I'm sad to see one of my favorite players to leave the pro-gaming scene. I wish for the best of the luck to you in the future, Jinro, and I hope you'll still be on Teamliquid.net moderating the forums

It's funny you bring up that interview with InCa because that's when you really became my favorite player. I really respect you for grinding out those games and practicing so hard to achieve the results that you achieved. Watching you succeed was so satisfying knowing the time you put into the game. Always cheering for those who work hard to get rewarded. Hope you keep that passion and work ethic in whatever you do next.

Kinda expected it for awhile....He was stalled in SC2 for so long, I think it was only a matter of time before he decided to call it quits. Regardless, mad respect for sticking with it for so long and being one of the first foreign hopes in SC2. GL in your future endevours Jinro!

Sad day but it sounds like he needed a change or he wouldn't have been that happy. Really hope Poker takes you far :D

Good run FrozenArbiter.

I've only known you through the internet, but personally it was almost blatantly painfully obvious that bw was your true love. I think if nothing else, it's healthy for you to not deny those feelings and it really sounds like you've come to reflect that although being a progamer was your dream, what you really wanted deep down was to be a bw progamer. Some things in life cannot be replaced.

I had a big smile on my face when Liquid came up as an actual progaming team again and you were graciously accepted. I watched in awe as this guy who played against high skill bnet koreans was able to go to ro4 GSL. When Liquid and oGs came together to form the house, I knew how much it would mean to you to live in a korean practice house. When almost every foreigner was leaving Korea because they couldn't take it one way or another only you and HuK stuck it out in true BW style representing the commitment it took. And look what happened....You got ro4 TWICE and HuK became for a long time the best foreigner we had. I don't think any of this is special, any bw fan from 2002- onwards knows how much you wanted that life from the fervent way you posted. You were the mega poster before mega posters and a kind person. Take care!
