Hydra hardly won his game. In fact once he lost his Hive and Defiler tech he was behind. Good Terran (Sea, Midas, Flash) would win that game. Hydra play is quite impressive but I don't give him much chance to finish in top 3.

I wanted Bisu to put Stork down a little because I feel that Stork's dominance as for now will be shortlived as his older performances have shown. But after yesterday's and today's game, I think that Stork have went over his past "confidence" hurtle. Hopefully we'll finally see a new merge of a Protoss bonjwa.


Confidence hurdle? It's more like Stork was too arrogant and didn't take his finals opponents seriously in the seasons he won silver. He's never had a problem with confidence.


What could be more serious than facing Bisu, Jaedong, or Flash ( who are responsible for 95% of his silvers, be it Starleague or WCG) in a final? According to BW statistics, well, nothing. Nothing is more serious.

Stork's problem was psychological. The nervousness and tension of playing in a final, coupled with the subsequent branding of the Silver Surfer nickname (i.e., "The choke artist, the guy who will always lose when it matters"), is what crippled him. Some people simply have a very hard time dealing with pressure, and Storku is one of them.

I really do hope he manages to shrug it off and seize the opportunity, 'cause I doubt it'll present itself so easily next time (what with Flash being out of both leagues and Jaedong out of the OSL).


Since the Incruit OSL, Stork's problem was more about not devoting enough to the game. He's basically the only progamer who talks about manga, anime, video games not named SC, etc. in his interviews. He also has a girlfriend. Basically he cares about life outside the game. Stork for a long time sort of just half-assed it. Basically he saw that other players have caught up, and he had no drive to push himself above the fray.

But apparently, for some inexplicable reason, Stork has found new motivation. It seemed to have been his fans, who have been pretty ridiculous lately. Regardless, Stork is actually practicing more, which has allowed him to play almost flawlessly. Kind of Flash-like in a way, by always making the right decisions. From his recent games, he truly is flawless commander.

i like the responses to the first question in the interviews of "how do you feel to make the ro8"

"I'm really happy...."
"I'm very happy that..."
"i'm happy that..."

jaedong - "nothing special"

Yes, in the past Stork just had too many distractions. His attention was never fully on practicing. Maybe JD/Flash's exit from the OSL made him realise that this is his great chance to grab the golds he should have won earlier in his career.
