He seriously simply tells you whatever he thinks during the interview. No boring crap like "I will practice even harder to win more." "It's all thanks to my teammates" "If I push harder, I can win more", rather he tells you "I think that Chinese food is bad for my diet".
Love his last words as well. So supportive! I seriously hope that he can return back to the S-level player that he is and carry Khan once more to victory.
STORK FOR LEGEND OF FALL! DOUBLE CROWN!
P.S. I think that Stork is taking his dieting a bit too far... why do you think its a good thing to be self degrading...
It's not that it is a good thing. But rather, a moderate dose of it keeps a player from slumping. While facing against a lesser player, the player won't be cocky about his own skill but rather put 100% into defeating his opponent. After winning a championship, the player won't think of himself as on top of the world and stop practicing. I think this factor played a part in Stork's overall consistency.
Thanks for the translation.

Translation lost some details due to going from Korean to Chinese to English I guess, here's some tweaks and additions

▲Since Bisu and I played each other in the finals last year, we were seeded for this year's tournament. When I saw the map pool for this tournament, I was a bit surprised. I worried that I might have to play Effort, and was preparing myself after he beat Bisu. But Effort got eliminated early which let me win the tournament. Still, I was a little disappointed because I've been doing pretty well lately, and I wanted to evaluate my skill against other Korean players in some unofficial matches.
-You can participate IEF again next year.
▲I heard that IEF will be in China next year and same with WCG this year, the winner of IEF will also have to go to China, this will be 2 years straight going to China. I am very concerned about H1N1 so I am not feeling comfortable leaving the country and plus I am dieting too, China have too much greasy food so it might affect my diet. Also, I would enjoy the music performances if the tournament was in Korea, but not so much in China. So a trip to China isn't all good (laughs).

My question is how did he manage to get this thin in such a short period of time? What is he eating? Or not eating?
I am sure that July is interested in the answer.

Just wondering, how do Chinese fans feel about his pretty blatant China bashing?
He pretty much says Chinese bands suck, and he doesn't like the food -_-
|
Thx Waxangel!
I am sure that the Chinese would forgive Stork. He doesn't deserve anti-fans.
Then again...even Boxer had anti-fans...
|
Thanks for the translation.
I see I'm not the first to make this comment, but someone should tell Stork to get off his stupid diet already. He's starting to look anorexic.
|
thanks for the translation! i've been waiting the translated one.
hope Stork will do well in the individual league too.

Actually no, Stork is a modest boy, I will hand it to you. But that doesn't make him any more consistent. He lost quite a lot of games last proleague, enough to be considered inconsistent. He didn't make anywhere near MSL or OSL final either. But he was always self-degrading, in every single interview. So I don't really think your logic works.

Stork's going to be the next Silent Control.

He seemed a little hard on foreigners. Maybe its just the way I read it, but he seemed almost shocked that a foreigner beat a korean. Everyone was, not just Stork.
I'd be shocked too if i was practicing 12 hours a day in a professional environment , and losing to some foreigner who played half as much, or maybe even a quarter
Nice play from stork! but he looks so skinny now, lol he needs to go to China and eat that greasy food! xD

The fainting on the stage part, I am assuming? >.>
I hope that Stork is operating on the advise of a dietitian, not his girlfriend's.

Maybe he's been working out.
Everyone needs to calm down. -___-

For the sake of qualifying into the "Nada's Body" thread, I assume? ^^
I need to see the six pack first.

If becoming leaner means consistently winning. I support his decision to slim down.

Stork: the coolest protoss in SC, and perhaps the chillest and coolest SC pro-gamer ever.
