maybe jinro tried to hard to have his own style that he never succeded, i watched his games in team league gstl some months ago and he played really weird / very uncommon / almost never seen strategies and they failed him. He got so successfull doing his own strategies when sc2 was new, but i think if he just adapted to the metagame and actually practised from there he might still have been a code A level player.

About those games, the TvZ I was actually doing a very normal build, just Life did a very hard counter to it. The TvP I didnt plan to do the build I did AT ALL - I just was forced into playing weird because of the proxy stargate

I was going to 1-1-1.

It sucks to see someone who's been a pillar in the community for so long retire. Thanks for all the games Jinro, be proud, you reached the GSL semis not once, but twice. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

all the best in your future endeavors, Jinro.
you've inspired a lot of foreigners to follow their dream, and a lot of BW veterans to keep grinding.
that alone is something most could only wish to give to this community.
thank you for your high expectations, it inspires me to never settle.
hopefully now that it is not your job, you can re-learn to love Starcraft again, and maybe play a showmatch or two for fun down the road. take care! <3

SC2 and SC1 are one of those games that's highly dependent on motivation and drive. Too many people think it's about age, but really, it's mostly because they've been playing nonstop for over 10 years and it's hard to put in the same amount of overtime practice as the younger players. You can't be comfortable with just 8 hours a day when the guy next to you trains 12 hours a day.

This is something I've always tried to bring up when people talk about age too. You could say it's age related as the passion is more commonly found the younger you are, but in reality it's not related to your actual age.

Oh yeah, Jinro, forgot to say, but feel free to play War3 with us some time whenever you feel like it (though I'm unsure how active the TL "groups" are nowadays). :O

sad to see you go dude, you were the first non korean to show that the rest of the world can hang with them in sc2 and we will always remember you for that.

You were one of my early inspirations as terran, and what you accomplished in the GSL is unprecedented for a foreigner to this day. Be proud of what you accomplished and the example you served as during your time in the scene, because we certainly are. GL HF Jonathan!
