My favorite player's fall. Nothing I say will express the emotion I'm going through. I'm sitting at my desk with my hand on my head and my other hand on my mouse. No one is looking, yet I still rub my eyes to prevent my emotions from leaking out. ESports will miss you. Teamliquid will miss you. And most important to me... I will miss you. Best wishes for your future Jinro. Your name will never be forgotten.
Starcraft should never fall.

Saw it coming given the lack of results for over a year. Was a good run early though, and wish him luck for the future.

My roommate never knew anything about Starcraft. He just sat on his bed playing retro games and browsing Reddit. Meanwhile, I was staying up at 4 am to watch GSL, fucking up the rest of my day and destroying my general sleep schedule to watch my favorite players play. Especially Jinro.

And when Jinro kept making deep runs into GSL, I was ecstatic. These were some of the most exciting, historic games that I have ever watched.

And the strangest thing happened. My roommate, despite knowing almost nothing about Starcraft, started asking how Jinro was performing. I was excited about Jinro. Reddit was excited about Jinro. Even Notch and Mojang were excited about Jinro. And now my roommate was excited about Jinro. He was the man that the rest of us non-Koreans could connect to. That man who could walk among the Korean gods and make history with his exceptional and consistent performance.

Jinro is a legend and hero, and I am glad to have witnessed this legend form live on the GSL streams in the most inconvenient hours of the morning.

Nooo! I remember watching his GSL run...he inspired me to play T and continue playing T even on the days I raged and wanted to throw out SC2. I will miss Jinro and wish him the best of luck for his future.

You will always remain the first "best foreigner in the world" to me, Jinro. Goodbye, and good luck in the future! =)

How many people can truly say that they did their dream job? Not many, I bet.

My favourite game of Starcraft 2 remains Jinro vs. MC on Scrap Station, where Jinro went mech and won after MC made carriers and phoenix. It was a silly game; by rights, MC should have won, but I'll never forget that feeling when I stifled my cheers so I didn't wake anyone up but inside I was fucking jumping up and down.

I'm sad to see Jinro go, of course but I can only wish him utmost happiness in whatever he does for the rest of his life, and hopefully he'll Jinroll people in poker too

Jinro, when I started watching starcraft you were my idol. The first epic game I ever saw was when you beat MC with mech on Scrap Station. Wow, that was a long time ago.

You still have the love of my friends and I.

You inspired me to keep playing Terran as a macro player, and watching you grind out the games really gave me hope to keep up getting better.

No matter what the event, I always yelled at my friends for not believing in you .
In my eyes they were never right.

I will miss you Jinro!

A 2 year career seem awfully short and sad . However I guess in a competitive environment, if you don't feel like competing anymore you're not gonna last. Hope your poker luck will be good.

This is both a surprise and a shock, I know the results were not there but I never thought you would retire.

Good luck in the future, Jinro, or perhaps you should now be known as Jonathan.

Jinro you were the only player I woke up at 2am on work nights to watch in GSL. I enjoyed watching and cheering. I was so sad when you didn't make the CodeA qualifier in such a close game (partially selfish -- I couldn't watch anymore!). Good luck in the future!

Thanks for the games man. In high school, I woke up early to watch every one of Jinro's GSL matches, then I'd think about them all day in class. Thanks for the memories.

All the best wishes. for one hell of a Swede!
Good Luck Jinro, in all your future endeavors!

Jinro was the reason I took an interest in the professional SC2 scene; watching his match-up against Idra meant more to me than even watching my Olympic countrymen. I wish you the best of luck and thank you!
