I woke up today and it was shaping to be a normal morning. Then I logged on Facebook and saw this.
LiquidHerO
Don't leaveeeeeeeee Jinro ㅠㅜ but we can still live together. Let's enjoy life together http://t.co/otNkyeyB

Oh no. Oh no no no no no. Cella/Alicia style, you know what I mean? So I quickly got on TL and saw the confirmation of my suspicions:

Liquid' Jinro Retires

Now I've got a few words to say. Jinro, you've been an inspiration to us all. Not only were you "that guy from Sweden who went to Korea and got far in the GSL". You were a symbol. You were someone who dared to chase his dream. I mean, for many of us, becoming a progamer in Korea is kind of like... it represents this idea that no matter who you are and what you desire, if you really want it and are willing to work very, very hard to achieve it, then nothing is unattainable. Like some people probably want to become... progamers, writers, scientists, artists, what have you, yet they don't follow up on their dreams for whatever reasons - the risks involved, lack of confidence in their own ability, pressure from others (like with MKP and his parents who wanted him to become a lawyer), choosing the easier path... to paraphrase, taking the road more taken.

The act of doing what you love regardless of the circumstances is something I have come to really appreciate in life. Jinro, you were among those wonderful people who showed me that. And now, I'm extremely glad that you were able to pull that off again: to once more look at your current position and choose to do what makes you happy.

So... good luck, and have fun!

I'm so sad now, I remember so well watching the GSL back then and catching IdrA and Jinro to play and I was always so happy when they won. Best of luck Jinro!

Was always great to see you smoke the haters in live threads, and your run in the early GSLs was amazing. Good luck in the next step

Was fun watching him until he showed us that he was a live hard die young type of player (To put it nicely). He just never adapted to the new styles of play when his abusive play got figured out.

If you ever see this Jinro:

I will always and forever look back fondly on the early season of the GSL where you advanced to the Ro8 and faced off against IdrA.

Few things highlight Starcraft 2 for me, as fondly as those good ol' days.

There was even this independant tourney of Gorilla vs the Gracken - yet another incredible time I'll always remember. I dearly wish we could bring those days back.

Can we just do the Gorilla vs Gracken please, just one last time?

Well i feel a bit dissapointed that you dont thank the fans who always believed in you :/
You can make much more with poker anyway and the lack of hughe succes should wake you up and make you believe there are much better way to make a lot of money.

Jinro, you inspired me to get better at SC2, and I will never forget when I met you at MLG Orlando, it was an incredibly awkward photo but I am still amazed that I got to meet my foreigner hero that I got to see in Korea on GSL. I wish you all the best in your years to come in your non-progamer endeavors friend.

I always hoped that Jinro could deliver one more deep run in any major tournament. After he beat MC, he even comforted him, but in a good way.
