A: It means 'Stork.' [T/N: lolol] During middle school my English teacher was really tough, and would hit students if they didn't do a good job on their homework. So I was trying to memorize all the vocabulary words for this one unit, and found this word called 'stork right after 'storm.' It seemed like a pretty cool word with a pretty cool meaning, so I ended up using that as my ID.
can someone find me a dictionary where k comes after m?
Thanks for the crazy long translation. I laughed when Stork said he was worried about saying if he had a girlfriend but was fine with telling everyone his favorite underwear colour. In retrospect I guess it makes sense. Thanks again!
You went through a successful weight-reducing program. What was your maximum and minimum weight?"
Great, now there's going to be one more banner that bugs me on random sites... "Progamer Diet - Find out this amazing secret NOW - lose pounds while playing cell phone games"
A: I heard that SC2 is very popular overseas. There are many SC2 fans here but SCBW is still much much bigger here; the consensus is that SC2 is more popular overseas. I still believe that SCBW can grow even bigger overseas. I felt the international popularity of SCBW myself as a competitor in WCG and IEF in the past, and on a related note, I'm very disappointed that SPL Finals in Shanghai was cancelled.
When majority of fans no longer feel like watching SCBW, it'll be the right decision to switch to SC2. As long as there are fans who cheer for me playing SCBW, there is no reason to switch. If the fans stay, SCBW should be fine for another 10 to 20 years.
love stork's interview here. lol'd when he broke his glasses after shine, inspired by his love of the fans (including foreigners! BW STILL LIVES), and recognising that protoss is imba
@VOXSuperFly asks: What is [your] view on Starcraft2, do you think that you could ever switch?
A: It was a sensitive issue when SC2 first came out, but now that SC2 has settled in, I can open my views on it now. Just like any other sport, a game needs a strong fan base for it to exist as a form of professional sports. As long as there are fans, SCBW and SC2 will co-exist. Instead of declaring when I'll switch over right now, I'll keep my ears open to my fans and keep up with their opinions. If I decide to switch over in the future, I don't think I'll switch my race.

Absolutely every person on the internet in its entirety should read this. Thanks for the translation

A: In this game called Starcraft, you need to have a thorough understanding of everything - units, structures, spells, maps, etc. - to be a good player. You also need to know everything about other races than the one you play. You almost have to "feel" the build timings, unit attack range, and stuff like that. Add countless of hours of practice on top of that, and you're ready to take your play to the next level.
I originally started as a Terran player. It was IntoTheRainBOw that inspired me to switch to Protoss. Back when I was only beginning to experience high level play, I faced off against IntoTheRainbow and got absolutely demolished. I thought 'Protoss imba'. The positive thing is that instead of giving up my dream and thinking that I lacked the fundamental skills, I believed that I could become successful if I switched to Protoss. So I did, and here I am today.
I am going to highlight this for all the Protoss haters out there. Take a page out of Stork's book: if "protoss imba herp derp", just switch to Protoss. Problem solved. Lolol.

His latest look:
Stork has been appearing on a few MBC shows lately. He's really letting his entertainment side show. If only MBCGame could be saved. -_- The pictures are from a recent episode of User's Taste (유저의 취향 48회). I haven't watched it but Khan fans are saying Stork was hilarious.
