Baah, I guess I went a complete dick-head mode with my wall-of-text.. Hope I didn't get too much like that though

I guess it's true that indeed SC2 is better than it's ever been then.. Hopefully

There you go, Internet at its best. Even if he did read what you wrote it does not matter. People read what they want to read and ignore everything that is not working in their favour. Well it was not always like this and I lovely call this people generation L*L

Thank for your Blog Jinro and gl with your career. I ofc highly disagree on your view on poker. All the skill does not matter if the other has just luck and you not. And its kind of sad to see that gambling is a major income for you. I hope you can change it. And to MMA well

Variance is why poker is profitable, and as long as you exercise proper bankroll management your risk of ruin is negligible.
You might lose a bunch of 90/10 spots but as much as those will suck, they wont break you.

Although I would rather talk about sc2

Well sorry I can't really talk with you about Starcraft 2 because I lost all my interest and love for Blizzard and their games. I will just purchase the last SC2 DLC when its on sale 80% off or something along the line.

Nah nothing wrong with it, but it is a very long post :D Don't agree with some of it, but definitely dont think it's 'full dick-head mode'.

Completely agree with you Jinro, I stopped watching WoL in mid 2012 as well but recently I tuned back into some tournament streams and it's honestly very cool to watch although I'm not even familiar with all the things they introduced with Hots.

Another question regarding poker: I expected you to play onlinepoker but since you said that you got pokerdowntime from the brused ribs, as well, I assume you're playing Live poker and taking all that money from the korena fellas?^^

That was a very nice, perspective altering post. Thanks for writing it Jinro.

P.S. I miss you in the scene. Maybe stream for fun now and again? Even HayprO streams HS now.

Nah, online, I just dont like playing poker when I can't exercise (that's how I deal with stress) so I just studied instead. Plus I picked up a nasty cold a few days after.

I'm so glad you posted this, Jinro.
The game is being shat and we're having such amazing games, such amazing tournaments.
I've just finished watching Jaedong vs Hero. I've never, EVER bitten my nails as hard as with that game.
Hell, I might even go back laddering later. SC2 is such a wonderful game, it's sad that part of the community is shitting on it for whatever reason.
Look at what's going on right now. Look at the insane games at IEM. Look at the 80k viewers on the stream.

Thank you for posting this, Jonathan... It redelivers a bit of faith in the scene and the game.
