Samsung Stork Playing Coach "Didn't Think I Could Defeat Innovation"
http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2016020523474530358
Nam Yun Seong

Stork, Samsung Galaxy Khan's playing coach, has caused a huge upset by defeating SKT1's ace Terran Innovation. Stork has been a progamer for 12 years and is now teaching his juniors as a playing coach. However, this time, he was the one being coached by Hurricane as he caused one of the biggest upsets of starcraft 2 through the carefully planned out builds and late game concentration.

In his interview, Stork said "I didn't believe for a second that I could actually beat Innovation" and added "I opted for the midgame during the first 2 sets, and it actually worked out well. Hurricane came in from time to time and advised me what to do, and with his help I could go big."

Stork revealed that as a playing coach, he had a hard time finding time to practice. "I also had low hopes after the adept was patched, but our team's 3 Terran players really helped me get the practice I needed."

Q. How do you feel about beating Innovation and making the return to Code S?
A. My mind went blank. I never thought I had a chance of winning. I had hopes during the first two sets, but I lost the next two, and I had flashbacks of Jaedong. Hurricane came into my booth and told me how to win, which is why I am here now.

Q. What was the most helpful advice?
A. Innovation is one of the guys that you think is impossible to beat in the late game scenarios. Hurricane came in after each set, and every syllable of his words was like gospel. The adept patch came through before my game so I was in despair, but our Terrans helped me out in so many ways.

Q. Why did you build Colossi in game 5?
A. After the 4th set, Hurricane told me to go Tempests, but if I wasn't sure of my micro, go Colossi. I used Colossi for a long time during HOTS so I thought it was a better choice for me.

Q. What was your initial goal?
A. I really didn't think of advancing. I tried my best to win a set off of Innovation, but I'm glad I actually won the entire thing.

Q. Anything for fans and teammates?
There are still so many fans out there cheering for me. I'm still trying hard and teaching my juniors as well. Thank you guys so much!

Stork's upset is also known as the "Revolution of 205", Compared to YellOw's incredible win vs Bisu back in 2009. Also helps that 205, read two zero five in Korean, sounds similar to Lee Young Ho, or Flash. another old gamer who is part of the 택뱅리쌍.

Stork is such a nice and humble guy. I enjoyed his series vs Inno. It was a demonstration of high level Protoss play. Congrats on Code S.

If I wasn't sure of my micro, go Colossi.

Sounds about right

It's kinda ironically that Stork as a coach is in Code S and Hurricane as a player is not
