It actually seems pretty rare that a team's ace is also is captain. I suppose that's because the better players tend to be the younger ones, while the captain is the oldest. Which just makes Stork all the more amazing that he's both <3 | ||

I hope this helps him focus better too.  The captain can't be playing cellphone games all the time.  | ||

--------------------------------- The article roughly translates to... KHAN finished their preparation for the new season with change in coching staff and players. To fill in Coach Yoo Ji Gang shoes, KHAN hired Coach Xian, who was the zerg coach for oz before. Coach Yoo left due to personal reasons. Odin has now become a playing coach. KHAN's zerg line has been considered weak since the departure of great; however, it has been rumored that odin has been training hard zergs during the off seaon. Along with the coaching staff, KHAN also looked to improve their roster. They improved their zerg line by picking up roro and shine. Also, they appointed stork as captain, since odin now has become a playing coach. January said "We have finished our preparation for the new season. Along with the formation of the 8th team, every team has gotten better, so we put in efforts to improve our team as well and with a better record this upcoming season, we'll thank our fans for their love and support." | ||

Yes, jaedong was captain but it was only for a short period of time until Anytime returned and he slumped while he was captain (although a Jaedong slump involves getting a win rate less than 60% lol). | ||

Imagine what these pros could do in the growing world of cellphone games. Khan needs to make the switch to cellphone games early so that they have an advantage when everyone else switches. Because Stork has had tremendous success as a BW/cellphone game hybrid player he is the obvious best choice for captain. Stork fighting! | ||

At the very least from Hiya's comments we know that the inhouse dynamics of Khan and Oz are very different so the whole captain into slump thing may not happen to Stork. | ||

Overall Khan protoss lineup might actually benefit from Stork taking more of a coaching role, given his cerebral approach to the game. Because in terms of just mechanics, I feel even Brave and Grape are better than Stork right now. They just lack Stork's decision-making. | ||
