Wow at the ppl complaing at Stork. This is one of the reason i love Stork ... he always says whats on his mind unlike 99% of progamers who just give fake interviews.

Big deal so he is a hypocrite because he said something like 1 year ago ... if we look at things like that im sure every human on this planet is hypocrite.
Stork and KHAN fan till 2012 ...

I'm also quite sure that the main reason behind such a big popularity boost for Stork in last months is not just his phenomenal performance nowadays, but the fact that he is probablly the progamer with best and most normal personality. He's just good, warm and trusty person, many of us would like to have friend like him
I apologize for all my english mistakes. I used to write really good senteces in this lenguage, but nowadays, i smoke too much weed and drink too much vodka. So you must forgive me :)

sure he went overboard with some comments in the past but that is because he was brutually honest and disappointed that he could not play flash. it was a year ago at a troubled time for esports, i believe stork has grown and learnt his lesson and would apologise given the chance.

To me Stork has always seemed to be a bad winner, a bad loser, arrogant, childish and just bad mannered in general. This only compounds on that.
It's nice to see someone not flash have some success for a while but I would really have prefered it to be anyone but stork :p

Oh Stork, I'm so disappointed in you.... NOT!

Think of it this way: Stork could choose to continue to play in PL for the team, but he could gave up his spot for another player to play against WeMade, and he wants to believe his team can do well without him for the day.

Which they did. Sure, this may earn him some e-red points, but he's still a baller protoss player that entertains the audience with his play.

Stork is still amazing.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Nothing new here, he had already done this before he criticized Flash.

Seriously, you actually believe progamers when they just say "they work really hard" and "I was lucky" in all their interviews? And that none of such players actually complain and show arrogance in their own house.

I honestly find it more refreshing when players give their opinions on various subjects as they see them. I like interviews that actually give insight into players thought process regarding games, rather than just "oh, I'm glad I won as I practiced a lot and I did well in practice and I fought really hard." Seriously, who cares about those things?

It's much more entertaining when I saw Stork laughing his ass off after stomping Kwanro's gay 2-hatch hydra and talk about how much of a noob Kwanro is for being cheesy. At least you know he has a personality.

Anyone actually thinks the same as me, that Stork is sitting a the practice house "damn I am lame, but I have to do this instead of PL"

maybe not, but its certainly a possibillity

And whatever if he critisized flash lol, hypcrisy is just fun and you go "hey you were hyprocritic haha"
"haha, true"
end of deal, whats the big drama ?

On the other hand drama is entertaining... let it roll people!

You really think that seconds after match Turn's only problem was to save his friend Stork from teamliquid users, who dig out a year old interwiev with birdtoss


Actually it is specifically said that they were aware that Stork are receiving a lot of flak from Korean Netizens and thus they felt the need to clarify that.

Not saying that Turn / the team was covering for Stork just that obviously any flak that Stork receive here are magnified tenfold in Korean sites.

Where is the hypocrisy?! Stork was only sad because flash dodged him. Today Samsung played against Wemade (not KT!). Stork didnt dodge Flash or anyone and Samsung WON the game(KT lost because of Flash's absence). So what's the matter? Calm down people.


Well, Stork basically called out Flash in his previous interview, and said when his schedule was busy he still played. strongly implying that he would never do what Flash did. It doesn't matter if January decided to pull him or if he asked for the time to practice, based on the context of his old interview he should've demanded to play. Yes, Samsung won the match today, but they could've easily lost. Nothing is guaranteed and it only hurts the team to play without their best player.


Again, go back and read my post. Stork never said when his schedule was full he still played. There is an error in the OP, something that wasn't in the original Korean interview was included.

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.


This OP is misleading. I read the original Korean interview here: http://www.fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=106476&db=interview&cate=&page=1&field=&kwrd

and Stork never said "Back when my schedule was full, I prepared and play for both my individual and proleague games." The only thing he said was that based on flash's absence ("at a time when all teams are focusing on proleague," I admit this phrase seems to have a critical nuance of flash), stork thought maybe flash was lacking confidence that he could win in the proleague. And that he was disappointed that he could not face flash.



Are you kidding or ignoring it on purpose.

it's quite simple - his builds and their execution in every matchup are really close to perfect. he was always known - especially in PvT - for his flawless play throughout whole the game. it's not like he's just good at openings and all-ins, or just good in middlegame transitions, or just in late game macro. he perfected and understood whole sc:bw mechanics better than any other protoss in history

I don't blame players for taking time off to practise for individual SLs, but Stork just shot himself in the foot here.

Didn't Flash apologize after learning Stork's comments?

That doesn't really answer the question why he's popular. Flash is the closest thing to perfection any SC player has been no matter the race, and he's far from being the most popular.

I don't wanna lose my time looking for interviews from last month, but in one there is much talk about that poeple really like to cheer for Protosses - no matter if it's Bisu, Stork or idk Kal, Toss race has been troubled for almost whole bw history. There almost always was time of Terran raigning, Zergs also had their moments, but when you look at Protoss lines in progaming, even the "Six Dragons Era" was really short and probablly ended as soon as maps changed to less favorable for their race.

So yeah - i sure agree with you Flash is someone closest to perfection in sc:bw, but is his dominance and flawless play really such a "wow oh and ah" situation, when we used to call on one breath other bw gods that were terrans too - Boxer, Nada, oov and xellos? Zergs also had their prime times more often, thanks to Yellow, July, than Savior replaced soon after by the only JeaDong.

And i think not only Protoss users are glad to see, that in times when Bisu and Stork used to be in the end of first ten KeSPA pros, they both (but Stork obviously better) suddenly show us something near to perfect Protoss play. I think most of TL users love Nal_rA, no matter if you Terran or SKT fan, you're just amazed by his invension and style. Now Stork has it - he's got very recognizable style that show us that toss doesn't have to be beatten all around. Finally P race become more complex and advanced.

Stork is already having enough difficulties with this MSL. He is probably lacking confidence.

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


Where can I see this interview?
