After this thread I figured a small status update would be good!
After coming home from Europe at the end of June I had my Code A games pretty much the next day (well, 2 days after, one of which I spent falling asleep 3 times in my chair before surrendering to a few hours in bed), and then second round Code A just 2 days after that...
Following that I managed to get in some decent practice, I played my GeForce games (finished them yesterday, if I advance is out of my hands - depends on the last results), but the last couple of weeks I havent been able to practice much.
Turns out the working Visa Im here under is actually single entry, so when I go to MLG I m gonna have to re-new it. I've spent a lot of time (and a bunch of 6 AM phone calls to the Korean embassy in LA) trying to figure out ways to avoid having to renew it, or at least ensure that I could in such a short time frame.... And as if that wasnt enough I had to go through mostly the same procedure with the Chinese embassy in LA, tho thankfully all I will need for China is a tourist visa.
Couple this with some serious trouble sleeping (somebody here on TL pm:ed me a bunch of very helpful stuff but I havent been able to go through it yet because Ive been too busy, I m going to look into it when I return) due to the erratic hours caused by all this, as well as some other issues that took up a lot of time to figure out, my shape is not as good as it could be, but Im at least enjoying the game when I do play and look forward to next month being less insane.
What games I have played this month have mostly been on my not-so-secret smurf, JediMindTricks (written in Korean because JediMindTricks is one character too long in english TT)
http://sc2ranks.com/kr/2720207/제디마인드트릭
Not all games on this account were mine tho, or I think my shape would be better (as it would mean I had played about 1200 ladder games this season when combined with my other account, unfortunately its not quite that many). Still I ve been getting matched against good (i.e really top tier) players a lot more consistently now than a month ago, which is a nice sign that Im slowly doing better again.
My goals for Anaheim arent very high to be honest; I think that for this event, just making it far enough that I acquire a decent amount of ranking points will be enough to make me happy - even that will be hard with the many high class Koreans (and non-koreans) in the open bracket. For the next MLG I hope to be in the kind of shape needed to be a true contender.
A lot of people have PM:ed me about streaming, so here's the deal with that: I m leaving for MLG in Anaheim tomorrow, after which I will be going to China for just under a week, and then back to Korea in time for Code A.
This means I wont be able to stream until Somewhere in the middle of August, but when I do I plan on making it a daily thing, and put in a pretty serious volume. Especially with the new maps, laddering should be quite fun, and I ll try to get some customs in on KR, China and maybe even the US (I dont really care about the lag on there anymore, Im pretty used to it).
A few days ago, I woke Supernova up at 8 AM, to warn him of the banelings falling down from the ceiling. Only they were not present when I looked again to tell him just why he needed to get away.... Interesting stuff. Anyway, the need to share this incident got me to actually use my twitter :D!
Jinro Twitter
I will probably be using this to announce daily streaming schedule once I get going, Im not a really big twitter person but it seems super useful in that regard.
I dont know how often I'll blog like this but I felt like updating on some stuff thats been going on was prudent. I appreciate everyone who still supports me even after I havent been doing good for a decent amount of time now, and I hope I can repay that support with results in the following 6 months.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, and I gotta give a shoutout to HawaiianPig for my awesome new Frozen (Stasised) arbiter icon!
For those who dont know, my ID when I joined this site back in 2002, was FrozenArbiter. And for those of you who dont know wtf an arbiter is, it was basically a 10x more awesome version of the mothership, and one of the most fun units in SC1 
Low supply, pretty fast, shit in combat but able to recall and cloak friendlies, and freeze enemies... Such a fun unit  Reminds me of this game I played way back...

I think you need to use a pretty old patch tho >.<

I don't know if you're joking or not, but just in case : It's a FrozenArbiter.
@Jinro : which tournament are you playing in China ?

I'm either being horribly fooled by an inside joke, or I'm being helpful:
I think that's an arbiter being caught in a stasis field.

Jinro on Twitter, yay
Nice icon too

Pumped for your stream <3 GL at MLG.

You could just go with JediMindTrix, which is not too long. And I would probably write that like this (mizU's student here):
제다이마인드트릭스 (Je Da Ee Ma Een Deu Teu Reeg Seu) (I don't know if that's too long or not)
And yay for that stasis'd arbiter icon!!!
And good luck at MLG/Next Code A and I hope you don't face DRG until it's too late (like finals or something like that).
|
Thanks for the writeup, happy to know your game is getting better, hopefully all will click again when you're done with your administrative / trip stuff.
Good luck Jinro !!

