 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?
|
stork has time to watch anime? interesting. i thought he was "busy" with all this other stuff going on.
and i like how he implies that foreigners suck. i hope that the foreigners beat him (unlikely)
|
Stork interview is too good.
I didnt know that he was an anime maniac =D !

TLPD only records WCG Korea. Luxury got third place there and then won the Grand Finals.

Oh I see.
So 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place gets to go to WCG Grand Finals to fight for the worldwide gold?

TLPD is only counting WCG Korea 2008 (Which Jaedong won, Stork took 2nd and Luxury took 3rd). Luxury did win WCG 2008 (The global one).
Edit: Left the reply window open too long =(

"I prepared this build after watching (Z)Calm defeat (Z)Jaedong."
Man ZvZ has gone so far lately with so many great contenders out there: Jaedong, calm, effort, kwanro, zero, yarnc etc. Seems like just yesterday that Protosses were kicking the shit out of everyone and everyone was crying about map imbalances but these guys are turning zvz into an art. The build orders and counters are getting so precise @.@

Someone needs to direct Stork to our anime thread.
|
Its off season and stork has no real games that he needs to play so he can watch all the one piece he wants. =)
|
this year WCG will not be won by stork or luxury
will be someone from china

haha go Stork.

Ha ha...Stork is like the EveryMan of professional Starcraft...:7
Jaedong *hunched over a computer, with deep dark circles under his eyes*: Man, the last few weeks have been terrible. First the Proleague Finals, then two Semifinals...and now with the OSL Finals in a few days, I've been having to practice Z v Z nonstop for like a week now. Plus, my parents are making me leave OZ, so I'm about to have to pick up and move to whatever team bids the most money on me, leaving all my friends behind...I'm so stressed out!
Stork *drinking a milkshake, watching television*: Oh, yeah...uh, I've been really stressed out lately, too.
Jaedong: Really? I saw you crush UpMagic in WCG last night; have you been practicing a lot for that?
Stork: Uh...no, actually I didn't practice for those at all. UpMagic just sucks.
Jaedong: Oh yeah, that makes sense. You're probably all stressed out about the whole Free Agent thing, then.
Stork: Well...I was a little worried about that at first; but Samsung's given me a nice cushy salary... so I'm down with that. *puts on a pair of solid gold sunglasses*
Jaedong: Then, uh, what are you stressed out about?
Stork: Um...well, I've been getting into Anime a lot lately, and there's this neat series called One Piece that I've been watching. And, well, I really want to finish the series before the regular season starts...but there're like four-hundred episodes. I've been watching, like, 10 a day for the last couple of weeks-- and I've still got like 200 left. It's seriously starting to stress me out.
Jaedong: ....
Stork: Oh, sorry, gotta go; my girlfriend's calling me. Catch you later, man!
Jaedong: *weeps softly while microing his mutalisks*
