very interesting perspective on streamers.
I guess his opinion is that if they have retired as professional gamers, they should not have these "fan games" because those are for entertainment while the current progamers are working as a professional job that is for copmetitveness?

I'd love to know what the retired pros would have said about streamers BEFORE they retired...

I think no Kespa SC2 player will say anything positive about streamers...

Love the interview The TaekBangLeeSsang picture makes me feel a weird mixture of nostalgia, happiness, and sadness all at once.

A sad interview in a way. I wish he was on board with streaming. Maybe his mind will change once he retires.

Great interview, very interesting (and sad) to read. Thanks a lot for the translation.
SC1 was fun because every game was different, and it depended on your performance that game. On the contrary, in SC2 each game looks the same. Just turtle till 200 supply and fight. When in a disadvantage, if you could not harass your opponent, you would lose straight-on as well. Maybe that is why even if your favourite team lost, you did not think the opponents played particularly well.

I think I could not have said better. He just resumed why SC2 is far behind BW.

btw. Weird there was no mention of January, maybe the iview happened before. She must have been important to Stork as a figure. Taking him when he was only 13 yo and fostering him as a pilar of KHAN and Protoss race.

Can't believe I'm gonna say this ever, but I fucking hate Stork now. I have been a fans for so long, evenw watching his sc2 match. But the way he badmouthing afreeca/sospa scene break my heart.

It is very apparent that Stork is extremely jelly of BW streamers for enjoying themselves while making a living doing so. You can't expect people to stop playing BW if they "retire". That's imbecile on so many levels.

Something that is pretty sad is if Stork doesn't see anything else in Starcraft II than that.

That doesn't make sense because he can also simply retire and streams BW too. Given his name, he should gain a lot of viewers.

Q: Nowadays the players you meet in tournaments are all your juniors now, but you still fight. Even if it is not for the fans, you must be feeling different nowadays?
A: Yes. But recently a few players have become too disrespectful. In matches, even if you use barcode IDs you can still be recognized. But in a match, a player actually badmouthed me. Of course it does not feel good to get badmouthed. So I asked my teammates who he was, and they told me he was a rookie from a certain team. I was very mad so I demanded him to explain why he badmouthed me: “I am Stork, I am older, I am more experienced, don’t say I am cashing out on my seniority, at least have some respect whether it is offline or online”. But he dared to say, “So what?” I met him later, and talked about that incident again. He actually said that aren’t you very annoying, remembering about this all the time, so I got mad again. Young players have many disrespectful actions like this; it shocks me every time. At least I did not do it when I was young.
