Jinro, it's sad that you're retiring, but thank you so much for the memories. Downing beers and shouting at the TV with a bunch of nerd-bros as you beat MC in the first code S, is an e-sports moment that's unlikely to ever be surpassed for me. GG, and GLHF.

Good luck Jinro. I've never cheered for someone as much as i did when u had ur 2 epic GSL runs. You are one of the reasons i started playing sc2 more seriously, your macro-oriented style was so refreshing in those early GSLs which were full of all ins.

It felt as the world was agreeing to a silent minute as i was reading this.

An era goes to an end, Jinro the frontier will always be remembered in starcraft history.

Not hard to believe this is real, but still extremely sad. I'll never forget staying up until ridiculous hours in the morning to watch you play in the GSL. You were the reason I stuck with Terran, and I'm deeply saddened by this.

Ah Jinro, I still remember those games, when you got so far in the GSL, that day, oh that day...
Writing an essay here would not be enough to say what I want to say, so...

All the best Jonathan!!

He couldn't follow those top pro players, so I guess he'll have less pressure this way.

Good luck Jinro!

Thank you for all the awesome moments you gave us, making us tremble on the edges of our chairs, jumping up in joy or shedding tears of sadness. Gorilla Terran Fighting!

I just had to login to say. Goodbye Jinro! I will always remember watching you play in the GSL during the early days of sc2. You were truly a pioneer of the sc2 esports scene and will be missed. Best of luck to you in the future.

Quitting SC2 for Poker is like packing your bags and moving accross the street. You'll be missed but I don't see why you can't be an "American" star and move into a frat house like EG and play poker most of the time and practice a little a week. The sponsors only care if the people they sponsor are famous in the community as is evidenced by Idra's EG profile.

But farewell and best of luck in poker. Don't forget us and all that, i'm sure we won't forget you and your pictureesque long face probably at some point will show up in an e-sports dictionary or encyclopedia in the future. Good luck dude, may the force be with you.

Thanks for a lot of enjoyment and entertainment. I still get nerd-chills when thinking about you vs MC on lost temple when you went mech. Good luck in your new life!

Never felt so involved and emotionally touched by a e-sports event as when you had the amazing gsl runs. I talked to much about it at work, we ended up watching your games together on our tv at work and people that never seens starcraft cheered for you and sweden, just like now in the olympics when we win medals in weird sports u'll never bothered with. But your still proud as hell over your fellow swedes =)

glhf in life!
