Stork: "There needs to be a Players Council." - Page 4

If you derail this thread to argue about SC2 vs BW in any context other than that of the interview (e.g. saying things like "colosi suck" or "all BW fans are elitist jerks!"), I will ban you for at least a week, if not more. This is your only warning. I added this page 17

You have been warned

It is rumored that Stork is not that good at Sc2 (just a rumor). If that is true, then i think stork is just worried about him and other players that indeed and sadly will get out of the scene.
I'm just trying to think what he said, don't summon a shitstorm over me.


How can you be good at something when you can't even bring yourself to take fondness in it.

And oh as a Stork fan, I will be lenient about this post. But if issue start to exacerbate, prepare for it.

Why would he say that because of himself, he has a golden hand along with Boxer and Yellow, He has been in every starleague but two since 2006(or before?), he won one OSL one PL, the only thing he hasn't won are two other OSLs, well and most OSL wins. He hasn't any reason to worry, he is one of the most successful players ever.
EDIT: I will be a gentleman just cause it is a Stork thread.

Finally, I can't believe how long it took for a player to say something like this. Even if some are fine with the transition, its undoubtable many are pissed off.

As I said, the WAY the transition is going is the real problem, as it's incredibly hard and unforgiving for the players

YES! Karking yes! This is what I've been saying ever since this format was announced (and a long time before). Kespa is once again screwing over their players (who are the real reason the BW scene succeeded and continues to succeed) just so they can wring out a few more bucks and protect themselves from actually having to take a karking risk. Players are suffering with this transition, which Kespa is handling with all eyes on the bottom line and no eyes on the players--and finally, someone has actually spoken out about it.

This is the reason I have never liked Kespa; their nasty, exploitative attitude towards the players. These players simply NEED a union, they NEED a voice in the way the esports scene is run, and there could be no one better for the role than Syong Byong Goo himself. He's extremely popular with the fans, he's well-established, he probably has the widest social circle in the BW scene at the moment, is on good terms with many players from many teams, and he's also not afraid to speak his mind. I seriously hope Stork actually makes this happen, and hopefully the fans can apply some pressure to Kespa to see that it bears fruit.

In other news, this is also confirmation, if I needed it (I didn't), that Stork is and always will be my favorite player. SYONG BYONG GOO!

Though I can't claim to really know anything at all about the scene, my two years of following and reading up on brood war have really made me feel for this game. I honestly thought this shit would last forever...

Never really thought much about stork, besides his absurdly good PvT. But to see a veteran like him standing up for the players of the game I love- for the game TL loves--- +1 fan Stork.
Jaedong. For now. Forever.

Stork is kind of like IdrA, they are both somewhat dicks but very sincere in voicing their opinions.

Glad to see someone finally speak out, but angered at the same time that he's the only one, and that it took so looong. Kespa has been screwing over the players for a loooooong time now, nobody is going to do anything about it.
Kespa's abuse has been going on for a long time.
Basically, what those guys said :+ Show Spoiler +

I think this isn't just about the switch to SC2, it's also a lot about the way Kespa treats the players in general. As far as I understand it, Kespa can force the players to do what they want and will face no opposition because the players that oppose Kespa won't stay for long. The players have far too little control over what they do. All other sports where such a powerful organisation exists has a player/ team council to counter the weight of said organization. It's about time something like that is implemented into BW (and other games as well - there was actually a huge discussion in the SCII forum about the need for a players council a few months ago).

it is explained in the interview that he had no avenue to express his thoughts on the matter until now. he used the avenue of becoming only the 3rd player to reach 100 single player wins in osl as the platform to voice his concerns, why are people so concerned about the timing? it seems rather logical to me

It's funny, because the interview where Boxer talked about what Stork is referring to is something I remember really vividly. It was an interview where Boxer and Savior got together, and Boxer was hoping that Savior would become a kind of lead figure after him.

It's quite sad if you look back at it with the knowledge and experience of what everyone knows that has happened since then.

edit: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86325


Wow...you can just taste the moral dilemma in some of Saviors comments regarding life after being on top.

I dont really see what you are referring to, however. Nothing Boxer talks about is as specific and practical as what Stork is talking about.
