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 realized when the titles seem within short reach, you've gotta practice damn hard. Oh well, not like he can retract his old statement now.

nor playing cellphone games

Kind of sad that he said that and is doing this now but I kind of understand too
Individual league is really important too after all

and it could be for other reasons as well (unlikely but)

I guess he just sees it a bit differently now for whatever reason, but I'm fine with his decision; I mean he does have a great shot at the finals.

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.

Well then, disappointed at stork for the hypocrisy. But at the same time im happy for him, he knows what he wants and want he wants is to win individuals. So you do what you gotta do, he has balls.

Come on... Even if he is being hypocritical this is his biggest chain I'm his life to get dual golds which is looking more and more possible... I'd say that it's fine that he's practicing hard for his leagues especially since he only has 1 gold to his name but many silvers

A lot of people hated him maybe 3 years ago. Even as a Stork fan, I can see why.

There isn't a person on this earth that isn't a hypocrite. Some are just worse.

Hopefully Stork remembers the interview like we do, haha.

Yep, even as a Stork fan I'd say he's definitely a hypocrite for saying that.

That said, Stork at the time was probably half-assing it and thought he'd just replace cell-phone game time with practice if he had to. Now, he's actually practicing full time, and realize the importance of time because of it.

Wow, Stork is super serious about individual leagues this time around. SKT1 please let Fantasy do the same and focus on OSL!

In the interview, Stork clearly says he wanted to show that Flash was beatable. He doesn't need to now, because Hyuk and Ssak have already done that this season.

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.

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

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.

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 =)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.


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.

Can anyone link me the original full interview in Korean? I can't confirm the part where he said that "back when I had a full schedule I still showed to for proleague" from quotes in korean.

Also in case there is confusion, by "disappointed" he meant that he was disappointed he couldn't face flash, not that he was disappointed in flash's actions.

Took me a while, but I found the original.

I don't see any sarcasm. There's a heavy tone of disappointment, like being bracketed against Nadal in a tennis tournament, then getting there and find out he has to practice for another major competition later that week. In that sense, Stork may just be calling out Flash's confidence just because he was so let down by losing the opportunity to play that excellent PvT.

EDIT: take with a grain of salt. I am reading off a translation, after all

EDIT: note that i'm also really bad at detecting unusually thick sarcasm... although i still doubt it's sarcastic

이영호가 출전하지 않는다는 소식을 들었는지
▲ 대기실에 KT 선수들이 들어오는 것을 보고 알았다. 모든 팀이 프로리그에 집중하는 상황에서 최고라고 불리는 선수가 개인리그 연습을 위해 불참하는 것을 보고 ‘약간 자신감이 없나’라는 생각이 들었다. 팀에서 의도적으로 빼준 건지 본인이 요청한 것인지는 모르겠지만 많이 아쉬웠다. 나도 예전에 스케줄이 많을 때는 개인리그와 프로리그 모두 준비하고 출전했었다. 오늘 한번 맞붙어보고 싶어서 연습도 테란전 위주로 준비했는데 그러지 못해서 더욱 아쉬웠다.

It's blatantly obvious that he is criticizing Flash here.

Stork wasn't being hypocritical as much as a liar (unless it was a joke, or just bad memory) since when he made that interview, he had demonstrably already at least once skipped Proleague to practice for individual games.

Wow what's with the intense stork hate today?

Open spoilers if you want to know what was said...
+ Show Spoiler [KHAN vs FOX interview, Jan 26 2011] +
Here's a blurb from Jangbi-Grape interview:

Q 마지막으로 한마디.
A 허영무=오늘 병구형이 경기장에 안 와서 욕을 많이 듣고 있다더라. 그런데 병구형이 스타리그 결승전을 연습하느라 안 온 게 아니라, 감독님이 전략적으로 빼놓고 오신 것이다. 최근 병구형만 계속 이기고 주전들이 자꾸 지니까 우리를 정신차리게 하기 위해서 한 일이다. 주전들을 정신차리게 하려는 감독님의 전략이지 병구형의 편의를 봐주느라 그런 것은 아니다. 많이 사람들이 미워하지 않았으면 좋겠다. 병구형도 숙소에서 연습하기보다는 TV를 보면서 응원하고 있었을 것이다.

