I remember translating an interview that had the nickname question. Basically when Stork started playing, he was still in school, and he flipped through his English textbook for a cool word, he found "Storm", considered it, then found it to be too corny, so he went for something nearby and found "Stork". This is not word-for-word, but it's what I remember from that interview.

MarineKing is a very good nickname for example, it says something about the player and is unique, stork is just a bird that doesn't do anything impressive other than eating fish

And corny as storm would have been as well. One of the main things which legitimizes proBW in Korea is that they embrace the players real name. Game ID's are an after thought. It's also why i believe progaming in the west will always remain nerdculture and never be as mainstream as BW is in SKorea.

Anyone else feel like Fantasy is at the top of BW atm? Lately his games have been so impeccable and he just dismantles people left and right.

The only player who can rival Stork for that "#4 post-Savior" slot is Fantasy. I think Fantasy has done more in less time considering he didn't hit the big time until mid 2008 or so, whereas Stork was already earning recognition back in 2004-2005, but Stork still has 1 more finals appearance, has had a more significant rivalry than any of Fantasy's and can claim an overall larger metagame influence.



Even if most of this might be true, the bolded part is REALLY arguable hypothesis. Fantasy's impact for terran metagame was significant.

True, but since 2010 it doesnt sound that good. For example, I do feel unconfortable when I hear it XD

In case there still isn't enough evidence for Stork belonging to TBLS, he became just the 3rd(?) 100-game winner of the OSL, the most prodigious Starcraft tournament in history. I think only Boxer and Yellow are the other ones. Maybe one other.

he was number 3 behind flash/jd throughout all of 2010 and is now showing the next best results after flash. yet people still don't see him as a good player or make fun of other players when they lose to him, etc

I don't think he's underrated. Perhaps I'm missing something but right now he's undisputed number 2 and depending on how things play out he could easily take the number 1 spot.

Also, Reach has one of the sexiest IDs by far.
this is my quote.

He just doesn't have that many fans on TL imo . No fanclub for him too after one got closed for having too little info/pics etc.

Using an ID like "MarineKing" for a SC game is like the corniest and laziest thing you can do. It's about as equal to "CrazyHydra."

Im pretty sure that was MKPS first name.
