"I want to return to my 2007 self"


- You made it into the OSL RO16
▲ Since both my OSL and MST games are side by side I’m slightly burdened. However ever since I shortened my sleeping time and lengthened my practice time, I’m happy I’m getting better results. I guess I have to head back soon so I can practice for tomorrow’s MST games.

- This is your 13th consecutive appearance in the RO16 OSL
▲ I’ve been thinking about this for a while since prelims and last season. Unfortunately, I have no records unlike other players so I want to make “Most Consecutive Appearance in RO16 OSL” record so I can leave my name in the history books.

- Jangbi failed to get to RO16
▲ I wasn’t at the stadium because I was practicing with my teammates. I couldn’t watch the games but I heard the results. He may have lost today, but I wish him the best next season.

- Swarm Season: Zerg is really strong now
▲ As I started to practice a lot more, I realized rather than Map Imbalance the skill level of an average zerg player increased than the average protoss player. I think protoss players should practice much much harder to deal with this issue.

- How did you practice?
▲ Our team started focusing more on Proleague so practicing for individual leagues became much harder. Fortunately I also had a Zerg game for my proleague match so during my proleague practice I started studying and practicing builds for my OSL games.

- You seem hungry for another title
▲ I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. 2 Months from now, I will be 22 years old and 6 years already passed for me as a Progamer. I do not have much time as I used to so I will play every game as my last. I do wish I can leave a record in the history books, but for now I think it is best if I can do and show my best for my fans.

- Every since Bisu dropped the OSL a lot of people have been looking up to you
▲ It’s been an year since I won first title and I do know my current performance has not been up to expectations. For my team and myself I believe I have to do my best.
To be honest, I wish all the protoss players disqualify, except me. I wish I can win the “The Legend of the Fall” title against an all-zerg OSL.

- You look a lot different
▲ I changed my lifestyle a bit. Instead of a lazy man, I decided to live more like a diligent and hard working man. As important as gaming is, I started to realize a healthy life pattern will also give me better results. Not to mention, the better I take care of myself the more my fans will be pleased, which is why I burned some weight. I wish I can show a much better and improved self until my last days as a progamer.

- You and Jangbi’s performance really affects your team
▲ Last season Jangbi started performing worse as we reached closer to the end, but it wasn’t an issue of skill. I think we started performing worse because we lost the will to win. I think for our team to get higher in the ranking is for me to perform much better. Good news is, my mentality is back and I feel like I returned to my 2007 self.

- Last words
▲ I want to thank everyone who helped me practice. And I would like to tell Jangbi that it wasn’t an issue of skill, rather that you just need to get yourself back together. So don’t feel so bad about today’s elimination and practice harder for next time. Both of us will practice hard and return to the old Jangbi and Stork we were known for.

Yeah Stork! Finally has the motivation to win again!

Anyone else thinks he looks a bit like the pringle man (sans mustache) in that picture?

Also, I'm not sure if "To be honest, I wish all the protoss players disqualify, except me. I wish I can win the “The Legend of the Fall” title against an all-zerg OSL," is him being cocky, or him rising to occasion against the swarm, but its a pretty bold statement either way. This is why I think Stork is one of the most interesting progamers; his interviews are never boring or generic and he actually tells you what he thinks.

I like this answer.

It seems to me that Khan and Woongjin have incredible coaching problems and wasting talent. The teams need a male authority the young guys will respect, someone who can spark and encourage young guys, someone to admire greatly, good training regime, etc.

So Stork's motivated again? Looks like he really wants to leave a legacy before retirement. Glad to hear that.

I wish I can win the “The Legend of the Fall” title against an all-zerg OSL.


When Stork beats Jaedong in the finals, he needs to do a little dance as a fuck you to all the zergs. :p

I translated that last because I just sat there for 10 minutes looking at that statement spacing out lol

But I can assure you it wasn't him being cocky, rather he just dreams of a scenario like this

Seriously. Whenever FBH or Jangbi enter the booth, the two of them look like dead men walking.

He's not dreaming, he's DARING enough to take on his weakest match-up exclusively at the height of swarm season. The man has balls the size of Aiur.

