Stork...
I always wondered why stork used his ID as stork. He wanted to be called as a bird? The bringer of... babies?? Symbolism of childbirth? But that's only in western culture... It sounds decently nice if pronounced correctly, but it sounds more like "su tok" if pronounced in korean way...

When I found out that he had a twitter (twitter.com/koreasbg), I just had to ask him what stork meant. Here's his response:

Translation: The reason why I use the ID stork is because when I was a student, I stumbled upon the word "stork" while doing homework. On battle.net, I noticed that it was available, so that's why I started using it.

Mystery solved. I guess he just liked the way it spelled or sounded. Makes sense...

I hope you found this informative/interesting/useful!
The end.

Oh yea, I know there is a thread about progamers and their ID, but I felt too lazy to find it and post it there.

I actually think Stork is a pretty cool nick, especially when you relate it to "bringer of babies".

Stork probably already brought into the world a lot of babies that won't know who their progamer father is.
