 Luxury: "I want to try winning the WCG twice."
"This is just the beginning, I have to do well from now on."
- You won 2:0 easily to get into the Round of 8.
▲ This is just the beginning. It is still just the Round of 8 and I am not guaranteed a spot in becoming a national representative, so I have to do well from now on.
- You went gas-first in both your games.
▲ The recent trend in ZvZ was going 1 hatch zergling speed and taking down their opponents with mass lings. But my build was strong against that. As long as I did not mess up my micro, I would be able to play at an advantage. I prepared this build after watching Calm defeat Jaedong.
- In the Round of 8, you will be facing either YellOw[ArnC] or  JangBi.
▲ I hope YellOw[ArnC] advances (laugh). With his OSL finals just a few days away, if he happens to win, then he needs to lose as well.
- You are the WCG 2008 gold medalist. Are you aiming for another gold medal?
▲ Of course. Stork failed to win two gold medals the last time, so this time, I want to have a shot at it.
- How are you spending your days recently?
▲ I am preparing hard for the STX Masters cup, but I was not even sent out so I am a bit sad. But our team members are doing well, so I am not disappointed at all. Other than that, I am just practicing hard for the WCG and the next Proleague season.
- Any final words?
▲ I am grateful to my manager for letting me practice for WCG yesterday, as well as other Zerg players who helped me with practice.
Stork: "Look forward to me in the next season."
"My results turned out well so I'm relieved."
- You won 2:0 easily to advance into the Round of 8.
▲ I didn't really practice but my results turned out well so I'm relieved. Content-wise, I am pleased too.
- Why didn't you practice?
▲ It's hard to concentrate because of the Free Agent contract issue, and taking up time with intra-team ranking competition made practicing very difficult. So I just went for image training.
- You will be facing the winner of Kal vs  fantasy in the Round of 8.
▲ I would prefer to face Kal. One of the maps included is Return of the King, which is hard to play on against a Terran opponent. That is why I don't want to play against a Terran. But on the other hand, I worked on my PvP a lot during the intra-team ranking competition, so I expect the results to turn out well.
- You were not able to win your second gold medal last year.
▲ It is important to create opportunities, but my target for now is to become one of the nation representatives. After that, it is to get into the Grand Finals without meeting any Korean opponent. For two years straight, I have been facing Korean players half-way, so I was quite sad.
- How are you spending your days now?
▲ This is the first time the FA is being implemented, which led me to think too much about it initially. I thought hard about the contracts, and I even picked up a few hobbies as I took part in my intra-team ranking competition. I watched around 130 episodes of an anime, and I still watch it from time to time. I especially enjoy watching One Piece. I watched from episode 1 all the way to episode 180 or so. My target is to watch the whole series, but I am getting worried. There are too many episodes so it's tiring (laugh).
- Any final words?
▲ I realised that I should work very hard recently, and I will prepare hard for the next Proleague season and individual leagues. I hope the new season starts soon, and please look forward to me in the next season.

I don't understand this response. Because Stork failed last time he wants to have a shot at it ? Doesn't make sense

As in, Stork failed to win two gold medals, so this time Luxury will try to aim to get two gold medals.

Oh right, I forgot Stork actually won WCG before.
It seems Stork has his head back in the game, good to hear.

This was...unexpected. I like Stork a little more. OP's already around 400s for anime.

God Luxury, where did that burst of life come from? You shoulda done better in the pl you slumping bastard T_T. Kudos on the win though.
I still can't believe how badly UpMaGiC lost the first game... I really thought he had it when he started to expand so quickly but then he completely threw it away with that shitty siege timing..

oh snap he watches anime we should be practice partners stork *wink*

Yeah I got mad respect for him now

Stork is so human, I love the man
|
Stork watches One Piece? Must be good or.. something... 
|
- You will be facing the winner of (P)Kal vs (T)fantasy in the Round of 8.
▲ I would prefer to face Kal. One of the maps included is Return of the King, which is hard to play on against a Terran opponent. That is why I don't want to play against a Terran.
I admire Stork's frankness. He is truly my favourite Protoss

Stork talking about free agent policy ... I wonder if he wants to get picked up by another team? There are plenty of teams without a really good Protoss.
|
LOL while Jaedong is getting tired from practice, Stork is getting tired from otakuing out. No wonder he hasn't won a second gold yet. Also, Stork is worried about free agency so he must be considering a move!
|
Wait.. this is weird.
In TLPD, Luxury has the third place of WCG 2008.
Is TLPD wrong?

Haha, I dunno how frank that is. Fantasy is just flat-out better than Kal in addition to the map and I'm sure the OSL loss to Fantasy is still in his mind.

I think what he means is that he admires the fact that Stork said the person who would be easier to beat, and not the person who would probably produce the better games/lose to.
|
hope these guys push thru

stork forgot to mention wow

I didn't read the full interview and saw Avidkeystamper's post not in quotes so I thought "lol that's a funny fixed quote, like a progamer would say that." -_-
Though really he should read the manga since all long animes tend to suffer from filler.
Maybe Starcraft is just a hobby for Stork.
|
I'm sure Stork cares about the FA mainly to get the most money, rather than wishing to switch teams. The process makes it so that the initial offer pretty much sets the tone.
Man, how bad does Upmagic feel knowing Stork would rather watch One Piece than practice for him? I kind of figured Stork didn't bother with the series, considering he 12 Nexed both games. Who needs practice when you can 12 Nex?