Q: Last words?
A: Jangbi = Stork didn't show up for today's match with our team, and he's taking a lot of harsh words and criticism right now. Let me make it clear, his absense is not because he's practising for OSL; he's not here because it's Coach January's decision. Because Stork's been single-handedly carrying the team lately, Coach wanted to send us a strong message this way. It's not that Coach wants to favour Stork excessively or something. I hope people don't misunderstand and hate him for this. I'm pretty sure he was watching TV and cheering for us instead of practising.

Source: http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=39258

Sure, people, speculate all you want. Jangbi and Grape trying to "shield" Stork? Perhaps, but interviews from teammates are hell lot more credible than anything here I've seen so far.

Definitely jangbi and grape defending stork. January said this before the game

삼성전자의 김가을 감독은 “송병구 선수의 개인리그 일정이 너무 많아서 팀 차원에서 배려를 해줬다”며 “현재 송병구 선수는 숙소에서 개인리그 연습 중”이라고 말했다.

basically the team allowed Stork to not show up as a favor. (배려 is so hard to translate so i'll just use something close enough)

This seems like pretty typical Stork. This isn't the first time his mouth has gotten him a lot of haters. At the same time it's gotten him a lot of fans. I started watching BW around the time Gom started up their league and I've been a big Stork fan since. Him and Firebathero don't seem to care if they look bad for the sake of a little shit talking. Being polarizing without being obnoxious makes for good personalities in any sport. And I don't find Stork obnoxious. To each their own I suppose.

Stork's quote also says 'after seeing the player who is considered the best' - seems like he's referring pretty specifically to the number one player spot (still Flash), not players in general.

Yes he referred to Flash in that particular instance and actually this is not first time Stork does this (skip Proleague) when facing multiple league challenge so it is even more funnier

whats with all the haters coming out suddenly?

stork was wrong to have said that but he was disappointed at that time that he could not play flash. KT was powerless without him and did not seem to take Samsung KHAN seriously.

seems to me like a bunch of haters here and in Korea are afraid of Stork and want to break him down with criticism before the finals.

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

Show nested quote +
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.

People are making a big deal out very little. Yes he's being hypocritical but that's just how life works. Sometimes, you have to step on your own words to go for something really important to you. Most of those offended are probably just now realising that he's a human being, not a saint. I'm sure all of us here have done similar things in the past and not out of malice or ill intent. It's just one of those things in life that we can't avoid. Move on people.

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

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=123828
this is the original date
in fact flash had 2 bo5s in 2 days, so thats a potential 10 games in 2 days
nice try though!


10-05-05 khan played kt, he played on the 7th vs pure and on 13th vs free or something, the gap is bigger, see what im sayin? -.- wont discuss this furder anyway

huh? he had bo5s on the 6th and the 7th.

So, wait.

Flash skips Proleague to practice for Bo5s against MVP and Pure.

Stork skips Winner's League to practice for Bo5s against Fantasy and Zero.

Yeah, those are comparable occurrences.

Furthermore, did Stork actually not show up to Proleague during Incruit/Clubday, or was he merely not slotted for games?
My strategy is to fork people.

He didn't know he was going to do the same thing. He can't see the future. At the time, it was how he felt. Later, in another situation, he felt differently.

Stork has the opportunity to become the greatest protoss player ever if he wins both MSL and OSL. He would be a moron not to skip PL to practice MSL since January allowed him to.

Yeah but how was he to know last year that he would be in this situation right now? Of course that is why you need to be extra careful with what you say in life but what's done is done. It's more likely that he spoke out of frustration and disappointment (of his own individual league results) rather than genuine moral/ethical outrage back then.

I can understand why some people are offended but they need to realise that it's an imperfect world and we humans are imperfect creatures. Maybe try looking at yourselves before taking the moral high ground so quickly.

I don't think there is much more to discuss about this tbh, it'll probably end up in more flames.
this OP and opticalshot's both give different and arguable views (stork hypocrite vs. fighting the one-man team image) but i bet there are a lot more flames to be found in this thread lol.

I don't understand why it's a self-serving attitude, though. Ironic that people are getting on Stork's ass for being hypocritical when everyone criticising him either is being hypocritical or will one day look back at realise they were being hypocritical.

Hm, you can't really compare the two situation...
yes everyone is a hypocritic once in their life.... but not on the same scale as Stork (scale as in media exposure etc etc...)

About the issue, I believe Stork was just mad back then when he made that comment- he did not think it through nor could he imagine he would be in the same position in the future. Imagine practicing hours after hrs to play against one guy that did not even show up.

But yes, in my book, he is a hypocritic.

