Jinro has been amazing me with his play this GSL.

His macro/micro/gamesense and decision making were absolutely top notch. Everytime I saw him playing he impressed me even more and I enjoyed seeing him play.

There is still a huge difference in class within Code S, and in my honost opinion Jinro is currently in the top of that class.

How much this guy improved in this short time period is absolutely astonishing and should be an example to all foreign players what can be accomplished in Starcraft 2.

Thank you Jinro for making my moneys worth in this season, and hopefully you will be even better next month.

Jinro, you did good man. MKP's style of play definitely requires some more preparation against, since its so unique, and the problem with the mass marine/heavy micro/heavy drop play is the lack of practice partners that are available that can mimic it.

Well, lets hope MKP wins GSL again, so at least you can say you lost to the best. :D

Great run from Jinro. Unfortunate you got stopped at another Semi Finals though.

I really liked all his answers and it is easy to see why is is successful. He just has the right mindset which is half the battle most of the time. I hope he reaches the new goal he set for himself and improves his mechanics so he can save that "mental strength."

Nice tourney run and interview. It felt like a very close match watching. MKP's style has a lot to recommend it - and he is a super ballsy player, when a lot of others start playing it safe in the late high stakes matches. It bears some thinking about.

I can't give strat advice to a player of Jinro's caliber, but I do think it's worth being aware of your physical comfort level in the booth. Learn to find the right adrenaline, nerves level for best play. And dress properly! You mentioned having trouble warming your hands against Idra. Against MKP you fidgeted in that oGs jacket for awhile before going tshirt. Find your physical comfort level, you're going to need everything going for you to beat these guys and win the next one.

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.

That's perfectly normal I think, I had a similar experience after finishing my PhD. I guess the body allows itself to take a break only as soon as the tension drops.

Bad luck with the loss Jinro.

You are a top notch player, and im sure you will rebound from this and come back stronger next season.

(And we finally see a Terran win a GSL )

Try going for 2/2 bio and 2/2 tanks against MKP 3/3 bio, I think this could help a lot (and 3/2 tanks as soon as you can too). I guess you already figured that out in TLoGs house, but oh well =)

Hope Jinro can replicate the success of Guillaume Patry at the beginning of BW, but with even more staying power.


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.

That is understating his success a little bit, he did stay around as a high tier progamer until late 2003is, which is fairly respectable considering his first couple of years were extremely dominant. He was a progamer in Korea from 2000 to 2003 afterall.
