So obviously my heart sank when Jinro got wrecked. Big fan and really sad to see him go down. That last tank push was as manly as can be. Really was proud of how he went down. He played his hardest and couldn't do it, but that's okay. He'll get 'em next time. If he managed to get good enough to make Ro4 twice, I trust he'll be good enough to win it.

But what really hit me was after he lost he gg'ed out and typed "good luck vs mvp".

It doesn't matter if MarineKingPrime could understand it or not. Just imagine how GM you have to be to be able to wish your opponent good luck immediately after you lost... that's man. Pushing with tanks is manly, yes. But you have to be a real man to wish your opponent good luck after losing on that big a stage with that many people watching.

There's a reason why Jinro's got this many fans, Korean and foreign. He deserves it.

Is that really what he did (I couldn't watch)?

I'm updating my quote right now, I'm a Jinro fan!

Agreed. Our man Jinro is among the best that the sc2 scene has to offer in every aspect of the word.

You Jinro people are starting to look like a cult

Saying "gg, gl for the rest of the tournament" is far from uncommon... plus Jinro knows that MKP will need luck against MVP. Also what does Jinro know about manner, seems to me like walking in MC's booth while he was facepalming was BM as hell. When I lose to a lesser player, the last thing I want is for that guy to come poke me in the back.

Man, when he tapped out, It was at the climax of the final, one good punch on the face of Foxer, before Jinro collapsed onto the mat.

It hurts to say it, but the dream is over for another season, I guess we should all be glad that the dream lasted this long.

Saying GG GL at the end of a BoX play is always really tough.

MC and Jinro are good friends. I daresay he knows what's appropriate to do in that situation. When MC 4-0'ed him a season earlier, they hugged.

Yeah, reminds me of Mondragon's "gg, well played, and congratulations!" after TSL2. Being that manner after losing such a tough series takes balls.

"Good friends" may be an exaggeration I'd think and at least wait for the guy to stop facepalming

Jinro is S class no doubt. Unfortunately he just assumed too much this match. If he had scouted a little better he could have had greater chances. All the best. Go Jinro!

I always find this second-guessing of what is good or bad mannered from afar kind of strange. There's no doubt that Jinro had good intentions in that situation, so why stretch so much to put your own lens over the situation.

Edit: and to stay on theme, also really impressed by Jinro's play and conduct, he was playing from behind a lot of the time, but kept his head and gave us some good games.

WTF are you talking about?

No one has EVER said to their opponent, "gl in the next round" after losing. It is incredibly rare, so much so that it has never happened in the GSL before. Jinro is easily the best mannered player on the scene right now. Also, as for him going to MC's booth, clearly you know nothing about empathy. Clearly, you also don't understand their friendship, so you probably shouldn't be making baseless comments like that.

I admire Jinro. He played very well and put up a great fight against a good opponent.

I just wish he could have scouted better

You're mistaken if you don't think Jinro and MC are good friends.

I have a newfound respect in jinro.

What a gentleman. Reminds me of how Slayers_Boxer shakes the other guy's hand even when he loses.