They wouldn't dare to lie about the coach part, if they said "coach decided to let Stork remain home" then it must be it.

I will lie for my friend but I won't go "the teacher decided that he must skip the class" unless it's what happened.

Stork hasn't done anything bad.

That's not really the point, but you should keep things in context.

As long Khan win their games, I don't care if he keep skipping PL games. Well, maybe he shouldn't called flash in the first place but I guess he never considered he will be in the same situation as flash.

I don't see how this is thread worthy. If it was a lie that actually made a huge difference in a practical sense, then maybe.

Stork better 3-0 Zero tomorrow night, otherwise I'm gonna start up my very own GOTCHA Stork=Hypocrite thread. Just check out this outrageous quote from his interview after the OSL semis:

"After last night's loss, I believe I'll 3-0 him the next time we meet."

I've certainly never acted hypocritically in my life, so I beleive I'd have the right to call him out on this.

Skipping PL is fine, but he shouldn't have called Flash out in the first place if he was gonna do the same thing.


He didn't know he was going to do the same thing. He can't see the future. At the time, it was how he felt. Later, in another situation, he felt differently.

Exactly! He didn't know anything about it, yet he had to call Flash out on it.
He shouldn't have done that.

Either way, it was a stupid thing to say. But it's not the end of the world, I hope he knows not to say these things in the future.

Thats why you should be careful in what you say to others in a interview . If you bash someone for a mistake or decision that he makes make sure you don't make the same mistake or decision as him it will just make you look bad . Frankly the shit he is geting is probably somewhat deserved after what he said to Flash who was working his ass of last season to keep up the results he was making . I have no sympathy for Stork right now . I don't hate him or anything for this , but at least now he should know a little in what situation Flash was last season before he makes a statement .

Also Flash even apologized to Stork or his fans ( don't know why he had to apologize ) , after he read Stork's interview , lets see if Stork is going to do the same .


Quoted from the other thread it gives my thoughts on the matter .

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.

Back when my schedule was full, I prepared and play for both my individual and proleague games.


I think people infer it from this line. In my understanding and i think a lot of others, Stork is saying that even when his schedule was/is full, he is going to play for both. Of course it can be January's decision but its entirely plausible that Stork has not been fully focussed on preparing for his PL matches so that the best decision is to rest him. Of course the coach and teammates are going to cover for him to protect Stork and the team morale. But i can see why people are calling him hypocrites.

I can also see that from his interview a year ago that he express more dissapointment for the fact that he didn't have the opportunity to have a showdown with Flash rather than Flash skipping out on Proleague.

Stork shouldn't have called Flash and say that he would never ever do it. Still it is Stork and he has the right to do it. Flash dodged Stork who practiced for match against him and wanted to prove he can be beaten during time he was dominating and he lost the chance due to Flash skipping the match. I know it is stupid to say i would never do it and do it year later, but i really thing there is more at stake atm than Flash's fanboys vs Stork's fans. People make mistakes, learn to live with that fact. Also Khan won without Stork so not a big deal. If they lost, would be different story i guess...

Stork probably said those stupid things because he was dissapointed that he didn't get to face Flash after he prepared so well against him while Flash was busy preparing for OSL and MSL BoX series.

If you wanna prove that you can beat Flash atleast do it when Flash also prepares to beat you hehe

well, i don't see a reason for him to lie about it

Shield from what? 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? I think that he knew how many fans go for games just for SBG and he wanted to enlight them, that it wasn't their idol own decision to skip the game.
For Khan it's great they won without Stork in lineup.
And for Stork it's great that he could rest a bit and not show his latest PvZ ideas by playing 2-3 games with Zerg heavy team just a day before much more important rematch vs Zero.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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

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.
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 :)

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?

Unfortunately. Now since people have the time to sit and bash on Stork, read this thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=187811 by OpticalShot which "provide[s] a more comprehensive picture" of why Stork probably didn't show up.

it seems like stork suddenly soaked up all the FBH hate now that FBH is basically irrelevant (especially with savior gone).

Oh no Stork reached a single final which he had an easy route through and has to play the mighty FANTASY! in it. Better stop proleague play for sure.

January should actually discipline or something and make him play. He's easily favoured in the finals anyway, good maps, good matchup.

From January's interview (In the stork/fantasy pre-OSL hype thread):

Skipping PL today wasn't Stork's idea, it was my choice.

Tada! Case closed.

