SearchSpace: 'My unhealthiness often bothers me a lot'
Posted by Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand 7 months ago
Cameron "fams" Carson sat down with Space for a session of questions, discussing his team, his practice regime and his condition.Seung Hyun "Space" Park was unable to advance from the XPLeague Round of 16 after losing to Dong Hwan "ViOlet" Kim in the final group match.
The Undead Mojawi player, who ended in fourth place last season, was unable to repeat the success and will have to settle seeing his team mate Hyo Sub "FoCuS" Eom advance.
Space is suffering with rare inveterate muscle disorder and has been disabled since the age of 11.
In a previous interview Space says he knows there is no cure for him. Doctors has said he may not be able to live over 20 years.
Seung Hyun Park is now 20 years old and is one of the best Undead players in the world.
You made the switch over to Mojawi a little while ago, how is the new team so far?In a previous interview Space says he knows there is no cure for him. Doctors has said he may not be able to live over 20 years.
Seung Hyun Park is now 20 years old and is one of the best Undead players in the world.
- I am glad to play on this team.
You, Shy and FoCuS are once again on the same team, could you imagine playing on a different team with new players, or are you guys more of a family orientated squad?
- I feel comfortable when I am in the same team with GO clan members, I am unwilling to move to another team.
We know your health isn’t very good, but how have you been feeling lately? Is your condition improving at all?
- Recently I have been anxious about that, as my condition is not so good.
What is your practice regime like these days? How long do you practice, do you only practice with Clan Go! members, does your training change before a tournament?
- I practice 4 to 8 hours per day. I don't have specific practice partners and before tournaments I do ladder games for practice.
Do you have any plans to attend another LAN in the future?
- If my health condition allows, I want to do so.
Are you excited for StarCraft 2 to come out?
- Yes I am. I want to enjoy the game.
Have you ever thought about switching to a different game, such as SC?
- I have not thought of that because I have more fun playing WC3 than SC.
I know there are a few other gamers with conditions, similar but not as serious as yours, do you have any words of advice or encouragement for them?
- My unhealthiness often bothers me a lot and sometimes I get upset as a result of it. Take your courage, cheer up and go on.
Any last words for your fans?
- Thanks for my fans always encouraging me and I will do my best to show you games of high quality.

| Short answers for long questions :D |
| Much love for Space. |
| space is imba |
| Space still rules as a undead crown!!!!! |
| Sure his answers are short but it is very nice to see an interview with him. It starts to get 'boring' to read interviews with Moon/Lyn/Grubby/Sky etc ... I have much respect for SpaCe and I wish him the best for the future. |
| cheer for Space !!! |
| What exactly is Space's health condition? Like why is he sick? NVM did a little googling :p Not easy to find thou. |
| "I have more fun playing WC3 than SC." Space <3 <3 <3 Respect all the way. If only he chose BM, I mean Orc he might make his dream of reaching the top. |
| Drooo: he has a very bad muscle disease IIRC, he's in a wheelchair and can barely move his damned hands properly, how he does what he does I don't know. |
Hat to the floor for Space!!!  |
| Lot of respect for Space i'm sure he has more fans then some of the biggest names. |
| Space is nice |
| Space is the one to respect. |
| #14 Space is the most respectful player in the world.4 fingers(or 3)of his hands can't move. How could you say that?! God why not let this shitty guy use wheelchair? Then he can laugh to himself when he look at the mirror nonstop. No offence you r the most shitty guy I've ever met in this web. |
| i think he plays only with one hand |
| Space is a true fighter |
#14:well space is in wheel chair,and he can't even use fully his hands while playing,but i bet that he only needs one finger to kick the ass of a noob such yourself  may be you'll laugh after that.now I'm done answering this jackass,I congratulate space for what he accomplished so far,despite his conditions!!  |
| i've played space in ladder and i had no idea. thats insane talent, i can only imagine if he was 100% what he would be capable of. Take care! |
| @21 SpaCe didn't play seriously against you, he just eats Canadian for breakfast =D j/k ^^ |
| he can't ctrl + # for group key =/ it was in the interview few years ago on korean news site |
| 18 he definately use 2 hands but i don't think he can move his pinkies, or left wrist |
| Space has to have our respect guyz ... |
| #23 if i remember correctly he can group up to number 4 anyway space is a real fighter i rly hope he doesnt give up respect man |
| Space is awesome.. The player i respect the most gl in future =) |
| Imagine if Space didn't have these conditions..! He would own everyone :) And what did #14 write? |
| vlovo keep such opinions to your self |
| Gogo Space! Pwn them all! |
| <3 Space, gl man!! |
| always my fav und :) all the best Space |
| #26, no his condition doesnt allow him to ctrl group anything, which is already a testament to his skill alone. |
| Great guy - one of the few Ud left. |
| I'm glad you all still support Space :) I am also glad you all enjoyed the interview despite the length of it. It was an honor to be able to interview Space, finally. |
| Awesome player, definitely makes me wonder if the ones actually disabled are all of us healthy people. Completely inspiring. |
| space...much love dude...inspiring to see u doing what u love (gaming) even with ur disabilities...that takes fucking guts dude...gl in the future and hope ur condition improves.. SPACE FIGHTING ~<3 |
| Space is such a great player! I usually watch all of his replays. |
| @29 With "if" we can remake the world |
| all the best for space! |
| im pretty sure that he's able to use groups...its simply impossible to be a pro wc3 player without using groups...but anyway, what he does is insane in consideration of his health. |
| He cannot use Ctrl groups. Proof: http://www.mymym.com/en/news/11677.html In the paragraph after the picture of him in his striped shirt. A Korean Shoutcaster explains he cannot bind his ctrl groups. |
| space you are my hero honestly |
| he can use ctrl grouping, but only ctrl + 1~4... i wish his health will not get worse to play wc3... :) |
| All the best for Space! |
| pretty sure they translated wrong #45 cuz i saw vod interview of him while back where he was able to use 1~0 in the past but can now only ues 1~4. probably situation got worse cuz i belive i saw that vod around 1.5 yrs back |
| #49 Ill ask him to make sure and post back here when I find out :) |
