Q: Your thoughts on dominating IEF again? A: I got lucky (haha). This time, I didn't expect to win the championship. I lost the first game as Stork played too well, so I thought I would lose the series. Getting a championship a year after my last one makes me very happy. The fact that I earned it in China makes me even happier.
Q: In IEF, you always display huge power. A: I always do well in MBCgame competitions (haha).
Q: Did you know that you have a lot of female fans in China? [T/N LOL question] A: Seems like there are some (haha). Getting support even in China makes me glad. They even followed me back to my hotel to cheer me on. I'm thankful, but sadly I can't convey that with words. Having that kind of language disconnect is annoying. Whenever I come to China, I always feel like some major celebrity (haha). It always makes me proud. I'm truly joyful about it.
Q: You lost game 1. A: In game 1, I thought my reaver had killed off a lot of Stork's workers, so I assumed I had a great advantage. But who would have guessed that Stork had produced a vast quantity of workers to begin with? Additionally, when we had skirmishes, I didn't control my reaver well, and I ended up losing it.
Q: In game 3, you used storms effectively. A: Blue Storm brings back memories (haha). Before, I had played a lot of interesting games on Blue Storm. Stork prepared to use speed Shuttles [T/N increased velocity defeat transporter machines... I hope it means speed Shuttles], but I noticed that early, so I was able to take preventative measures. I thereby managed to get an advantage. Today, my own shuttle harass seemed to be good as well.
Q: On Blue Storm, Stork GG'd while attacking one of your mineral expansions. A: My Shuttle speed hadn't finished yet, but I had been steadily building up forces, so I was able to block his attack. The OB didn't catch it, but while Stork was preparing to attack me, I was harassing his 2nd expansion, so he couldn't concentrate on microing during the attack. I feel like I won a total victory [T/N I think the KR->CN translator mistyped on this part, could someone check the Korean?]
Q: It's the "Taek-Byung Rok" that has been long elusive. A: Once again I have experienced Stork's excellence. (haha) I haven't played him in a while, but I still feel it was fun. Last year, I was eliminated early, so I thought I wouldn't be able to participate this time, but I was still invited, and I even earned the championship. I apologize to Stork (haha).
Q: Anything else? A: Earning the championship that I missed last year makes me incredibly happy. I feel like the Korean fans will be glad too. This is the second year in a row that my birthday has fallen on a match with Samsung [T/N SKT vs Samsung coming up soon], so I must win. (haha)
Stork
Q: You earned runner-up, which is regrettable. A: I thoguht the brackets were done well. It looked like I could meet Bisu in the finals, so I was happy. Because this is my third time coming to IEF, but I got runner-up all three times, I really dislike China. (haha) [T/N ok what is going on here, Stork won IEF 2009]
Q: You gained an advantage by winning the first game. A: The starting positions weren't bad, so in the opening I already had an advantage. Once I blocked Bisu's first wave of attackers, I already had a huge advantage. I won the first game in a relaxed fashion.
Q: You lost the 2nd game despite having an advantage. A: When Bisu's first shuttle and reaver came to harass, I pulled most of my probes, but only later I discovered I had two still mining gas. There was no way around it, and I ended up with lots of minerals and not much gas. On top of that, Bisu's defense was good, and he even sent another wave of attackers, so I was forced to regretfully GG.
Q: In game 3, you attacked Bisu's mineral expansion, and it looked like you had taken the game, but you were pushed back gradually. How did that happen? A: I don't know either (haha). When I looked at the replay, under the circumstances of equal troops and resources, I had a reaver and a group of dragoons, so I should have won easily. It seems that I really didn't micro well.
Q: You've come to China 3 times but gotten 3 runner-ups. You must really dislike China. A: In Europe or America, I'm very strong (haha). This time, I only came because there wasn't SPL during the timeframe of the competition.
Q: Samsung will have a match with SKT soon. If you meet with Bisu... A: I hoped to meet a different opponent 2 years ago. (haha). On top of that, I can't guarantee I even play (haha).
Q: This is the long-elusive "Taek-Byung Rok" A: It's really intense. Recently, Bisu has been doing pretty well. I hoped to learn some new things from him, so I came to China. I also wanted to watch him play, but I couldn't, so I pretty much didn't learn anything (haha).
Q: Anything else? A: When I get back, I really need to prepare well for SPL (haha).
Stork interview up, but for some reason the interviewer is talking about Stork coming to China 3 times and getting silver 3 times. He won IEF 2009 though.

Yeah that was weird O_o, I even remember translating Stork's interview too!
Thanks a lot! Bisu is looking good! In both literal and non-literal senses.
Stork still has this laid back attitude about everything, which is fine. But lol, does he seem as unmotivated as ever or what? Not even guaranteed to make an appearance in SPL against SKT? Wha?
On the other hand, it seems that Stork has pretty much come to term with his silver king status. Silver miner, yum yum.

I am pretty sure that he means that the KHAN rookies will be good enough to clean sweep SKT without him playing lol (waiting for SKT fanboy rampage)

OR MAYBE STORK IS ON SKT NOW
OOOOOOO
That would actually be my dream of having Bisu and Stork on the same team together. They can learn so much from each other in PvT and PvZ, we'll have the ultimate Protoss players!

You'd think that is the case with Bisu and Best on the same team...
Stork's jacket is the same as Bisu's... so either it could be one the event handed out, or he borrowed it from Bisu.
Stork: Bisu, it's cold out there, lend me your jacket. Bisu: I do have all these female fans that speak another language. Guess I'll speak the universal one! *Bisu takes off shirt* Stork: ..... Least I have a girlfriend... I have a photo shoot to do.

For those confused about the going to China and only finishing runnerup comments: -IEF 2009, which Stork won, was held in South Korea. -Stork finished runnerup at IEF in 2008 which was in China. -WCG 2009 was held in China where Stork got the silver.
I think the question is supposed to be that stork went to China three times (IEF '08, WCG '09 and IEF '10) and came away with the silver all three times.

Thanks for the translations! So glad Bisu won <3 Not surprised he's popular with the Chinese girls either, come to Australia Bisu so I can follow you back to your hotel as well! (Like a creepy stalker)
