Good luck in your future endeavours, Jinro! I will always be a fan, forever.

I have a small Jinro story to tell. I was at MLG Anaheim in 2011, and I got to see him play live on the main stage, with an incredible nuke against Choya that won him the game and made the crowd roar.

The day after the event, I was down in the hotel lobby waiting to check out. It was 4:50 in the morning and I was tired and kind of in a hurry to get back to the airport. There were three people in front of me, and one of them was Jinro. While he waited for the person in front of me, he was talking to a fan who had shown up just seconds before I did.

I could tell that Jinro was also trying to get to the check-out desk quickly, that he was also in a hurry, but he kept answering the fan's questions in a polite manner, never once getting upset. The fan asked him all the usual questions fans ask, like how many hours he practiced, etc. I wanted to interrupt them, to say something like "Hey Jinro, talk to me, I'll ask better questions" but honestly I couldn't think of any.

Then the person at the front desk finished and the moment was gone. Jinro took care of what he had to take care of and the fan disappeared.

Take care, Jinro. I hope one day I can meet you properly.

I remember Jinro said in a post that he'd live in Korea even if he quits Starcraft. I wonder if he's staying in Korea or returning to Sweden?
