iPood , right now , in this moment , only mkp is probably better .. mvp style of tvt is different than mkp , and if jinro could beat MC he could beat mvp too even if its TvT , because Jinro TvT fits well against MVP i think. Don´t count Jinro out , because one thing we can all agree , he pretty much prepares for his opponent like no one , and hard work always gets people far.
Both MVP and Jinro are more solid players than MKP. MKP has good mechanics and micro, but he's still a bit too one-dimensional in his tactics (but has improved drastically since his loss to NesTea in GSL2). Crisis management and macro aren't his strengths, and the very fact that he's unwilling to play Mech (as he stated himself in his interview) illuminates a lot about his mentality - one that will severely cripple his play in the long run. The more diverse one's playstyle is, the more unbeatable one is...that's just the truth, in both BW and in this game. I love MKP, but unless he changes his mentality, he won't stay at the top for too long.
Hope Jinro can replicate the success of Guillaume Patry at the beginning of BW, but with even more staying power.

Congrats Jinro on a successful GSL! I'll be watching again next month, good luck!

I think MKP's style of play is undervalued too often. I hear Artosis & Tasteless talk about how MKP style of heavy marine based play cannot be maintained. That basically his style will be figured out=>"countered" and thus he will lose games due to being predictable.
I don't believe this is so.
Hopefully people will re-look at MKP after the finals and see how brilliant he is.
In my eyes MKP is not someone that can be simply "figured out". To beat him, you have to literally play harder, better, faster, stronger.
To all out there, if you can!
Work it like MKP
Make it like MKP
Do it like MKP
Makes us like MKP
only then we will know that you are
Harder!
Better!
Faster!
Stronger!

I found this really interesting, knowing that the two best (arguably but up there somewhere at least) terrans spends most of thier practice time laddering. I also read from Jinros post that he mostly play practice games against teammates?
He said 'extremely active' in ladder.
That does not mean they spend most of their time laddering, naturally. They probably do in fact spend most of their time preparing and practicing builds with the team.

Jinro hwaiting forever! <3 can't wait to see this amazing player keep getting better over the GSLs! GL TO ALL TL AND oGs!
|
MKP had to sneak two gold bases and proxy a starport to beat Jinro. Jinro won't lose to MKP again (but I i dunno about MC!). As a person who never really cared about pro-gaming until SC2 Jinro has done so much to make me excited about the coming seasons of gsl. Good luck to him

Nice interview.
MKP's style seems to be plenty solid. You have to be a tactician on MKP's level to know how to abuse your extreme mobility. I don't see why he can't keep dancing around protoss balls and terran tank armies.

Its hard to believe that Jinro lost again in the semis... still it was a great run by Jinro
Liquid Fighting in next GSL!!!

Jinro I got mad respect for you. Next time I'm in Korea we should drink some soju

Besides winning the OSL, being like Grrrr... would not be something to strive for.
Over the years Reaver drops as well as his tendency to perform the "Gas Rush" became Guillaume's trademark-strategies. As his era was before the time of flawless game mechanics, the upcoming players started to crush and dominate him by simply training more than him as well as the new Replay-feature, that came out with the 1.08a patch, ruptured his superior strategies. The biggest trouble for Guillaume became SlayerS `BoxeR`. Patry used hotkeys very little by only controlling his units with them and leaving the buildings be, thinking hotkey spamming was useless. *Quoted from Liquipedia because it says it better than I could*
Meaning he was a player that faded out fast, and didn't really have the 'skill' that the long running pro's did.
I mean I get what you are saying that you hope Jinro can win the GSL, but the analogy to Grrrr... might not be that fitting.

Jinro looks so badass in the booth

Good job JinrO but in my humble opinion, games 1-2 were nice play... games 3-4 you really seemed to choke and just do subpar decition based on your earlier performances: You just felt contained and scared to move, to controll the game. Especially noticeable when JinrO knew he was all in at the end and still attacked an expansion instead of the production facilities. There was just no reason for that and the small chance of winning was lost.
|
This interview makes me so happy. I always hear people setting goals that are short of total victory. In a game that depends so much on mental discipline and fortitude, even the slightest doubt can wreak a great player. Jinro is really only limited by the belief he has in himself. If he is truly aiming for the title than I think he can do it. I just wish some other players (Idra) could recognize that these mental blocks they set up for themselves hinder their ability to realize their potential. Play hard Jinro and remember you are your worst enemy.

I've never seen anyone execute a strategy and maintain such great control at multiple points as much as I did in Jinro's first game vs MKP. That was stellar. <3

Thanks Jinro, I'm a fan and I didn't realize that you were sick as well, during the matches against MarineKingPrime. I am also wondering, do you have any insights on the final match of tank/marine vs MMM? Nono, I was feeling 100% healthy right up until the games ended, it was SOOOO strange that I decided it could not possibly happen this quickly and I attributed it entirely to not sleeping well (thinking about the game etc, Im sure most people who play big tournaments dont sleep too well before big games), and went to the gym when I came home anyway. Not a good idea, as it turns out. Apparently it IS possible to go from feeling perfectly fine to having a fever, headache, throatache etc in the space of a couple of hours. Good to know.
If you're very excited it's possible that you just don't feel these things, and not that they weren't there.
I've had one case, where I suddenly felt that my stomach hurts like hell and that was purely because of hunger, which I didn't feel at all just a moment before. I wasn't sick and after I ate the pain disappeared, so it was a case of just not feeling it, because I had my mind on other things.

honestly just bloody good job jinro. you deserve all the praise you get.
|
Good interview! Good luck to Jinro next season! Go for the finals man, would LOVE to see you take that trophy.
|
Jinro. Your much better than i am.
My only piece of advice for you is patience. When you are playing patiently, you are nigh unstoppable. Your harass is nearly perfect. Play with patience and you will win.
I think you evaporated all your patience in game one.
|
Good Luck Jinro, I hope to get to see you and IdrA square off on the maps that are supposed to be replacing Blizzard's maps. Epic macro play shall ensue.
|
Too bad you didn't manage to beat MKP, but what the hell, making it to the semifinals are a great achievement! Two semifinals in a row, beating MC 2-0 with mech, you got the next GSL dude!
Jinro fighting!
