First he bad mouths Koreans at IEF for losing to "foreigner scum" [or similar translation, it was very very negative. Surprised people on TL don't remember it.] and now he's being so blatantly hypocritical towards missing proleague. I used to like Stork before he tarnished my view of him with his IEF foreigner trash-talk, and now this. Yes, he's playing good Starcraft, but I just can't respect him any more.

I mean, what's your alternative meaning of hypocrite?

But, you know, serious business aside, trash talk is trash talk. Words is just words. The Bird is taking (T)Fantasy down. Too bad this MSL is (Z)Jaedong's tying NaDa's record

=)

Edit> I don't find it particularly bad that someone is a hypocrite, because every single human is one. And that's what's so ironic and funny about them. But no doubt Stork is being one hypocrite now, haha. Great OP =)

Must qualify this statement.

Is this the interview you're talking about?

▲The locations for the broadcast games and the normal games were far apart so I didn't find out the results for a while. When I heard them I was shocked. If they had played more safely they would have progressed, so it was disappointing they couldn't do so. I tried hard to play an adaptive style.

easy to throw stones from your glass houses

what is wrong with being a hypocrite? EVERYONE is a hypocrite at some point or another because we are all human. you're being a hypocrite by criticizing someone for being a hypocrite.

what you call hypocritical, i call the right to change one's mind.

whether or not he's being a hypocrite has no impact on the veracity of his statement.

This isn't about hypocrisy so much as Stork perhaps realizing why he's 22 years old and only has one gold while Flash has way more than that.

Well I just think Stork is very serious about getting some more gold before he gets too old, as he is from a statistic point of view the best Protoss player of all time, and having an additional 2 golds would definately add some leverage to that. As I think he is an all around more solid player than Bisu, maybe not as naturally talented, so it's necessary for him to take the time out for some extra Practice.

people saying there is no hypocrisy are seriously kidding themselves


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.

Actually he did, http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=korean&type=players&id=59&part=games&vs=all&league=any&map=any&from_year=2008&from_month=8&from_day=19&to_year=2008&to_month=11&to_day=2&action=Update there's the stretch when he was in Incruit. As you can see between the 21st and 31st of October he didn't play in any proleague matches, despite http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=94242 (click round 1 spoiler) showing that khan had a proleague match that went to the ace match on the 27th.

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.


Are you serious? Ugh, how times have changed =(


Let's not forget the time he was rigging games in WCG 2007 by dropping them on purpose vs foreigners to avoid facing another Korean in the early stages. Hell, I remember he even cheated in the WCG by using the stop obs trick over the turret, which was illegal, but he got away with it.

I'm pretty sure that the obs over turret trick isn't illegal in KeSPA sanctioned games so you can't really blame him for that

This thread is already at five pages so my post will probably be lost in the shuffle, but there's a difference between changing your opinion about something and being a hypocrite. Stork really believed what he said then, but now his opinion about it has surely changed. There's nothing wrong with that. If Stork was still saying those things today, while taking a day off to practice, then he would be a hypocrite.

I've been following BW on and off for a few years now but I usually just watched GOM. So I'm a little curious, can anyone drop some backstory on why Stork used to be so hated?

I'm honestly just really curious.


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 ~_~


I used to hate stork when he just played super boring 2-base carrier PvTs all the time. man he was boring lol.

carriers PvTs still are still the most boring times in non-mirror MUs honestly lol


Seriously. PvT is a pretty good MU until carriers pop out, then everything slows to. a. crawl. Not to mention they are ridiculously imba.

P + Carriers > T
T > P + Arbiters

All in all it evens out to about 50/50

I agree. He's finally wisening up. When I read that interview where he talked about regretting wasting a whole year on WoW, I felt his mindset had changed.

I don't remember the details that far back then. But at that time, Khan actually had FBH/Jangbi at their peak. So Stork not getting sent out to Ace, or not even playing in some matches, is hardly a big deal. Usually one of them just take matches off because their overall lineup was so good.

Also forgot that Stork even had GOM games, which I believe he didn't bother practicing for at all.

I don't get why people are giving him shit for something he said a year ago, in any case.
