I want to show everyone some revolutionary TvP builds. It may be impossible to find a weakness to Stork's PvT, but I feel that him playing standard is in of itself a weakness. Aka cheese. I kept on winning silvers, but then I met Fantasy and I won a gold. So he's my lucky charm. lolol please win stork. | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgnews.naver.com/image/236/2011/01/26/1296038842_1.jpg) Thoughts on this year's final at Gwangju? ▲ Actually, this time around, I've relegated OSL final prep to the assistant coaches, while I focus mostly on PL. This time, the finals are at Gwangju, and it's Fantasy's third final, so we must have him win. Within the team, we have to give him additional support. The venue is going to be Yeomju Gymnasium in Gwangju; we've played matches there before. This place is very well suited to Fantasy getting his first championship. Also, whether Fantasy wins or loses, I'll still consider sending him up for Proleague. From the standpoint of a head coach, how do you evaluate Stork? ▲ First off, he's a very different player than our Bisu or Best. Stork is very experienced and works very hard; we felt he was this type of player last time Fantasy played him in a final. Stork's great at shutting down all of his opponent's prepared strategies, it's really incredible. On top of that, the maps favor him this time, so he won't have so much of an uphill struggle. But we'll be working hard to find winning methods, so that Stork won't be able to top Fantasy. And a quick evaluation of Fantasy? ▲ Out of our team's players, Fantasy is the most remarkable. He's very hardworking, and with the sheer force of his concentration he can slowly chip away at his weaknesses. When watching Fantasy, I always think, “Why does this kind of player not have a championship already?” This time, he'll definitely win. Lastly, a bit of your own thoughts? ▲ I think Fantasy's mech play is the strongest right now, especially in terms of TvP. I think Fantasy is the strongest. Though I don't know how good Stork's PvP or PvZ are, his PvT is as weak as before right now. Fantasy definitely has a chance to earn the gold. src: http://playsc.com/forum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=221605&extra=page=1 JANUARY Your birthplace is [T/N全罗道, somewhere in Gwangju?], thoughts on playing the final in Gwangju? ▲ I was born in Gwangju and I'm familiar with it, but that's about it. There's another boon, though: that day is my father's birthday. Originally, I would have had no time to see him, but with this new schedule, I can now visit home, which is great. How is preparation coming along? ▲ Stork is usually very eager for his matches. Even on rest days, he'll be working hard. Skipping PL today wasn't Stork's idea, it was my choice. Last time, when we lost, people said we were Songbyung KHAN. So this time, since I didn't want to hear any more of that, I let Stork stay back to rile up the rest of the team. It feels like we actually don't do enough for Stork, and I feel sorry about that. Even though we all want to help Stork, we don't really know how best to assist him. Two days after the final, you'll be facing off against SKT. ▲ I think that players like Stork who don't mind map or matchup are few and far between. So regular training goes very smoothly for him. I'm very confident in Stork. As long as his condition is good, when we play SKT two days after, there is a definite opportunity for Stork to play. A quick evaluation of Stork? ▲ Stork's kept up his strength for very long, especially in PvT, where Stork can be called the master of strategy and tactics. Fantasy is also a man of many tactics, but Stork practices more, so we won't give Fantasy a chance to out-strategize us. Our team's already done a solid job analyzing the maps and opponent, so as long as Stork doesn't choke, he'll win. src: http://playsc.com/forum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=221600&extra=page=1 | ||

Make a UMS of a typical lategame situation with one base behind and a push ready to go against a fulll toss army with arbiters, then repetitively play it against Bisu/Best until you win all the time. Or switch arbs for carriers and take away a base. Although i would like to see some early game heavy multitask dropping of Stork like Hiya did in that one game and like Flash Vs Best on Fortress (admittedly both times with map advantage). Seems like something he would try. | ||

In all seriousness what does he mean, just that Stork isn't any better than last time the two played or what? He can't seriously be implying Stork has mediocre PvT... | ||

I think Stork has shown time and time again that his decision making vs Terran is pretty damn lackluster compared to the top PvTers. It's by far his most questionable MU in terms of actual gameplay. | ||

Uh, I wouldn't question you there if you replaced "Stork" with "Bisu", but now I'm just really puzzled in how you can say that (if it's not sarcastic) | ||

I can't speak for other translators, so this is only based on my opinion. When translating between cultures, especially vastly different ones like the US and Korea, you must pick between translating literally, or what you believe would be the equivalent of the language being translated into. Specifically, trash-talking in western cultures that you just don't see in Asian countries. So take Stork's interview. Make no mistake about it. It was as cocky an interview as you'll likely ever get from a progamer. Stork's oozing with confidence. I mean, what do you expect a player's attitude to be when he believes he can 3-0 his opponent? No matter how "respectfully" you say it, you're still looking down on your opponent. So really, is there any difference between "I think I will defeat him 3-0" and "I'm going to pwn that noob"? Yes, I took liberties in the translation. But there's no changing of facts. It just feels more natural this way. Anyway, not saying whether my style would be correct or not. And I'm sorry you did not like it. But I do want to at least explain my thought process here. | ||

Best is incredibly talented at PvT as well but i think he is just really good at macro and can't play any other style while Stork is much more well rounded and crafty. | ||

Stork is God in PvT. | ||
