I don't know if this is true but this is what I read from a Chinese sc forum, that in his post-osl interview he said his recent slump was due to personal matters. That and this:

As you may know he used to wear a ring but apparently not any more. So did he break up with his very hot gf which caused his recent small yet very noticeable slump?

Losing a few games in a span of 2-3 days is not considered a slump.

His game vs Flash the other night in the OSL is more than enough to prove that.

I don't understand how you can call that a slump... Having two bad days in a row after several great days. And he came back strong vs Flash and showed us how to play PvT... There is no slump...

That's why I put it in quotation marks. I guess I should call it a losing streak.

I can't really say he's in that much of a slump anymore He beat flash in the osl.I know it doesn't mean too much also since flash isn't the best at tvp he lost to sea but having beaten flash means he's probably doing better than then. And also just the thought of beating the best player ATM...

Flash vs Stork in the OSL. Go watch it, and then tell me he's slumping again.

And quite frankly, his personal life is none of our business and nothing I'm interested in.

Not slump, but if he broke up with his girlfriend that's a tad sad, despite it technically not being our business.

Call it whatever you want but something weird happened in that period. Losing 2 PvTs against above average terrans then the very next game, beating the best terran in the game.Crushing Kal and Horang2 with dominating fashion then losing a pvp against movie who has rumored horrible pvp. No cheese involved.

I'm just glad he's over it.

Stork has been one of the top, and most consistent people this season. 4 loses in 2 consecutive days does not justify a slump
It may LOOK imbalanced but its not because blizard hates protoss.

I think the point of this blog post was more about Stork's relationship with his gf and less about the mini-slump.

That said, his gf probably saw this thread and opted to get out of the way of Stork's thousands of aspiring gay lovers.

If any of the S class players lose two or more games in a row they are automatically in a slump obviously.

Unless it's Jaedong, in which case he only needs to lose one game, or win a game but just barely.
May the BeSt man win.

since everyone in this thread decided to be dyslexic posters I will add this to the thingy dingy




At first everyone thought Stork lost his couple ring (AGAIN) or decided to take his ring off so he can concentrate on the games more

However recent evidence show that:

A) His girlfriend's comments are all gone from Stork's Cyworld (I cannot cite this)
B) Stork is gaining some weight back

It is yet unknown whether or not he broke up with his girlfriend, but it's leaning 7:3 towards "He Broke Up With Her" in the Korean Community

Although I'm incredibly gay for Stork, I hope for his sake that 1) him and his gf didn't break up 2) even if they did or are going to, it won't affect Stork's destiny towards his second OSL title.

But Stork I'm sorry I didn't include you in my FPL R2 team~

OH SHI-- NOOOO! Stork!!

I bet that crappy girl cheated on him. Going out late to those korean night clubs and getting dirty. That's probably why Stork got all self conscious about trying to look good and went nuts dieting. Poor bastard. I know your pain Stork!! Buck up! Chicks like her are a dime a dozen! Especially in the land of plastic fantastic!

Stork needs to quit worrying about females, they are not real people and they do not deserve any of his attention.
