Can Jinro follow in his footsteps?
Jinro definitely seems to be widely respected among Koreans. He's one of the only Terrans who prefers to play macro games in all matchups, his overall play and gamesense are as good as anyone's, and he's a nice, chill dude who has actually made an effort to learn the language and make friends.
In general Koreans seem fairly supportive of foreigners (TLO had a lot of fans too) provided the foreigners are respectful in return. It's only guys like IdrA who BM like crazy and make no effort to learn Korean who they don't like.

Congrats Jinro, I admit doubting you before now I eat my own words!
|
Good job Jinro! I hope to see you make it to the finals.
|
Love these recaps. I missed the first few games so it's nice to be able to read about them - the very next day no less!
Can't wait for his games against MC.

I'm surprised no one is mentioning Choya's OTHER big error in game 5's final battle. He blinked his stalkers up the ramp, attempting to attack vikings I suppose.. and trapped his own zealots. You can see a large number of zealots charging back and forth behind his stalkers, unable to get in the bio ball's face.
This was huge - a big part of Choya's last two wins were his zealot heavy compositions running into the bio ball. In the previous two games, through forcefields and/or backing Jinro against a wall, his zealots got to wail on the bio. The marauder's dirty secret: charge zealots do quite well against them when they aren't blocked. No such luck in game 5 though, and the bio cleaned up without having to worry about most of Choya's zealots.
On the bright side it got our guy Jinro to the final four! Go go go-rilla!!

THE SCANDINAVIAN THOR. God that's fucking epic GJ Jinro you're a true foreign hero. Now we can stop watching Idra ;]

Ho ho - I definitely like 'Muscle Man' and 'Scandinavian Thor' ^^. There's no shortage of nicknames for Jinro  .
Great winner's interview - hoping for 2 more with Jinro this season  .

I almost died during the series. Choya's comeback was the nightmare and everything was still up in the air for the entirety of game 5. I was never so relieved to see a player win. Jinro fighting!

Jinro is tha men.
So exited !!
|
Would be interesting if he in one game throws in a early rush semicheese build just to throw his opponent off since he played 100% straight up so far. On the other hand having that ace up your sleeve must be very comfortable even if you dont use it.

we rooting for ya mr gorilla man!!! gogo!!
