Source: Daily eSports

How do you feel about grabbing your 200th victory? (I'm not sure if they're asking about his individual 200th victory, proleague 200th victory, or Protoss 200th victory.)

This was a record that was delayed several months because I lost the last match during round three. I feel disappointed that I wasn't able to grab this record for WoL. I was wondering as to whether or not I was going to be able to do well for HotS but I did well for the start of round four so I feel good

Were you feeling any pressure?

I wasn't feeling any pressure because the players we were going to go up against this week were really good (This sentence makes no sense to me to be honest). I was questioning whether or not I was going to be able to achieve the record for this week but in the end I was able to so I am glad.

Today's match showed just how OP Protoss can be.

I don't think anyone's really going to understand what's going on with balance regardless of what I say. But I've seen this before. What we think of now, becomes a realization in a couple of months. If the patch that I'm thinking of right now doesn't come to happen, then it's only a matter of time before Protoss becomes the worst race. We were given the tempest so that we could handle the brood lord/infestor/corruptor composition, but now Zergs are coming up with all new powerful compositions. It hasn't even been a month since the official release of HotS so I prepared for my game today in hopes that I could get this message across today.

Any game you specifically remember throughout your 200 victories?

I don't really have one. Mainly because I played so many games. I can't think of one.

How do you feel about the transition to HotS?

Since Protoss was all about defending during WoL, I feel like the transition to HotS is very reminiscent of Broo War. I feel like I'm going to be able to do well as I play the game. But right now Protoss as a race is not very good. We need a balance patch.

What kind of buff do you want?

Rather than a buff on units, I want mutalisks, swarm hosts, and medivacs to get a nerf.

You achieved the record for the 200th Protoss victory.

It was the very first 200th victory for Protoss so I was feeling greedy. I knew that I had to grab this achievement before Bisu since I heard that Bis was rocking it for HotS

This is your very first interview for this season.

I didn't get that many chances to do interviews even during hybrid season. In fact, my chances grew less and less. Ever since I transitioned to SC2, I haven't been able to get much attention from the world. From here on out, I want to gain a lot of recognition and get invited to overseas tournaments.

Anything else you would like to say?

Ever since the hybrid season, up until the third round of the new season, I just had no concept for the game. These days, I play more custom games than ladder games. I practiced with Zerg players and achieved the 200 victories. I want to thank those Zerg players I practiced with. I am going to work hard so that I can contribute to our team getting to the post season.

Thanks for translating. First time I heard a progamer complain about swarm hosts. Wonder how he decided they were too strong, 'cause I never see them in any pro games. :p

Stork to overseas tournaments? Yes please

There's been couple of times he's deserved an interview after playing nice games but just was unlucky and someone else got it instead. About time they talk to him Not sure what his problem with swarm hosts is haha

Who uses Swarm Hosts? I haven't seen many pro games lately, but I'm curious what Stork's seen to make him call for Swarm Host nerfs. Can someone point to a game that Swarm Hosts look OP?

You probably have not seen or played the swarm host styles that essentially accumulate swarm hosts up to 20+ with a nydus/queens/vipers and such.

Swarm host styles allow Zerg to play on equal base counts to Terran/Protoss because you're fighting with free units it's approx equivalent to having extra bases worth of resources

You will see this in the next few months as stork said during the interview.
