A scar, half an inch wide, stretched from just above the elbow and up over his shoulder.

"Our company paid for full medical expenses, so he had an operation," explained his coach, Kang Doh Kyung.

"[He] is the best player in StarCraft and has won everything in this field and is still going strong."

Repetitive strain had injured Mr Lee's muscles, deforming them and making surgery the only option to save his illustrious career.

I played StarCraft for a short while, but it seemed like so much work compared with Tiberian Sun: why do I need to micromanage everything? Micromanagement is for turn-based games like SMAC.

RTS quickly bored me in the 90's due to how it revolves around hitting hotkeys rapidly for upwards of an hour straight... not my idea of fun.

Maybe if he didn't use some shitty sponsor-provided "gaming gear" he wouldn't have ended up in a state needing surgery.
