Quick look at your posting history:

Why no WCS points from this? Is it because only the grand finals are offline? Would have been a great opportunity for Snute at least to get some more points.

Edit: Looks like by "grand finals" they actually mean the whole tournament other than the qualifiers so that's not the reason. So I'm confused--why isn't this a Tier 2 WCS event?


why give snute more chances to earn wcs points?

Not sure what your problem is exactly... Maybe focus a bit more on yourself instead of trying to tear down others for trying their best?

I definitely relate to your blog posts. I moved to vegas about 5 years ago and played poker until black friday. I never thought I could do math, but I started to get into game theory with poker which helped me realize that math is a cool way to solve some problems. I'm going back to school and majoring in math now.

Fighting is hard. Cutting weight sucks. I respect people who do mma, but performance enhancing drugs are so rampant that there's no way I would want to fight. It was medical costs that always prevented me from fighting before, but if I knew then what I knew now and I had free medical care for life, then I wouldn't fight for the head trauma and because everyone is on peds.

You can still improve training, but I also get people who want to fight at an organized event.

I love the blog, and good luck with everything!


Are PEDs that common in the amateur level? That sounds wild that people not getting paid to fight would go to extreme levels to win. I know a lot of pros use PEDs, but that's pretty sad if majority of the amateur fighters are doing it too.


They're even more common at the amateur level because there's no testing, and there's so much stuff out there that is cheap and that works well. I love mma and have the utmost respect for fighters. It's such a thankless what have you done lately sport.

Ignore the haters, jinro. I loved your post about the training regime in korea.

Not GM hehe, that's pretty hard on KR.

Probably (almost definitely) no fight this month. Not been feeling great (hurt my leg, then somewhat persistent cold etc).

Hey Jinro! Good to see that you are doing well!
Do you mind sharing what kind of post workout vitamins/food you eat after a regular cardio workouts?
By that token, what do you consider a regular cardio workout for MMA?

Jinro, what are your thoughts on playing while tired and not on your A game? Is it still important so you could work on your C game? I'm guessing you were mostly feeling pretty sharp for your second practice session because of this:

"At this time, after finishing ranking games I'd feel fucking excited: I'D GET TO PLAY LADDER GAMES OMG!! It was like getting off work (practice) and deciding that what you really want to do for fun is play more (practice more)."

So you never really felt tired during these second practice sessions and had to push through a lot of tough days where you felt tired?

At that time there was no sense of having to push through etc, just excited to be where I was and getting to play.

I dislike playing poker when I'm not sharp, because losing money sucks, but playing SC2... I think as long as you don't tilt you still get something out of practicing even if you arent playing your best (not as much but still some, because of the mechanical aspect).

Thanks, I find this stuff super interesting. I'm always interested in the most optimal use of time to get better at something. Especially from someone like mother@%^@ing jinro.

I just googled how long Olympic athletes train, and I was surprised to find out they only train six or less hours per day. Even Phelps with his hell practices:

"Phelps at one point trained every day for five years. He spent three to six hours in the pool each day and exercised on dry land four to five days a week" [1].

I've been thinking I need to do 6+ hour days to push myself on the weeks I have free to play, but I half-ass it during at least half that time. It'd be better if I played 2-3 hours and really pushed myself.

Great read, feels cool to get reconnected to my favorite SC2 player. :D
I haven't followed SC2 much in the last few years, but if Jinro came back, I'd tune in for sure!
Guess who`s special?!