Stork is notorious for not being picky about maps though. The guy won't even say Tears of the Moon is unplayable for protoss... only to proceed to get owned hard in every game he played on it.

Should i explain the obvious? Why do you think all the ice hockey coaches are male? Even if not the head coach, but race specific coaches, anybody, the guys seem lost and disinterested on these teams.

I do admit: KHAN is looking bad right now (and really for the last 6-8 months). Yes, I'm about 80% sure that a lot of it has to do with coaching

But it's too early to hit the panic button: Considering the results January's gotten overall, I wouldn't try to tear apart KHAN's coaches too fast. Whether KHAN gets back to form really depends on how long and how well she adjusts to new RL situations - meaning she's married now. A couple new solid players wouldn't hurt either, but hey.

(As for Woongjin, they've been kind of sucky for a long time, but I have no idea of their coaching situation.)

Khan's non-male head coach is half the reason they pulled off a win against the innumerably hot STX, and put up a ridiculously close fight against CJ. If there's one facet of the Khan team that's pulling through, it's their coach staff for getting them favorable matchups 90% of the time.

I'm sure it's not. Khan used to be powerful, but all the motivation they had back then, they lost it completely, it's obvious. It's nobody else's problem, but coaches'.

So disinterested they won a PL title and got two 2nd place finishes? Indeed, January really sucks as a coach.

I'm not sure about your point. Stork said TOTM was playable right before he played July, only to go for a 3-gate speedlot rush, which was timed so precisely and so extreme he had to kill his own probe to free up psi.

My point is that Stork tends to take things in stride, and not make excuses. But Stork consistently goes for rush style when the maps aren't favorable. And more economy based plays on favorable or balanced maps.

samsung's one of the few teams that actually does their lineups strategically, thanks to good planning. you kidding me? think you're the first to stick your nose up and doubt a woman? it's no coincidence samsung's the got the only female head coach in the industry, and they've been highly successful. read the wall: tough woman. didn't even used to wear makeup.

and i don't even know why you named woongjin. they got a male coach

Stork forever best toss of all time !!!!!.

Bisu fans can argue about this but he is more consitent even if Bisu skill is maybe for like 0.1 better but thats because Stork got lower apm but he compensate with better brain power

So inspiring interview but also sad. Looks like Stork gets older and become a player that doesn't give a shit (like Boxer and others...)
But, if he want to win this OSL by destroying Zergs this is so inspiring to see this OSL
I already imagine an intro with Stork, the Protoss who want to destroy the Swarm

I do admit: KHAN is looking bad right now (and really for the last 6-8 months). Yes, I'm about 80% sure that a lot of it has to do with coaching

But it's too early to hit the panic button: Considering the results January's gotten overall, I wouldn't try to tear apart KHAN's coaches too fast. Whether KHAN gets back to form really depends on how long and how well she adjusts to new RL situations - meaning she's married now. A couple new solid players wouldn't hurt either, but hey.

(As for Woongjin, they've been kind of sucky for a long time, but I have no idea of their coaching situation.)

It's been a bit long. Once a khan player hit the slump, he failed to recover and the whole positive working atmosphere crumbled it seems.

I'm not sure if they should fire January, but they do need help getting the guys out of slump and overall terrible situation, January isn't the only person in Khan organization. They need a couple of guys to kick their ass, who were the young guys themselves and know how to make a right impression.

With Woongjin you can almost feel how the talent starves on this team currently. They would win some games and look great, then would hit rock bottom in both results and performance, that's not a sign of proper discipline.

samsung's one of the few teams that actually does their lineups strategically, thanks to good planning. you kidding me? think you're the first to stick your nose up and doubt a woman? it's no coincidence samsung's the got the only female head coach in the industry, and they've been highly successful. read the wall: tough woman. didn't even used to wear makeup.

and i don't even know why you named woongjin. they got a male coach


Doing lineups strategically and motivating players are two different things. January is undoubtedly very capable on the strategic side of things, but there is a motivation issue here. This has nothing to do with her sex or anything, but often when a team has a coach for a long time players stagnate, and often a solution to this is a change of coaching staff. I know this is common practice in the NHL when teams under perform or slump. Look at how much harder Torts managed to push the Rangers last year during the playoffs.

