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!



the games vs. socke on desert oasis was so awesome

gl gorillaterran, you'll be missed!

Not a time for GG. Rather a time for GLHF. All the best Jinro.

I would love if Jinro read this, since im like a REALLY HUGE fan, whenever he streamed I watched it, even if I had school the next day (I live in Chile so when he streamed it was like 3 am here), I enjoyed his stream so much i just left my Starcraft 2 games or even forgot i was playing them. I always watched his analysing and gameplay (and also the great rap songs he played), and learned so much he became an example to me. I play all races myself but I enjoyed terran the most because of Jinro's gameplay and the inspiration he brought to me when I watched him win. I'm only 16 years old but meeting Jinro in real life would be a dream come true just like when he wrote he wanted to become a progamer. That's my childish dream that I would never quit. This new was very shocking to me but I will always remember him as the best foreigner ever and the most courageous person I have seen for always taking the right directions in his life. I always wished he won every tournament he participated in, but it sucks that it wasn't possible. Thanks to him, TLO and HuK (who are my fav players by race), I reached Masters League very easily, but especially from Jinro I learned that giving up is not an option and you must do what makes you happy in life and that's what he did and what made me very proud,

Bye Chinrilla... hope you enjoy your new life.

PD: Sorry for bad english, and I hope you find a correct path once again.

Man this will take a long time to melt down. Even if i read this yesterday i just couldnt stop thinking about it through the whole day. Jinro was my only true favorite player. I didnt care about the results lately. Every tourney he was in i was as pumped as i am watching a gold medal game in any sport i adore. I always followed youre stream and forgot about what day and what time it was. It was just too exciting to watch you play. Youre awesome!

And you will be soooo missed, Jinro. Please give HoTS a honest chance. No one will think its a stupid decision that you quit something and came back. Because youre Jinro. Everyone know how high your potential is (even that you were lacking motivation and tilting at the game alot past months).
I hope this is just a major break from you. I will always wait for that day when you come back. I just dont care if you say "unlikely" to to that option. Because we all want you back any day.

But a gigantic portion of luck to you for whatever road you choose to follow, and please keep posting here and on twitter for your true fans (like me).

GG & tack mannen!

You just acomplished the best foreign career of SC2. Be proud Jinro.

I remember we talking a little bit when you were SC2 moderator and, by your behavior, you demonstrated the great person you are. I never tought you could go so far, and seeing your results made me very happy. You are a true champion and an inspiration to all.

Congrats on your great career!!

GL on your new path.

Thanks, it means a lot to hear this (and this goes to everyone who shared something similiar, I can't reply to everyone unfortunately so it's a little bit chance whether I will respond directly or not ><).

I used to play quite a lot of SC1 with a guy from Chile --- his ID was Keir I think. He went to WCG and stuff a couple of times I believe.

Saw this coming a long time ago. I really liked him when he was at the top of the skill curve, and sad to see him fall from there. I hope his future is great. Anyway, I will miss watching u Jinro.

Not suggesting i would ever be good enough, but here dies the dream of me ever playing jinro in an actual tournament </3
I respected the hell out of him as a player, and studying his play style is the main reason my pvt is my strongest match up, even tough a lot of people might say it wasnt his strongest match up, its a real shame he was not able to re attain the heights of his "glory days" but as everyone said it seems he set the standard for himself to high, anyways im sure hell be great at poker as he has previous experience as well as being dedicated
Dare to dream bigger :)

Woah, that was extremely well worded Nazgul.
We'll miss you Jinro!