I was wondering where Jinro was and then I saw this in the sidebar. The precise question on my mind was answered! Thank you Mr. Walsh.
Your heroism knows no human bounds; hwaiting!

Hey Jinro. Thank you so much for writing this. Stay awesome.

I miss Jinro's stream, he played some awesome European hip-hop.

I thought I was going to be looking for small Jinros in historical photographs :/

To clarify for all you people who did not play a lot of BroodWar. One of the tier 3.5 Protoss units was the arbiter whose 2 abilites were:
1.) stasis field and
2.) recall.
While under the effect of stasis field units are often referred to as being "frozen." In fact the chinese translation of stasis field literally means "ice freeze."
Now one hilarious thing that an arbiter can have stasis field casted on itself. Thus the arbiter would be frozen.
Also for you TL noobies, Jinro was once known as FrozenArbiter.
edit: grammar.
|
:O! You have twitter now aye? Perhaps a tiny push for me to get my own twitter... Been meaning to follow quite a few gamers.
|
BTW. What is this "the twitter" I keep hearing about? Is it a new cell phone plan with free text messages or something?
|
Good luck Jinro! You're my favorite player and I hope you do well in your future tournaments. I hope you can get alot of practice traveling so much in the next few weeks. I know when you're fully prepared, you're a beast of a player.
|
I thought this was going to turn into a Where's Wally? themed game where Jinro was stood in a crowd somewhere. D;
So naturally I was disappointed
Then I was happy because Jinro is awesome. Best of luck practising!
|
hope you improve to your high standard soon Jinro, nice to see your working on getting your mojo back!!
Hope you do well in the open bracket eve though it will be hard!!!
|
HAI 2 U
This + the TLO speaks thing in the same day, good to know TL is still alive and well

OMG
Banelings in the ceiling is for sure a fearsome thing. Not only they can burrow, they can fly now!

That was how I was going to write it, but then I ran it through google to double check my Korean and it kept claiming 트릭 was better than 트릭스 haha
It complained about 제다이 too :/ I duno. This was like 4-5 am and nobody was awake so I just said fuck it > <

Sucks to hear about your sleep troubles, I can sympathize, I need to drug myself up most nights to get proper sleep.

no. the ironic thing is that arbiters cant stasis themselves but can stasis other arbiters

I apologize for my poor grammar in the omission of the word "and." I thought the passive voice of the Arbiter receiving the stasis was sufficient to express the idea that you would not command an Arbiter to stasis itself but rather command a different arbiter to stasis another arbiter of its own unit type. That, of course, is the proper way to win a PvT.

Wow, I seriously didn't know that Jinro is the same guy as FrozenArbiter....
Mind blown...

I'm lucky I rarely remember my dreams, the ones I do recall are totally freaky and make no sense whatsoever.
Except for the sexual ones of course.

So you're not actually meditating on top of a mountain in Korea? 
Best of luck at MLG, will be rooting for you!

GL Jinro, I hope you reach you former glory. You were really fun to watch in code S.

Jinro fighting! My favorite terran by far.

Where in China are you going? Sounds like you will be there right as PL finals happens, in which case you should go if time allows!

For me, google translates both "제다이마인드트릭" and "제다이마인드트릭스" the same (Jedi Mind Tricks). And it translates "제다이" as "Jedi" too. My mind is blown right now.

I love you Jinro, keep on moving man! Thanks for letting us know the status update.
|
Jedi Mind Tricks is a great group. >>
not sure if that's the name's origination. :p Take your time, we're all cheering for you still :D

Just beware of the banelings, it must be a sign.
Good luck in Anaheim and future events!
P.S. Shouldn't you stay in kr more to prepare for your code A games instead of heading to China?
|
Awesome!
Dude my mind was so fucked when someone told me they were white guys...they do not sound like white guys at all. Some serious Jedi Mind Tricks right there...
Servants in Heaven is a great album, Razorblade Salvation is a good one on that album too. I kinda like Heavenly Divine though, sounds way more old school styled. Haha.

If you're in China when the PL Finals are held, you should definitely watch! We need someone to shout-out for Team Liquid :p
|
Jinro Fighting!! See you at MLG!!
|
): I love your accent and your english, I read your entire blog with your voice in my head lolololol
You should do readings on cassettes~
Anyways, good to hear from you, best of luck at MLG!

Oooo, sorry about the busy-ness. Hope it gets better! JINRO HWAITING!
