Well, this is really sad, but it's your choice and I fully respect it. I guess it was a very hard decision to take.
You've always been one of my favorite player, I remember eating as fast as I could to be able to watch your GSL games before returning to classroom, it was a great time. Your rivalry with Idra in that same GSL was very entertaining.

I wish you as much success in poker as Elky

Thank you for all the awesome moments you've given me in Starcraft 2.

I remember being without work when SC2 arrived,
and i was staying up all night playing,
and went to bed after GSL had aired in about 12-1pm ^_^

So many good memories of your play, continue FIGHTING no matter what you will do next!

GLHF!

So sad to hear t hat you retire, Jinro. I have always waited for your second big breakthrough. There is no doubt in my mind you certainly got the talent + some more to take you to the top. Good luck in the future! Would love to see you back in HotS!!

In my previous post, I note my sadness.

The only thing I would ask Jinro - did you consider being a Team Captain or Coach?

I'll also throw it out there - are there any other fields or areas of employment you could look at? Return to school, get a degreee/diploma for a specific occupation?

I like poker, but there is that part of my brain which still says it is still just educated gambling, vs a proper job so to speak.

I will still sorely miss Jinro playing, his big smiles, and I can only imagine how the other TL players feel (sad, etc).

Stay around! Maybe guest cast at tournaments, for some extra income!

One of my favourite moments in SC2 was watching some of your GSL TvT's and being amazed at how you straight up outplayed the top koreans in careful tank line wars (vs Moon and Polt I think). Results might have fallen off but you were the first to show foreign dominance.

Although now I get to read your LP hand histories so all is good in the world anyways.
