With "Gorilla man" is Jinro refering to Gorilla terran aka IloveOov or am I missing something?


People said it's because of this post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=173648&currentpage=14#276

But I thought he's been called Gorilla Terran longer than that...?

Maybe cause someone made a cheer for him

Ok, I'm Chinese and I think I can explain why some Chinese SC2 players call Jinro the Muscle Man.

I don't know how to pronounce the word "Jinro" , but most Chinese read it like "Jean-Row", which sounds pretty similar to the Chinese phrase "筋肉" ,which means "muscle". For this reason China guys like calling Jinro "筋肉男" (the muscle man)and even "魔鬼筋肉男" (the devil muscle man)

BTW, Yi Jianlian, the most famouse Chinese basketball player with the possible exception of Yao, got the same nick name of "devil muscle man" after getting hard training in Milwaukee Bucks.

Jinro, you definitely are one of the classiest progamers out there. Wish you the best, as you make it so easy for people to cheer for you. Great representing out there, gl, and don't ever change

Lol well if they call Yi Jianlian "muscle man", its definitely not because Jinro is considered buff then.

Actually from what I've heard so far they call him the 'swedish thor', not the scandinavian thor.

Congrats Jonathan for being the first non-korean to reach the final 4. I hope you can put a good showing against MC and get to the finals. Good luck!

I like the way that oGs/Liquid are referring to themselves as the same team.

It's pretty damn awesome, and I feel reallllly privileged to be part of the budding SC2 community to be inspired by all this foreigner action. I don't post here much and most likely am coming off as just another sc2 scrub that's decreasing the signal to noise ratio here on TL, but I want to say a massive thanks and congratulations to Jinro, TeamLiquid and the entire pro sc2 "foreigner" community for being so damn inspiring and awesome.

Grats to Jinro. I'm curious as to how TheStc keeps up with the current metagame given his service time. Is he still playing tons of games or is he that good?


There are different ways to serve out your mandatory military service. Although the most common is to live on a military base (barracks lol!) for two years (in which case you would not be able to play at all), under certain circumstances, such as physical health, place of residence, or just pure luck, you can be a 상근예비역 or 공익요원 (there are also other ways to serve out your term.. but let's not get into that ). The former means you join the army, but you commute from home, so while all the other poor kids are stuck in the barracks, you get to go home at 6pm (or was it 5?). The latter are the true chosen ones, you get to work in the public sector, (ie for the government). Both mean you have lots of free time once you get back home to play as much SC2 as you want. In fact, thestc is still a very active participant in Gisado's KOTH tournament (I think he was the leader in wins for the month of November actually).. which is how he keeps up to speed.

Actually the true chosen ones are the ones who get out of serving at all! (hate those mofos )

[edit] Forgot the most important part! Go Jinro! Down a bottle of soju if you win!!! That will definitely get you a private sponsorship from Jinro the company!


Actually, wouldn't they be the true "unchosen" ones? =)
Thanks for the insight, btw.
You know what unit really has balance problems? Colossi. Why, they look like they could be blown over in a stiff wind!
