Jinro what do you like about korea so much that you would want to stay there even if you were not playing Sc2?

I am just asking out of curiousity. Also do you feel that being in Korea has taken away some of your confidence as a player(being around much fiercer competition) or not really? I really hope you do stay in korea and eventually win a GSL both you and huk. That would be the best!

He likes whoring with rek ofc <3

jinro, dont give up. you're the only person who plays terran who isnt a fag

you got unlucky in your group and up/downs having to go up against such strong players, no doubt you will be back in code s in no time

Hey everybody. I actually registered just to post here. Just wanted to lend my support to Jinro and I'm very happy that he won't be leaving Korea. There are too few foreigners in and I'd hate to see it become a Korean-only tournament.

While I am disappointed to see Jinro go down to Code A, as I'm sure we all are, we have to keep in mind that top players get knocked into Up & Down matches all the time, and one off day has huge consequences. It's just a result of the random seeding of the groups. As far as I've seen, Jinro has had bad luck recently in the group seeding in general. There are several top players in Code A right now, and several more stuck at the bottom trying to claw their way into Code A. So this singular fact does not reflect badly on Jinro.

You were fierce in earlier tournaments and I believe you can get there again, Jinro! I don't think we'll see stabilization of the field of competition for a bit yet, plus there's the fact that GSL can have the "group of death" where every single person there deserves to move on, but two cannot. Sad but true.

Even though I play Zerg myself, I openly root for the Gorilla Terran. Go Jinro!

Oh, and sign me up, please!

I dont think I played well (I think the first game vs Zenio wasnt too badly played aside from not starting +2 weapon, but that was a mistake because I thought I had started it but must have had too little money when I did).

I am disappointed of course.

Not gonna read the thread but the first game, my reaper died because I was fighting with the retarded SCV ai to get them to not block eachother from building the bunker, so my reaper could jump inbetween them and be safe from any melee unit --;

IE if an scv walks over an area where another scv is about to build, he will forcibly move backwards... now if you have 2 scvs sent to build stuff right next to eachother this can get really annoying, which it did.

Im disappointed I didnt get to play Crevasse as I lost something like 2 games total in practice on that map and going in I thought if I could win 1 of the first 2 games I would for sure stay Code S.....

yeah I saw that as it happened.... The second SCV got in the way of the first one so they both stopped and by the time the second one moved it was a little too late... I was like yelling at my computer telling the SCV to move lol

Code A and Code S are starting to look very similar atm, its a fine line between the two imo. Im sure you will blow through code A though and be back where you belong soon enough... GL next season

Win or loss, I will watch every single game Jinro plays. He's done some amazing things, but his manner towards other players is what puts him on the same level as boxer in my eyes.

The level of sportsmanship we see in him is what we really need to elevate E-sports outside of korea from "angry basement nerds" to being a true, competitive, socially accepted profession.

Always excited to watch you play. I really enjoyed your San game. Give us a good showing in the super tournament then get your ass where it belongs back into code S!

Hwaiting!

Agree 100%. I can't comment on IdrAs skill in the game, nor his opinions about since I feel I don't have a pro gamers perspective...but just as I can claim that Jinro is a super mannered and nice guy, I can claim that IdrA is a guy who severely lacks manner and style.

This is no hate attempt, just a reason to root for Jinro, despite him not currently producing as good results as before.

I'm not saying his TvZ is weak, but most of his TvZ victories in Korea were against IdrA (beating 1 player repeatedly doesn't represent skill in the entire MU, but rather against a certain player) lol. And then he lost to MorroW in the TSL, and now Zenio, so I think that's where it's coming from.

GL Jinro, hope to see you back to your old form soon!