I think January has done a brilliant job, but after a point even the best coaches can't do anything and to me it looks like Khan has reached that point.

During summer 2008 Lecaf went into a total tailspin and didn't even make the proleague playoffs because they lost so many games at the end of the season. This was the same time that their head coach got married and went on a honeymoon.

I'm fairly sure the current Samsung slump has similar origins and that Samsung will be strong again in the near future.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

▲ Last season Jangbi started performing worse as we reached closer to the end, but it wasn’t an issue of skill. I think we started performing worse because we lost the will to win. I think for our team to get higher in the ranking is for me to perform much better. Good news is, my mentality is back and I feel like I returned to my 2007 self.

It seems to me that Khan and Woongjin have incredible coaching problems and wasting talent. The teams need a male authority the young guys will respect, someone who can spark and encourage young guys, someone to admire greatly, good training regime, etc.


... Why male?

Should i explain the obvious? Why do you think all the ice hockey coaches are male? Even if not the head coach, but race specific coaches, anybody, the guys seem lost and disinterested on these teams.

Just for your info, January is one of the best coaches of all PL, and one of the main reasons why Samsung got from the sucking waiter-uniform team to one of the most feared ones, with all home-breed players that she had the eye to recognize the talent and the leadership to help them develop their talent.

I won't tag your comment as sexist and chauvanistic because it's true that starcraft is a widely male-dominated world, but it doesn't mean a woman can't be a better coach than most of her male colleagues.

Yeah Stork! Finally has the motivation to win again!

Anyone else thinks he looks a bit like the pringle man (sans mustache) in that picture?

Also, I'm not sure if "To be honest, I wish all the protoss players disqualify, except me. I wish I can win the “The Legend of the Fall” title against an all-zerg OSL," is him being cocky, or him rising to occasion against the swarm, but its a pretty bold statement either way. This is why I think Stork is one of the most interesting progamers; his interviews are never boring or generic and he actually tells you what he thinks.

I translated that last because I just sat there for 10 minutes looking at that statement spacing out lol

But I can assure you it wasn't him being cocky, rather he just dreams of a scenario like this


He's not dreaming, he's DARING enough to take on his weakest match-up exclusively at the height of swarm season. The man has balls the size of Aiur.

I like this answer. Take responsibility.

I'm not really a (P)Stork fan, but he seems like such a likeable player. He's a player who I'll always root for unless he's going against one of my favorite players. Just by default. Go Stork!

i am not going to do the Stork vs Bisu thing...
imo stork games are more entertaining, and his PvT are very often crazy wild, he usually does something out of the box. I think for being one of the top players (P, top-2 i think) his games are more interesting (Bisu, Jaedong, etc are always macro macro), so even if a skill gap exists Stork is my favorite Toss

I'll believe him if protoss start putting out some real results, without changing the metagame.. Zergs just have a build that nets wins and is executable from Jaedong down to barely A-team level. Same as when the protoss were rolling zergs with zeal + archon timing attacks.

Everyone has to practice to find a real counter to it.. not to get better at the standard play. How many of the P wins have been squeaked out by DT-drone assassinations? I doubt that's gonna last.

He definitely knows how to interview, definitely a likeable guy (as seen by a poll in some thread, showing him to be the most liked progamer across TL). of course, I'm one of those fans too. Just behind Jangbi for me.

During 2007, Stork got:
-second in an MSL
-third in an OSL
-second in an OSL
-second in WCG Korea
-Went a combined 31-10 across both rounds of proleague, leading KHAN to their first-ever proleague championship

There's a fairly solid case for Stork being overall more impressive in 2007(depends on how much weight you put on proleague results) than he was in 2008, and he was definitely more consistent.

On an unrelated note, thanks for the translation!

5 kilograms..which is about 10 pounds...Fomos wrote a brief article about this..

Stork changed his diet before the season started and exercised a lot to lost 5 kilograms. He also gave up pork dishes that he really likes and eats vegetables mostly.

"My condition and concentration got better after I lost weight. I get up easily in the morning and can concentrate a lot longer. The vegetable eating feels good to my stomach too," he said.
