because he's practicing for the MSL.

Why is this worth a thread? I bring you back a nice quote from Stork around this time last year.

Stork on Flash not playing in the Proleague
▲ Stork: I learned about it watching the KT players coming into the waiting room. After seeing the player that is considered the best not playing in order to practice for individual leagues in a situation where every team is concentrating on the proleague, I wondered if he was lacking a little confidence. I'm not sure if the team purposely didn't let him play or if it was requested by himself, but I was very disappointed. Back when my schedule was full, I prepared and play for both my individual and proleague games. I wanted to play him today, so I prepared my Terran matchup, so it was a bit more disappointing for me.

I really wanted to play against Flash today in one of my matchups. While you can only know the results after playing, I am confident that I am able to win. I watched in the SKT vs KT game fantasy being too happy. I thought he was being too happy since he only managed to beat flash once, and while everyone speaks as if Flash is some unbeatable opponent, I think otherwise. While Flash is a good player, he is not an unbeatable opponent. So that's why, if I am given a chance, I wanted to play Flash to win in order to show that Flash is indeed beatable. There are the 5th round games left, and if the chance is there, I definitely want to play against Flash and play a great match.


Good one, Stork. Good one.

I don't think this makes him a hypocrite, but it probably indicates that he's lacking in confidence for the MSL

Has it been confirmed that his absence from today's PL was due to his practicing for MSL?

Not surprised at all

He was a hypocrite when he said it in the first place - he'd already not played in PL back in 2008 when he was in both leagues.

That's Stork for you, how this guy went from the most hated player on TL to the most loved, I'll never fully understand.

I don't want to sound like im denying the fact that stork was being hypocritical, but did flash have an individual final coming up when he left proleague to practice? I mean you can say stork is sensing a bit of urgency here, OSL finals and MSL quarters where he already dropped one game.
stork ftw

well he shouldnt have said that, makes him a bit hypocrite idd, but flash hadn't potentially up 9 games in three days and proleague wasnt in 3rd round was in last one, so the situation is kinda diferent.

yet another stork-hate post by milkis, keep 'em comin' specially in next PR thread cuz he'll be n1 again!
