GuardiaN to skip DreamHack Malmö

7-4-2016 23:38

Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács will skip both DreamHack Masters Malmö and PGL's HTC 1v1 Invitational as his condition has gotten worse. Sergey "starix" Ischuk will fill in for him in Sweden, Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko announced via Twitter.

After pondering over skipping DreamHack Masters Malmö several days ago due to his wrist injury, Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács decided not to practice until the event rolled around.

However, it seems that his condition has gotten worse over the last 72 hours, as he will miss the event after all. Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko has announced via Twitter that it will be the team's coach, Sergey "⁠starix⁠" Ischuk, filling the sniper's shoes in Malmö.

OK GUYS, HERE IT IS. @guardiancsgo will miss both DreamHack Malmo and PGL 1v1. His hand got worse:(

Starix will stand-in for GuardiaN at DH Malmo.
— Даниил Тесленко (@navizeus4444) April 7, 2016

The news about Natus Vincere having to attend the Swedish event with a stand-in comes less than five days prior to the event, as it starts next week, on Tuesday, April 12th.

Natus Vincere will attend DreamHack Masters Malmö with the following five:

Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko
Ioann "⁠Edward⁠" Sukhariev
Denis "⁠seized⁠" Kostin
Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev
Sergey "⁠starix⁠" Ischuk

hm :/ serious wrist infection .. :D

2016-04-07 23:53

Statix Ez Pz

could be carpal tunnel syndrom... if anyone experiences pain in his wrist, besides from visiting your doctor you should also strenghten your arms and warming up your hands before every game. dont underestimate this boys. here is a useful video that helped me when i had wrist problems: youtube.com/watch?v=uPO-zST-7EE

2016-04-07 23:56

I agree with you,I had similar problem and fixed it however when you have it,you can barely hold the mouse.

2016-04-08 00:05

i got rid of it by stretching and a 24 hour break of cs.. the problem is that it comes superslow, first its just a small pain and what is a casual cs addict like me doing? ;> exactly, im ignoring it, keep playing and making it worse on the second day, it all adds up. the body needs rest-time, people underestimate esports, but you can also get wrist problems if you only have an office-job... i just want everyone to know that its NEVER a good idea to ignore pain. rest ! and if it does not get better, definitely go and see your doc.

Ive solved it with good mousepad lol I know its quite of silly but I was actually playing without mousepad for more then 10 years and never liked them,but wasting more then 8 hours a day(it was summer so it was like 15+ on pc isnt really best idea on wooden table,so ive brought mousepad and now I cant imagine to play without it)

2016-04-08 00:29

Has nothing to do with it, at all. Carpal tunnel is caused by repeated motions over long periods of time. In fact, for gamers, the keyboard hand is more often the one with the problems, because you generally do the same motions with your fingers, without moving the hand much at all. With the mouse, at least you move around more. Can easily be avoided by just stretching out your hands every few minutes. Especially easy in CS, just shake out your hands and stretch a bit between rounds, that's all it takes.

2016-04-08 11:46

starix such a bot seriously, :( they will lose i guess

2016-04-07 23:59

Thats why he went to coaching and it he did it for the better of Na'Vi, im sure he still has plenty of skill. Not like he has been retired/coaching for years.

youtube.com/watch?v=juqcPfdzBN4

2016-04-08 07:47

sad news why not turn on the classic navi mode +markeloff +ceh9

2016-04-08 00:00

You want this na'vi to become like their dota squad or what? Marik has been irrelevant since early 2014 Ceh9 was trash in CSGO Starix retired because he held his team back,that should tell you something An occasional showmatch with this lineup should be fine,but going back to this lineup as a pro team is just plain dumb

2016-04-08 07:32

man

2016-04-08 00:02

Give respect to starix, obviously will be a negative for Na'Vi but the man is a legend!

2016-04-08 00:04

pick markeloff and ceh9 Kappa

ceh9 is dmg nowadays lmao

2016-04-08 00:31

just for fun, oldschool ;(

2016-04-08 01:04

better get his wrist feel better than get it injured even worse

2016-04-08 00:06

they can still win, guardian didnt play that well and they got to MLG finals.

It's way better to take a break and focus 100% on the injury than keep playing and forcing it, which could get worse.

Let's Go Starix!

I feel bad for guardian, but its for the best that he stays recovering instead of forcing it, get well soon! In other hand, starix was the obvious choice, and I hope he performs well, the guy is a legend. Good luck na'vi

Neither, that's why I'm asking.
