Confirmed: (T)Jinro quits SC2!


Major upset was caused in the online gaming world earlier today, when Swedish star player Jonathan Walsh, also known als (T)Jinro from the well known professional gaming team TLAF-TeamLiquid, announced his retirement from professional StarCraft 2 gaming. In a quickly scheduled press conference, the western top player stated that he grew tired of the game. Walsh said he wants to continue competing in different online games in order to continue to entertain his countless groupies. His new coup is a contract with NEXON and JCE, for which he will promote and play the online football game Freestyle Football.

"That's it, I'm done with this game. Esports in the western world isn't going anywhere, anyway. It's not like there are western tournaments with hundreds of thousands of Dollars on the way, so there is no point in trying to continue the effort of boosting online games in Europe or North America. Football, on the other hand is popular in every corner of the world. Deal with it, I'm Swedish." However, he did not rule out a comeback: "Maybe I'll come back in a few years, and then I will jinroll everyone just for the lulz."

The 'Gorilla Terran' does not feel that he is leaving a big hole in the SC2 community: "Min Chul is there to entertain you guys. And I think he is quite happy, because now that I am gone, there is no one that can really challenge him on his way to his next 10 consecutive GSL wins. Also, I sent Idra a voucher coupon for 6 hours of coaching with Actionjesuz, so he can learn how to 6pool me properly next time."
