- Thoughts on advancing into the MSL? ▲I expected a tough fight against Jaehoon, but luck was on my side and I went 2-0, easily making it into the MSL.
- You rolled yCH easily ▲I didn't think I should spend too much practice time on PvP, so I practiced mostly PvZ. I didn't think my chances were that good, but perhaps my opponent was a bit too nervous, and it was no problem at all.
- How about your match with Jaehoon? ▲I'd already played Jaehoon before in the Proleague. I noticed that he had good mechanics [T/N 體制運行... macro?], and to keep up with his tech I decided to skip Observers.
- Why did you anticipate difficulty in your match against Jaehoon? ▲He's been doing well lately in the Proleague, and I practice with him often, so there's a little bit of pressure there.
- You've fallen in 9 straight MSLs ▲I lose too much in the MSL. Every season my goal is to make it to the finals, but it doesn't work out. I've gotten eliminated 0-2 several times in a row now, but I keep getting MST seeds because of my KeSPA ranking in the team, and I feel a bit unworthy, and bad for my teammates (the system's changed now) - I hope to end the slump this season.
- What did you do on vacation ▲I hadn't gone home for a long time, so I spent some time with my family, and we went hiking. Because it was pretty short notice, I didn't contact my friends - I'll definitely do so next time. Also, Firebathero was also on break, so we got to meet up.
- Your goals this time? ▲Nothing in particular. Getting back into prime condition is the most important thing for me right now, so I don't have any expectations as far as scores are concerned, as long as during the Group Selection I can do well and get the Galaxytab. As a Samsung player, I just *have* to get a Galaxytab. But I'm not really much of a public speaker, so I don't think I can do it. If Sea wins, I hope he gives it to me, haha. (Thanks to Optical Shot!:*edit: oh and also, according to the DES original article (Stork's interview), the GalaxyTab is offered as a prize in the MSL group selection ceremony for "best entrance ceremony" or "talk king" (the one that talks the most and is actually funny). Stork wants Sea to give it to him because Stork thinks Sea is going to win it (i.e. Sea is a funny and talkative guy!).)
- Final Remarks? ▲Unfortunately, Juni was eliminated in the previous group... I hope he keeps it up in the Proleague and does well.
You expected a tough fight against jaehoon? Really stork? Would have been more plausable to say that you expected a tough fight against yCh. It also would have been more plausable to say that Khan will win proleague.
HOLY SHIT Stork is PUMPED Stork you are the only one that can throw Flash off his throne!!!

I love the picture for stork. It seems so fitting. I really hope that Stork advances far into both leagues this time around; I really like him and think he's a good player, so it would break my heart to see him drop out. >.<

You sound like you haven't watched any of MBC's games. Jaehoon has improved a lot and he has a better winrate than Stork this season. Of course Stork is the better player but Jaehoon is no pushover.

Stork also said that he practices with Jaehoon, so he is familiar with the practice Jaehoon who is supposedly really good.

Honestly, Jaehoon haven't really been tested yet. I'm not very impressed by his wins. He have basically only beaten no-name players. I wouldn't really value wins over Grape, Crazy-Hydra, Major and Lomo. He did also beat forGG and Horang2, but forGG is slumping really bad and is well-known for his bad TvP. PvP is also usually a toss up, and Jaehoon have also lost against M18M and Shuttle and now he got completely owned by Stork. He still have a lot to prove.
Stork played very well, but i care more about JAEHOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! plz translate!!
Also, on the topic of jaehoon improving, He for sure has, because before he couldn't beat "no-Namers" all the time, he was like <50%, but now he HAS gained solid skills, demonstrated in his game against stork!

SO he's better, but not A class lol
Yep, this is a guy who had a 35% winrate in standard leagues before this season. He's over 66% this season. By his standards he has been tested. I don't think his interview has been translated into Chinese yet, but here's some parts I can decipher from the Korean DES interview:
-He's extremely happy to have made it into the MSL after 4 years, so happy that he's lost for words. The reality has just sunk in.
-Lately he feels that whatever situation he encounters in matches he has an answer for it. His mind is much more at ease/at peace.
-He thinks his hands seem to respond well to whatever he thinks of doing during matches and he's no longer embarrassed to be on live tv.
-Practices often with Stork. -He's not that disappointed with losing the game against Stork because his goal was to play 3 games and adjust well to playing lives matches in MST.
-He prepared a build against Terran for the final game but didn't get to use it so if he encounters a Terran during the MSL and gets the right opportunity, he will show this build. Please anticipate this, he says.
-"I think I'm very different now compared to the past".
-He's been practicing very hard and is very grateful to Mumyung and Pusan for staying back with him to help him practice until 3am.
-His goal for this season: He will reveal it later. He feels proud that he has made it into the Ro32 of MSL. Asks fans to expect better performances from him. He thinks Jangbi's nickname, "almighty" is cool and would be very happy if fans could give him a good nickname too. + Show Spoiler +
This nickname business is apparently a sensitive issue for Jaehoon. Fans used to call him a funny nickname because of his failed recalls so he gets upset when he hears that nickname and has said a few times in interviews this season that he would like very much if he can have a nice nickname instead.
