The british terran player DeMusliM broke his hand and elbow after getting into a small "skirmish" while he was out drinking with fellow player Rotterdam.Quotes by Rotterdam: [...] pretty much right on, thats pretty much what happened, I was in the hospital this morning and most likely he can leave at monday, he wont go assembly most likely but IEM global finals should be np, but assembly is to early, I will perhaps upload a picture later when I got my camera here of how his elbow looked that night we got home, its pretty sick :D



They were out drinking on monday and got into some trouble with a couple of people. Not much happened there but Demuslim fell down and broke hand and elbow - which he didn't notice until later, though, they went drinking first. When coming home he apparently needed help from Rotterdam, they noticed his arm/elbow was swollen badly and they got him into a hospital asap. He was x-rayd and operated and will stay in the hospital for another couple of days.



As said in the quote he probably won't make it for the Winter Assembly 2011 in Helsinki, but IEM finals should be OK according to Rotterdam. He may have to be replaced in the ESL Pro Series, but I don't know too much about that league.

Hey guys,



Just to sum things up 1 more time, He did not get beat up, ( He has absolutely 0 marks in his face or whatsoever... some people seem to assume this ), the guy he had an arguement with is 100% sure not even aware of what happened to his elbow/hand, ben just got very unlucky by falling and landing very unfortunate, he was _DEFINATELY_ not to drunk to stand up, honestly how can people even write that stuff without being there? If he was I would just admit it but its absolute rubbish -_-, he was far from that, sure we had a few drinks but not even close to the level where you can't get up from the street, its honestly quite bad to just throw stuff like that out there without knowing the facts.



All in all this is just a fucked up situation cause this entire affair wouldnt have been a story at all if he wouldnt have got so unlucky to land on his elbow, now It looks like some kind of massacre took place while it was absolutely nothing like that.



In the end of the day its only sad for 1 person and thats demuslim himself, he was in absolute monstershape, taking rank 1 in Europe and over the last few days having like 85%+ win ration vs the best players in ladder, which was kinda insane and he seeemed very ready for assembly, unfortunately thats gonna be a tough story but as I said, EPS and IEM should be all fine.



He will get out of the hospital on monday most likely, but was already able to move his arm and hand quite a bit this morning, with a bit of luck hes playing within 12/13 days, he had surgery a few hours after the incident took place and has been recovring ever since, I'll pay him another visit tomorrow morning before I go to work to send him all the best wishes many people did and hopefully bring some positiv news to this forum as well Hey guys,Just to sum things up 1 more time, He did not get beat up, ( He has absolutely 0 marks in his face or whatsoever... some people seem to assume this ), the guy he had an arguement with is 100% sure not even aware of what happened to his elbow/hand, ben just got very unlucky by falling and landing very unfortunate, he was _DEFINATELY_ not to drunk to stand up, honestly how can people even write that stuff without being there?

Hello everyone, please excuse the user name, its part of my business. My name is Reg Baker, and i am Bens (DeMuslims) father. Should you wish to verify, my e-mail address is [MOD EDIT]

Having read some of these comments i feel compelled to clear the air. Firstly, Ben,Rotty, and Jo were enjoying a drink Monday evening and unfortunately were verbally abused by a group of people.

Although they sensibly moved away to avoid confrontation, the abusers persued and got physical.

Whereupon Ben, was forced to defend himself and punched assailant unfortunately injuring knuckles

in the process. During following "skirmish/fight" Ben had bad fall on his elbow, before dispatching opponent. Clearly the main thing now, is his speedy recovery, thankyou to everyone who expressed

their well wishes. To the likes of MJLowell i really have nothing to say.
