actually i think stork should get those 2 or 3 silver medals, because then yellow would be only second best in becoming second best.

Good one.

I dont think it's over for Stork. One thing i like about him is that he never goes into long losing streak.
He lost againts Jaedong last OSL but after losing one or two games he was back to normal destroying his opponents in Proleague.
I hope we'll see a more powerful version of him next time.

Starcraft couldn't handle another oov. Boring leagues and tournaments suck and with oov, you knew who was going to win.

he brought so much drama though. nada rivalry, boxer showdown, man vs beast, the zerg resurgence

stork cannot adapt thats the thing.

I think its the exact opposite -- I think Stork can adapt better than almost anyone else in the pros. His problem is that he cannot innovate. He can pick apart builds during practice and get really strong at taking them down (as someone pointed out -- he lost against Bisu in that MSL, and its obvious he took that to heart and improved his PvP to a godlike level, 3-0'ing Bisu next time they met .... only to lose to Jaedong in the finals, after which he worked on his PvZ in order to stomp Luxury .... only to lose to Flash in the finals ), but hes always playing catchup.

He was totally ready for the Flash he met in GSI, if Flash had played the same as he did then with his anti-carrier, slow push builds that Stork had obviously studied the hell out of and was completely ready for, he would have lost. Instead Flash, who has the true champion spirit, innovated and played perfect and left Stork looking like a Bnet noob and Flash looking like the greatest TvP ever to live.

Yeah..
Fuck Xellos.

Not Casy though, hes got that spastic cool micro.

When you see him hold onto it, you know he's smiling a empty smile, trying to push the feeling away. And the fact that he's chubby now, his eyes glimmer with a tired look, just downright depressing.

Don't think he'll ever come to close to the podium game now that the game has transcended so far up. Such a shame. The old die out.

Stork losing it all the time makes you wonder, people tend to forget Stork's been around for a long time, he kind of symbolizes the last generation of the old school, fading out so slowly but always making a mark somewhere up. But one day he won't get anymore chances, where would he be?

Either way I still think he fucking sucks. Watched his old reps and disgusted with his talentless finesse. Yeah sure, he worked so hard to get up top, how much he's evolved, but he doesn't have enough talent for the game, its all been practice, copying, and standardizing for stork, never the innovator. Innovation makes a legend. Grasping the impossible makes you legend. However if you play the game like a multiple choice question on a math test, a Russian roulette, or a game of tic-tac-toe, you don't deserve it, even with all your well earned skills in strategic play. Stork comes just inches away from greatness, he lacks the killing edge, the unique characteristic that stands out.

Yes I am well aware of the generic winners of finals such as Mind and maybe Chojja, but they brought execution to a fine limit, and brought their absolute best in that category.

Or its Karma. Imitation of FBH against the mighty Oov = epic fail.

Considering the history that preceeded that ceremony, it's anything but a failure.
