Stork has been my favorite Broodwar player since 2006 and he surpassed my first encounter with Korean Progaming in 2004 where JulyZerg battled GoodFriend in some final. Stork has been the best strategist of all players. His PvT was unstoppable until FlaSh dethroned Stork with his anti-carrier build that tricked Stork in the Gom TV MSL finals. There is so much to say, but I am so thankful for all the excitement and joy Stork has given me with his games. Dinotoss will always be a legend in BW history. | ||

Surprised to see how young people like Soulkey, Zero, Mini (especially!), and guys like Jyj/Soma are since they will be carrying sc:bw forward, since theyre all late-mid 20s to late 20s | ||

The brand is there, but the people that actually did it are not. Given the current state of the company, I would expect whatever the next great RTS to come from somewhere else. | ||

The retirement news could have been withheld for a day or two to give viewers a chance to watch the group, especially considering it's our policy to avoid spoilers for a brief period after the games, but I also can't fault the OP for posting it since we do encourage information sharing here. I too was spoiler-ed by the title and figured he must've lost and retired right away. Thankfully, I was also surprised to see him take the fight to Snow and grab a nice victory on Lemon so it was the best way to retire, with his head held up high. | ||

So he contributed a lot. I remember seeing him play at WCG Koln. GG Stork. Yeah, remember the ole "Sack the natural and win with carriers on a non-carrier map" strategy he used in ASL 11? The guy was fun to watch. | ||

All I wanna say is that I met him a couple of times and he was such a funny and down to earth guy, after his Bacchus OSL 2010 game vs Mind he waited outside just for me because he wanted to see me and shake my hand... He could've just left but he didn't... Stork was making fun of me because my hand was shaking when I was holding the camera... it was hilarious. My korean female entourage was a little bit older than him and I left them some space for a chat after the meet up ^^ I think he really enjoyed that evening  | ||

BW can end tomorrow and it's not the end of the world. You're wrong though, in that no new (exciting) players have come through despite all these years. Also if you don't have something decent to say, then don't. For posting like this you have proved yourself to be more of a dick. | ||
