my cheers is at you!