I also still love Stork and I'm totally fine with him skipping PL today, but I do think he owes Flash an apology.

so i didnt even needed to read the last 3 pages to know already this has become a flash fans vs stork fans thread

the fact is both january and his teammates already said it was january's choice to let him out of the PL game, even if you think that is a cover up by the team, its only an assumption you are making, and the words of the people directly involved have MUCH more value than your assumptions

Have you read any of the interviews?

But I'm sure you'll just go ahead and claim the entire team is lying, because you secretly monitor Stork's dreams and know better than to trust.. every single applicable authority regarding the situation.

Right because we should take what people said on interview 100% truthfully. Learn to have your own opinion. Maybe he read it and thinks they are covering up for Stork.

And an interview from a teammate matters? Did you think that they would say things differently? Do you think that person will live peacefully in the same house as everyone else? We don't know they lie or not but that doesn't mean they told the truth of the situation.

Even if you read the interview, form an opinion of your own and not just follow their words.

contrary to what some of you guys might think, im pretty sure if Stork had really wanted to play in the match, he wouldve forced January's hand.. As it stands Stork is no better than Flash was when Stork called him out...

I like how Flash fans are now talking about how interview answers are worthless... when this entire freaking thread is based on a premise that we believe 100% the answers in an interview.

So which is it, Flash fans? Should you believe interviews or not? If you believe them, then you'd believe that Stork has good reason to miss out on the game. If you don't believe them, the source of your rage is based upon nothing...

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


Not to mention a notorious map whiner. I don't see whats to like about him other than finally having a Protoss win something. Even if he does win it, it'll still be played down like Calm's MSL victory. Sometimes you get lucky with the brackets and avoid Flash, Jaedong, ZerO, Bisu and Kal (the players i believe who would have the best chance against him and maybe even favoured in a Bo5. prehaps Hydra too now.).

Should we believe more in your assumptions rather than base our opinion on what has been said by his coach and teammates who are as close to the matter as you will never be? Wouldn't that leave us not having an opinion of our own basically? So, you're saying interviews should be treated as bull now and random posts on TL should be viewed as the gospel truth. Very nice. *applause*


It would be bad management and the height of folly indeed to send out in Proleague a player who has dual league matches, when it's your responsibility to maximize his chances of winning. Good job, January.

And they could have bench him last week or so but why exactly on the day that he has 2 bo5 2 days after? They could have bench him even after the finals or something but there is only 1 reason(that I WILL THINK) to why he's been benched.

Is there anything in my post that led you to believe that I try to make people use MY opinion? I was just telling the guy that people can form an opinion of their own and not just believe in whatever was said in the interview. And I stated my opinion about the matter and that's AFTER reading the interview but did I try to make you guys believe it?

So who is a player worthy of being liked based on personality?

Only players on Woongjin. And FBH.

We like players for their gameplay, or sometimes their physical appearance rofl. Some people just bandwagon whoever's winning at the moment (or pick someone who is winning and attach themselves to that player forever). But true fans, they watch the games and identify reasons to like a player based on their games. Stork is the gutsiest PvTer, pushing in with goons against tanks where angels fear to tread. Or maybe you're a fan of Jangbi storms. Or of Great's late game ZvZ. Not to only use KHAN examples, maybe you enjoy Fantasy's mech wackiness, Baby's supreme multitask, Calm's hilarious fails, Flash's perfect cheese defence...

Whatever it is, it's gameplay that should be motivating who you like as a player. Personality is a great reason to like players, I agree, but 85% of progamers show none. Stork is a bit of a whiner, I agree, though only relative to the other programers who simply say nothing. Some people say they're his fan because of his interviews actually saying something, but to be honest he doesn't seem to often have good things to say :p

None of the other super-popular players have anything good to say, either, though.

Look how many fans fucking Saviour had... no, still has, and he was a straight-up dick. He always looked like an ass to me, too.

I don't know about you but to us, it does matter. Rather than form our opinion based on hearsay and assumptive thinking, we resort to what we read in interviews. What I don't understand is what business of yours other people's opinion is anyway. Aren't we entitled to our own opinions?

He should be practicing for OSL instead cause his ass is getting stomped by fantasy XD
Actually though this seems pretty stupid.. your team is the reason you have a progaming license, your team is the one that supports, houses, and pays you to play, your team should always be the first priority. I can't imagine why he would do that.. since i like stork im hoping his team told him to do this because if he decided it himself thats pretty low.
