HelpingHans vs. VonIvan Bo7 G3 Health Issue.

A family member of mine has had chronic migraines every 3 weeks for about 5 years straight, I'm not a migraine expert but I do know that increased stress levels catalyse the (upcoming) migraine. If you see how wound up he was after losing game 2 it's no wonder that things turned from bad to worse. Also, temporary loss of eyesight (as hilarious as it was to poke a bit of fun at), blurriness and everything he described is text book migraine. Migraines usually start with having "spots" on your eyesight and that graduallly turns worse as the headache sets in. Limbs feeling tingely, more spottiness on your retinas and eventually a bursting headache is what migraine does to you.
Best you can do is just sleep it off or get some meds.

It sucks for everybody involved but shit happens. Props to Von for taking it like a champ.

You cannot watch the replay and tell me Hans was fine after game 2. I'm not claiming it was an act, I think it was a genuine panic-attack (my personal opinion).

We could speculate all day long. Perhaps It was minor migraine attack mixed with a panic attack? Could it be a panic attack with mixed minor vertigo? bla bla bla... In the end, It was clear that he was in no condition to compete. Also, his condition began way (Agreed, right after his loss that rocked him)before he got lock down to his base(Which is when he decided he had to call it)(Can't win this one, I quit). His left eye condition made him back to his base in the first place.

If you want to say something like: in every competitive 'thing' you have to fight with opponents and yourself and It's up to you to be fit. That is BS in this case. This is a sponsored event by viewers! There are no commercial breaks(Correct; Only Time-Outs). There are no sellout moments. Most importantly, there are only handful of people who play this game at very high level.

People only want these players to play against each other as competitive as it gets(Nothing says high tier competition like a do-over) (with crowdfunding money) and If any of them having health issues, I would expect the game to be delayed. Especially in an online environment.

I think this example of Von agreeing on a rematch and seeming genuinly concerned for Hans' well-being after the match is a great example of the high level of sportmanship and camaraderie in this game.

Whilst most fans certainly seem to support this, it is really kind of a shame that a few people try to taint this by mocking and casting doubt about the severity of the ailment (this was especially bad in the Twitch chat).

Hans' was clearly distraught and frustrated, not only for loosing but also for letting down the viewers. Von was clearly concerned about Hans and accepted the rematch without any objections whatsoever (almost to an extent that I think he would have insisted on it even if Hans hadn't asked for it).

For all the rest of us we should really just leave it at that.

My ex girlfriend used to have migraines, severe ones too. They could come as a totall surprise, she sometimes felt them coming up for days and sometimes they occured after a stressful situation. When she had really bad ones she could even lose function of one of her arms.

I don't think people understand how seriously scary and dangerous migraines can be. Cut the conspiracy bullshit out..

Get better soon James!
