Is By.Hero the guy that Boxer identified as the next big thing? According to some translated interview he did call him the potential bonjwa. I think main factors are - godly APM, eliminated Bisu from osl 2-0, didn't show any nervousness in the process despite being young and new.
I'm keeping an eye on him personally. I think he could definitely go somewhere.
He's got July and Kal for ZvP advice, and Calm and Hwasin for ZvT. STX is such a great team.

Dang, there's a good chance that JD will go 2-0 next week, but I hope this won't be a repeat of the series vs Free.

I think what boxer meant is that by.hero reminds him of "that 1 player that can always beat bonjwas" because by.hero has beaten boxer, oov, and bisu in the last 6 months. not necessarily saying that he is going to be a "bonjwa" (not that its really even possible for that any more :\ ).
I really like by.hero though, but I also like hwasin 
It sucks that 1 has to lose

The amount of Stork haters in TL is ridiculous. Last OSL when he won, people blamed it on the lack of Z opponents even though he had to go through the entire SK roster (Best, Bisu, Fantasy). This OSL he's already faced JulyZerg and Jaedong (two excellent ZvPers) and still Stork doesn't get credit.
As for everyone complaining that Stork stalled too long at the end of the game, take a good look at what happened to Jaedong. He had a decent advantage until he blew it on a terrible attack. One battle can change the game so don't blame Stork for being overly cautious.

It's not Stork hate, people just find it more interesting to analyze what Jaedong did wrong rather than what Stork did right in general. I never saw any FU Stork, ez race imba comments.

Argh! Jaedong! Noo!
Lol~ it's okay. There's still two more games left. Good job by Stork though~

It's strongly implied because they make it sound like Stork just sat at his base w/ reavers until JD handed him the game on a silver platter, then they call him a pussy and a retard because he "dragged the game out 15 minutes longer than necessary." As if JD just sat there with empty bases afterwards. I guess they think archons and zealots on 3 base should be able to just completely roll over a 3 gas hive zerg with lurkers all over the map. This while zerg is doing a fantastic job of sniping obs and sending constant ling/defiler attacks at Stork's expo attempts.
The problem most of the time is the game observer was awful. He kept the view on Stork's swarm of archons patrolling the map the entire time. Every time Stork had a nice storm drop harass, the obs would only catch it on the very tail end where stork was casting the storms or there were the bodies of fried drones. He also had CONSTANT zeal and DT harassment, trying to maintain map control and snipe defilers. And he got MANY of them. There's a reason his expos eventually went up, and it's not because JD was mined out or anything. JD had a LOT of gas to work with.
It seems boring because everyone considered it a done deal when the bases went to 3 vs 3 and thought it was "in the bag" for Stork. Just like they thought it was in the bag for JD in the first half of the game. I bet they'd blame JD's loss on being "too passive" if JD hadn't attacked at that moment and lost later on too. Some of these armchair generals are just never satisfied. This game was far from Stork vs GGplay

Stork didn't play badly. You don't beat Jaedong by playing badly.

jaedong has a tendency to lose games in which he starts with an advantage
Jaedong almost always starts with an advantage :D

Storks great, and was not given the nick ''King Acorn'' for nothing!

I dislike Stork overall, and I have not watched the games, but I'll be the first to say that despite being a Stork "hater" I have to give him BIG props for beating Jaedong. I said before that Stork couldn't do what Bisu did, and I am being proven wrong. Congrats to Stork, Jaedong work harder!

i quite frankly dont see stork beating jaedong on SCR cause it really favors jaedong's style and doesnt support stork's macro oriented style enough, game 3 will be up to stork's creativity or he's gonna get raped

Agreed on all counts
Also the bolded part made me laugh hard, imagining some TLer in the chair watching starcraft in a generals outfit shouting at the top of their lungs.
Thanks for that.
