Pfft, this is Stork we're talking about. I bet he requested a day off so he could catch up on One Piece.

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.


The hell?

When was Stork EVER the most hated player on TL? This little hypocrisy aside he's one of the more likable players thats played the game for awhile now. Not sure what you're talking about.

Read some of the older Power Ranks lolol

Also when he made that remark after losing game 5 of MSL Finals? Such a sore loser comment lolol

Stork was, and still is, really arrogant; kind of a whole sore loser-bad winner thing. As someone said, he kind of belittles other people's success and makes excuses and shit when he loses lol ~_~

The PR's mainly Fakesteve hating on Stork.

Also, I get the feeling Stork gets hated because he actually says stuff. Most players just BS about practicing a lot and trying hard. Stork, as well as FBH, like to say non-PC things.

You speak enough of your opinions, and you're bound to rub some people the wrong way.

I'm really not seeing the hypocrisy here, or the cause for alarm. Maybe someone can explain in detail why feeling, last year, that Flash might have felt not so confident for his individual league matches because he was even dropping out of important proleague matches to prepare for them, makes Stork a hypocrite for doing the same thing. Maybe he was bragging a little that he hadn't done the same thing, but it didn't seem that he was admonishing Flash for it.

I like how Flash won 4 titles, winners league and proleague last year while Stork was busy getting eliminated early in tournaments by the likes of (T)MVP, and mailing in a coin-flip performance for KHAN. He was a lazy ass and a big-mouth.

But now he's S-class again, and apparently suffers from poor memory.

All of us Stork followers, haters and fans alike, should not be surprised by this move.

no one can deny that theres hypocrism in what stork said.

he probably said that on a whim, not thinking that he himself would be able to double league. also because he was pissed because he was super prepared to play flash

Seeing so many people just chime in and say "Stork is a hypocrite" or "Stork is not a hypocrite" makes me really sad, because that just turns this into a fanboy debate thread with an extra slathering of hate. I think we've agreed already that this is hypocritical, and there's no real discussion to be had. IMO we should be talking about what some people hinted at - what does this mean for Stork? Is he lacking confidence? Maybe his PvT is showing weaknesses in practice - does that mean Fantasy has a better shot?

Er, I'm pretty sure all of his love started coming when he started to say stuff. He also finally gained credibility when he actually won an OSL.

Before, he was just that Protoss that always lost in the finals to the number 1 (Bisu, Jaedong, then Flash) in unspectacular fashion (dragoon range, ee han timing, shortest osl final ever).

It's not hypocritical as long as Stork admits that he is out of the individual leagues due to a lack in his confidence to do both or if it is due to January just playing noobs anyway to get the team better which I wouldn't doubt either.

I don't get why it's hypocritical. It's only hypocritical if he comes out after the game or in an interview sometime and is all, "Naw, I was totally ready to play ZerO, EZPZ." As it is... we can just assume he's worried about the matchup.

I mean, yeah, the little bit of the brag, "I always prepped for everything," and then not showing up today, but this is like a year ago.

IOW, okay, maybe a little weird, but I'm thinking it didn't really deserve its own thread.

Why? Where was Stork wrong? When Stork was playing in Clubday MSL and Incruit OSL, he did not take time off from PL. What Stork is truly to blame is the fact that he obviously did not understand the amount of preparation necessary to dual league these days, as opposed to yester-years where players didn't practice 14 hours a day.

So really, if you look at it closely, it's less about hypocrisy and more about spewing opinions that are simply wrong. Stork was wrong in that he shouldn't say things he has no clue about.

Being a hypocrite requires that one does not believe in his words. I see no reason why at the time, Stork did not believe his own words.
