Well, two trips to the final four in a row is nothing to be down about, it is amazing actually, so congrats and thanks for the entertainment (loved watching you play this season..even if I paid for it the next day at work). I love your new plan about just mass gaming, I think it will tighten your screws quite a bit and help you adapt and improvise better. Having a great game plan is always a huge part, but thinking on your feet is equally important, and that improves with experience.

I have high hopes for you in GSL5, gl man

well Jinro, you did honestly one of hell of a job.
I you've made semi finals twice in a row, you've proven yourself capable, and now you just need to hit the finals and stand as the champ!

Jinro: That's an excuse-laden interview if I've ever read one. Absolutely disgusting. Dan and Nick never pass up an opportunity to tell us how manly you are, but your weak-willed, inadequate answers further demonstrate how far their heads are up their asses.

I hope your game metamorphisizes into something worth watching (and playing). Good luck! from a former fan.

"Outplayed" is an excuse how exactly? "His good defense" is an excuse how exactly?

Jinro you are a great player , no doubt .. But if you really want to be like MVP or MKP on the ladder you should work hard on micro and tactics.. i like harrassing , but you do banshee and helion every single game .. i dont like that style , winning because a flying dark templar killed 15 scvs, that takes the beauty of the game for the spectator.. at least for me , i like to see mkp or mvp atacks , they almost never harrass , they just go there and destroy everything.. that is beautifull , its what MC does , hits that time and boom...

Good luck with the cold , the trainings and the next GSL that comes very fast..

What?
It's basically how the game is meant to be played. That's TvT. MC doesn't harass because as much because... he's protoss. Same goes for Zergs. Terran is a harassing race.

Also MKP and MVP harasses alot alot alot, so I don't really see your point.
Marine drop and banshee are both considered harass. Banshees are alot safer in the damage dealt, as if they have cloak they'll atleast cost a scan for 250ish minerals, whereas marine drops have slightly higher risk/ reward.
Considering the siege tanks in TvT, the option would be to go stim up and run in there, and basically hope that the tanks'll unsiege or something.
Jinro's tactics are by far the best in the world imho, but he might need a little practise with micro/ macro yeah. Just thinking of scouting workers sometimes slipping by marines, and macro slipping a little sometimes in the mkp series.

Either way I hope Jinro gets well soon. Having a cold in a team house must be the worst feeling in the world. There's no doubt in my mind you'll atleast get into the finals of gsl5. Jinro whaiting! ♥

Good luck, Jinro! I'm glad you set your goal as winning. That's what I want to see out of everybody. Never settle for anything less.

Jinroooooooo! You're gonna kill it next time fo sho, though two Ro4's in a row is already killing it, so you'll have to murder it just a little bit harder.

Extremely well played out there Jinro. If I speak for myself and mostly all the foreigners you have fast become an example and an inspiration. Never did I expect that foreigners will exchange blows with the koreans in this fashion so soon after the release. Even on my days at the university when I cant play sc2 and dont have internet access I somehow try to get my hands on your match results(and the whole TL team as well:p)

A true fan and a Terran to the core...

Either way I hope Jinro gets better soon, so that he can play without sneezing and win the GSL 5

Jinro is a far better player than me, so I am sure he is aware of this, but the only real weakness in his style I've seen, is that his macro slips while he harass. His harass on the other hand, is extremely good, possibly the best I've seen in the GSL. But the micro does mean he slips on building up econ and units while doing it.

Anyway, that was critical, of one of the best players in the world, so probably wasn't worth saying

Good luck, I am sure that you will do well in the next seasons too.

Great Interview, and Jinro don't care about some random guy not caring enough about you, what you achieved and even more how you achieved it was awesome, and we're nothing but proud of you.
You make Terran worth watching, sir!
Some of my clanmembers are swedish, and they were so pumped after every of your games that they couldnt get back asleep

As a protoss player who never watches other races play, I've never been more excited then when i was watching you play in the semi's.
Way to go Jinro can't wait to see your games next GSL! :D

Well done Jinro you definitely proved that your first final 4 was no fluke, backing it up this season in what was definitely a really hard run. In fact 2 top 4 finishes in a row is probably the best level of consistency shown by just about anyone over a 2 season period that i can recall. It was definitely interesting to read the psychological side of things about 'not being nervous and that reflecting not wanting the win bad enough'. Its probably a really tough thing to stay mentally focused, without succumbing to the nerves. Best of luck next season, i for one really enjoyed your style and i hope we get to see you playing more tvp's with your mech style in the next gsl!
