I think Stork is just being honest about his practice routine.

How many players out there actually practice like a whore 24/7?

I know there are couple out there like CuteAngel and Canata, who never make it anywhere, and there is probably Flash and Jaedong as well...

I dunno, I think Stork is just not very motivated in general right now. Unlike Jaedong, Stork realizes that his team isn't very good, isn't trying to hide it and instead try to focus on what he CAN get, like the individual league. Jaedong is trying pretty hard to cover both bases, despite having a tougher job than Stork.

I remember one of the things that Stork was envious about the other three members of the Bisu/Jaedong/Flash/Stork group was their salary...umm...how much is Stork getting paid really? He almost switched team in fact.

Every progamer practices for 10 hours, that's the standard practice regime on every team. It's just this is the prelims, so a player as good as stork could breeze his way through without trying, especially cause he had an easy group and 2 terrans to face. Once you get to the Ro32 and Ro16 there isn't a single player that won't practice relentlessly for their match

He's quite confident, and he makes a lot of jokes that are in bad taste, but he's definitely not a racist. I hope your impression of him isn't formed entirely from amateur translations of casual interviews.

Jangbi: Byung Goo-hyung, teach me how to beat Jaedong. Teach me PvZ!
Stork looks up from his iPhone

Stork: Sure bibi. You have to put the wall in front of the peashooters to stop Z from breaking into your base.

Jangbi: Cannons right? I know this already.

Stork: Remember, you need to collect as much resources as possible! Don't skimp on that apm. Click as many suns as possible. Try to go econ style if you scout late enemies. Make more sunflowers!

Jangbi: Sunflowers?

Stork: Mines are also good against Z, although they aren't always used.

Jangbi: I don't play Terran...
Stork does not appear to be listening

Stork: Remember, they have to get through your wall before they break into your base, so keep building more blockages!

Jangbi: Hyung, what exactly are you talking about?

Stork: PvZ duh. Now excuse me, I've gotta finish this game right up.
Stork turns back to his iPhone

Over our hero Byung Goo's shoulder, Jangbi asks

"What's that game?"

Stork: Plants vs Zombies

Stork is amazing. He became my favourite player because of his play style before I knew anything about him, but the more I learn the more I like. He drinks, he plays other video games, and he has the lowest APM of any contender.

Why should he practice? He's been around since 2006, pretty sure he knows an opening or two by now.

He's been around since 2004 (took a game off Savior that year!). He was even in a couple OSL Ro16s in 2005. He owns the record for the most OSL Ro16 appearances. And if he wins either the OSL or MSL, he'll be the oldest player ever to do so. He is forever awesome; he is Stork.

Perfectman:
Q: Are you confident for tomorrow's OSL prelims?
A: I'm going to go home to practice soon. If my confidence is good, my practice will be good, and I'm feeling pretty solid right now

Confidence = awesome ceremonies?

interesting that teams don't let the players view the group selection ceremonies, you'd think seeing them would be motivation to get to them in the future
