No one put this up yet and I'm drunk, so...

Winners:

[image loading]
Very happy

(P)Stork:

Q You ended the Tiebreaker and advanced to Ro8.
A The sudden addition of Tiebreaker was very tiring. The schedule during Tuesday to Thursday was hellish, and then Tiebreaker was added to the mix. I even had to practice during the 25th. Luckily I was well prepared and I was able to advance because of it.

Q This is your second consecutive time advancing, and this time there are no (T)Flash or (Z)Jaedong.
A It is a good thing, but then the pressure to do well will be even bigger. All the players in the Ro8 understands that complacency is not an option even if (T)Flash and (Z)Jaedong is absent.

Q The maps in the Tiebreaker are favorable for you.
A It was my first time playing a PvT on Gladiator, Icarus and Aztec are both SPL maps so I've had lots of practice on them and was confident. I was abit concerned that I had to play (T)Mind on Gladiator, since I know the map is abit terran favored. However after some practice it felt like an OSL version of Aztec, and PvT seem to have a 60% winrate, so it should be easier to play.

Q You avoided having to play zerg (in the Ro8).
A If I can advance on the top of my group then I could avoid them, and it would be good if I can avoid protoss as well and not having to play (P)Kal (at the time of the interview the match-up hasn't been drawn yet). All the other 7 players are exceptional.

Q So you practiced during Christmas?
A I have been practicing for the Tiebreaker, and I also went to the gym.

Q (T)Sea lost on the 24th, if he had won then there wouldn't be a Tiebreaker.
A I lost to (Z)Shine, so I told Sea not to create a tiebreaker, but it didn't work out that way. I really wanted Sea to end his losing streak, but he lost on the 24th and also on today. Sea is very handsome when he smiles, I hope I can see his smile again soon.

Q Words have it that without 'TaekLeeSung', Stork will reign supreme.
A Ever since we became rivals in 2007, this is the first time that I enter Ro8 on my own. I feel like out of the 4 of us at least one has to make a stand in terms of result.

Q Anything else you want to say?
A We received our Galaxy Tabs on Friday, and they were personally delivered by staffs during team meal. It gave us alot of motivation and I really appreciate it. Galaxy Tab is the best! I want to thank (Z)oDin hyung for coming with me to the stadium and thank the team mates that helped me with practice.


[image loading]
Not so happy

(T)Mind:

Q Thoughts on advancing to Ro8?
A I was hoping to advance alongside with (Z)Shine, but in the end I went through alone, it's really not good and I can't feel happy at all.

Q When was the last time you were in Ro8?
A It's been 2 years since I last entered Ro8 in Incruit OSL, It has been awhile.

Q How was the preparation?
A The SPL match went fairly late, we basically had no time to practice, and only had a few games of TvP. I did not prepare to play against Shine at all, and likewise Shine only prepared against (P)Stork as well.

Q Did the loss in SPL had any effect?
A I was hoping that we could win both matches, but the results were very disappointing.

Q You two both lost to (P)Stork, what did you say to each other before the final game?
A We didn't talk much, Shine said it was very regretful. We both said this was the worst possible outcome, and then we started the game.

Q How did the game against (Z)Shine went?
A I didn't have any good strategy, so I went for 2 port. We both didn't practice for it so we both improvised. I was only abit more lucky to have won.

Q Anything you want to say to (Z)Shine?
A The best result would have been both of us advancing, and it was a pity that it wasn't to be. Looks like I'd have to buy you dinner. Also I will work hard to play in place of Shine.

Q You'll face (Z)Calm in the Ro8, it will be a match between MSL champions.
A I often play against Calm, and I'm have a few more wins in head to head. However I lost to him recently, so I will win him back.

Q So you have a new goal now.
A (Z)Calm is a very difficult opponent, so I must concentrate and play well in the Ro8.

Q Anything else you want to say?
A This OSL I got into a team-kill group, and it was a very awkward experience. Having to eliminate Shine in the Tiebreaker made it even more awkward. I will work hard to play in place of Shine and I hope I can get good results.

Stork is just so cool <3 He has been my favorite progamer ever since I started watching BW :D

Also seems as if he doesn't care TOO much about progaming, as he seems to "have a life" (i.e. going to the gym, enjoying those sexy galaxy tabs, playing cell phone games late into the night, etc. :>)

Good to see Stork not letting smugness get to him. Bad to go in with the mindset that "Jaedong/Flash aren't there! LOLOLOL THIS WILL BE EASY!"

(a quick search for fanclubs/fan cafes yielded nothing)

There are more than enough stork fans on here kekeke

Impressive stuff from Stork.

After such a strong season so far it's weird to think that Shine could be out of both individual leagues within a week. Hopefully Bisu can take advantage of Shine's recent losses, though somehow I still think he owns Bisu mentally.

I am so happy for Stork. Although if he plays Kal in the Ro4 it will be a massive challenge. Besides that he is the favourite over anybody.
