Words cannot express how much I will miss watching you Jinro. you have been an inspiration to so many, myself included. Your dream is not dead my friend, your dream lives on, in the hearts and minds of those that have watched you from afar and dreamed as well, that one day they would be close to where you have climbed to scale the heights that you did, to surpass you if possible and look out from that glorious visage and say, "This is what the journey was all about."

Good luck to you sir, in anything that you do, in all phases modes and spheres that you may exist in or participate in, please know that you have this young man's undying support and ultimate respect.

Sincerely,
Zach Neal
you can't get mad at basketball cause you think kobe bryant is a horrible person. you don't see basketball forums with "kobe bryant is killing basketball!". it doesn't work like that, how the SC2 community made that connection is beyond me. ~Yoduh

I will miss your stream and the inspiration to play Terran, and your awesome music, and all of it...
Also on the bright side, you will forever be remembered as the best ever foreigner, who retired while they were on top, at least in terms of all time results... I'm glad I will have such fond memories to remember you by

I could tell you did not really enjoy playing the game anymore ever since you fell to Code B last year. I guess the suffering is over now and you will be off to greener pastures. You still, to this day, hold the highest finish of a foreigner in GSL ever with reaching the Ro4 twice. And for that you will be remembered. Godspeed, Jinro.

I'm a Jinro fan.

I wondered what happened to him over the past year or so, and had the feeling that this was exactly the case: sometimes you've been there done that and it's time to move on.

Best of luck to you man.

If its not fun I dont want it.

Incredibly sad, but I'm happy that Jinro isn't just slogging through in something that doesn't bring him joy anymore.

Good luck in all your future endeavours Jinro!

"Many people will no doubt wonder where I am going, and what I am going to do. The answer is: nowhere, and poker."

That's about the saddest thing in the interview for me.
Well, I wish you good luck! I hope betting your future on a card game in which luck is a big factor, is the right move for you....
I hope after getting the burn out on one game, this one will entertain you for longer.

Jinro, you were my first eSport hero and for that you will always have a huge place in my heart. In a sense you were the one who opened my eyes to the passion of sports in general(up until your GSL runs I didn't fully understand the concept of screaming at a monitor with joy or anger).

I sincerely hope you find what you look for in whatever else you do in the future!

You will be missed Jonathan. You're such an inspiration! :>

Take care, my fellow compatriot <3

his legend is plenty solidified in the history of SC2. Hope things work out great in the future. That poker is a fickle friend...I'm glad I moved on when I did, despite the freedom and lifestyle it provides.

When I was living in Korea and watching GSL on Korean GOM.TV, Jinro inspired me to play SC2. Really used to cheer like mad when he was doing well on his spectacular runs to the semi-finals. Fantastic ambassador for the foreign SC2 community.

Good luck in the future.
