I think they look awesome in those leather jackets. IdrA even no longer wears glasses. It's a good move to steer away from the typical layman's nerd-image that progaming has.. plus it's better to look at

It makes sense that 2 players known for their macro play would try to mindgame each other. Hopefully we'll see more games from them next season.


Also... turns out that canceling first marine is a useful talent toi have...

Congrats Jinro, good luck in your next matches.

I'm confident you will make it all the way to the finals, and you deserve to! A foreigner winning the GSL, how awesome that would be!

I really like that Idra changed up his openings. The first game opener totally caught Jinro off guard. Simple changes like that while still macroing it up, will make him do even better than before. I like the leather gracken style too.
Jinro just did really well, and actually having a foreign player besides Idra that shows that he can do really well already is great.

When i saw idra in that leather jacket, and without the glasses, my first thought was that he really is living up to the villain image. He looks so evil :-)

This is not meant in a bad way, but i really got associations to all the evil guys in movies.

is Idra BM?
I watch e-sports to see the best pro`s in a game do things that "common" pro`s could never do, and almost humiliate them. That skill-range just isn`t present in SC2. Again, I fully agree with having SC2 as a game.

He hasn't been recently, unless you count really early GGing as BM.

You are now 4-1 against Idra. Is it safe to say you're the best foreigner now?

I hope that whomever wrote this question was either intoxicated or heavily under the influence of some substance because there's no way one could logically imply that a single match could define or even overturn another one's title of being the "best non-Korean in StarCraft 2" without that person already having an immense bias to the player that won...

...just saying.

Personal opinion: Jinro should take after the original gorilla terran himself and start psyching his opponents out with his interviews. Rather than saying "i don't want to say anything in case MKP will read it," Jinro could say something that would make MKP play disadvantageously against the actual strats if he reads it, and if he ignores it, make sure the strats are fine anyway. Mindgame like a true champ.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=81288

oov responding to a question on his cocky and confident attitude "Yes, on purpose, so does in interviews. E-sports is Mind-sports. Practice is important, while some factors outside the stage weigh much as well. As a progamer, I should be polite to media and fans, but I don't want to show the impression of weakness to people. I'm always confident of winning, so I express my confidence, which is helpful to the matches in my opinion."
oov's use of interviews "I always used interviews strategically. That’s why I would mock my opponents, or pretend to be strong. I thought all of that was momentum, and I would even ask my fans to post things on message boards like “ILoveoov is really good” etc. When I played JulyZerg in the Starleague final, I thought mentality was particularly important. Honestly, I was scared and nervous. After I admitted he was a strong opponent and said honestly what I felt, I was able to go into the game with confidence and get a good result."

The chin is win!

Beautiful games, lots of variety, and idra showed us all his gracken powers on xel'naga. But when it comes down to it, idra just needs more work on his mid/early game, because it's obvious how untouchable he is in endgame. Unfortunately, idra (and me, for that matter >.>) just struggles to get to the endgame.


And it's just bad luck that his 6pool failed.


That marine was Clyde in armor. He was notably taller and more handsome than the other marines.

Congrats to Jinro. Although blaming a loss (game 1) on anything other than the fact that your opponent just played better than you that game, and not admitting that you just need to figure it out and play better, is highly unprofessional.


Jeez.. That is so rude. What's wrong with you?

Jinro, you give me fucking shivers every time I read your words or hear about your games.

Best of luck against MKP, we're proud of you!

Also, please please win, just so we can fuck with the final ceremony by making them stop every five seconds to translate for you what's going on.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.
