Just the other day I was thinking about Jinro and his absence from both tournaments and the stream list. I was thinking there was two options, either that he was practicing really hard and didn't want to show it to his opponents or that he is retiring soon. Sadly it was the last one

As a big Broodwar fan it was really hard for me at the beginning to enjoy watching SC2. But Jinro with his amazing runs in the GSL made me enjoy SC2 as well. He was the first SC2 player I really cared about and was follow for a while, even though the scene had both Boxer and Nada. Jinro also became the first swedish SC2 "superstar" which was really cool. You could feel everyone root for him and create a unity which no one else did. It's sad that he didn't get what he wanted from SC2.

Bye Jinro and good luck in life, you will me missed! Jinro fighting!

This is the man who broke into Korean territory, the one who paved the path to glory, the explorer of the frontier!

Nowadays, we have plenty of foreigners beating Koreans, but this man did it when it was considered impossible!

" I was in the finals of the qualifiers vs. IMMinSeok. The last map was Daybreak. NesTea was watching behind him.

Later on, I was told that halfway through the game, NesTea had sadly exclaimed that the game was over, that MinSeok could not come back. Unfortunately for me, MinSeok fought back through some inspired play, and my control failed me in two crucial battles. "

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Good times.......i saw this in the GSL Code-A place....... i miss korea...xDDD

GOOD LUCK JINRO!!!!!!!!!!!
