If Stork loses today it will put him at the longest losing streak of anyone for the season. I believe he's tied right now with Revival at 10 straight losses.
Hammer had too few medivacs. The major attack before (1st SCV pull), it was kinda risky because he could've gone in early (which he did) so his leftover bio couldn't finish. Had he waited, Jangbi might've had a larger army then. IMO, he should've just gotten a 4th and out-macro Jangbi. WP though.

What did he say?
They asked him which team he hated more SKT1 or Woongjin Stars (Khan is like 0-5 against them). Jangbi said something along the lines of: "I don't really hate any teams, I'm just a bit disappointed in HerO hahaaha"
He was asked which team he hated the most - wjs for being 5-0 against them or T1 for taking the last spot. He answered that he didn't want to hate on anyone but that he was disappointed with HerO for losing his game.
There are no guarantees with Stork anymore. He lost some of the worst PvT I've seen in a long time against Journey in the Code A qualifiers. move commanding stalkers into marines. missing tons of forcefields. it was depressing to watch

Just if he can't break his losing streak vs Organ he should
That seems pretty dickish. Losses happen.
Giving Piano his first win in a year to cap off an 11 game losing streak is definitely retirement material for a player with Stork's legacy. He's the reason they didn't make the playoffs and it's not like he's playing well in these losses. I'd be very surprised if he's not coaching/commentating next season.

He's not the reason. January is the reason. She's the one who kept fielding him. Blame the coach on this one. Maybe he needed the same treatment Bisu got until he was worthy of playing PL games. But like I said this comes down to poor coaching.

so what do you in that situation? cause fans obviously wanna see people like bisu/stork play regardless of how they're doing. these guys attract crowds to the dying game that is sc2. even though january shouldn't have sent out stork because he wasn't playing as well, i think it paid off because at least she gave fans something to cheer for.
Ahhh remember when people said RorO was boring and uninteresting? I just remember this. He was a pretty cute kid there lol. Funny enough it also includesd Hyun.

Well Bisu volunteerly sat out till he was ready and it seemed like the proper decision because he wasn't playing too great at the time. Perhaps Stork is actually doing pretty good in practice, and just having some bad games when televised? Dunno the full details.

nah even the first one is close to death first one just dies a lil slower then the second one etc.
Coaches in all sports often let their star players play themselves out of a slump. It shows confidence in their star player(s) and tells them the coaches appreciate what they have done in the past and believe they will be able to get out of the slump.
Do you bench Lebron James after he misses a few shots in a row or has 1 bad game? No, of course not.

I see your point, but Stork is hardly LeBron. He's more like Steve Nash, someone who's past their glory but might have a bit left in the tank given some time.
EDIT: By using this comparison, I mean he probably would benefit from a break, and he's hardly in-expendable at the present time.
EDIT 2: What are these flying things that look like sting rays?
It's funny how Woongjin is resting their starters.
I mean, it makes a kind of sense, pro football (American) teams do it too. Work the rookies and b-team out, get them some experience and exposure, rest your stars.

MVP did it the other day in GSTL. The only A teamer they used was Keen and then used Shine, Swagger, and Bang as the rest of their lineup

That's somewhat fortunate for Life, Kop is one of the weaker players who got through due to an easy bracket. Someone hard and we could see Life in Code B =\

Just a convenient and cheap way to scout. Aria had already seen another rax back at his main. Only a 150 min investment because it's not like he would have the production time with how far it would have to fly back. Might as well see if he can scout anything without using a scan.
I never saw if anyone stated it, but is there a reason they are doing a BoxeR video? They did one for TheMarine because he is getting married, right? I mean, I would understand if they were just doing it because it's BoxeR.

they've done other videos for people without a reason before as well.

Probably none. They have done like 10 montages overall this season, most just because why not.

They also made it for Bisu, January & Jaehoon. The only reason I could think of is telling old BW fans that these beloved figures are still involved in a new game called sc2

If im not wrong they did one for January too.
Someone said they did January's because she hit a win milestone as coach

They were probably like w/e and stopped practicing hardcore after SKT's win. If they actually did take this match seriously then they don't seem PO-worthy at all.
Happy that we won but it looks like Stork might go into retirement. Hopefully he (like JangBi) can bounce back though, but it looks like it's time for dinosaurs to go rest after a long career.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. With RorO slumping a little, Stork slumping really hard (almost unrecoverable at this point), Reality being 'just' mediocre A-team KESPA terran and everybody knowing Turn will just all-in/cheese every game, we have only JangBi consistently winning games. And one player cannot carry the whole team in SPL... They need to either step it up and/or get at least two good players until the next season -.-
