Hey Jinro: I hope you read this.

My roommate is the most incapable gamer of all time, and had no interest in strategy games. But a little over a year ago, you beat MC in the GSL... and even though my roommate had no idea what the units were, who the players were, or anything that a regular TL-er would know about the game, he went APESHIT and said that was the sickest thing he'd seen in a long, long time. I'm an MC fan, so it sucked for me. But those are some damn good memories.

Thanks man.

Wow . . . never thought i would see the day. Truly I would've loved to see Jinro back in form but I guess what it wasn't meant to be. Thanks for showing us some great sc2 Jinro - surely will not be forgotton.

Good luck Jinro!!! We'll all miss you <3

Jinro you will always be the FruitDealer of Foreign Dominance and Success. There may be a time when a foreigner wins a GSL, but you will always be the first foreigner to show that the koreans are indeed very mortal. You've been an inspiration to many, many people and I hope that you find happiness in whatever it is you choose to do next

jinro is a name that will always be remembered with sc2 history. won an MLG, back to back semi finals, to this day no foreigner has done any such thing. in terms of results, 2 GSL semi finals trumps any other achievement.

Jinro used to play with Korean clans in SC1, before he played for money. He's been a TL moderator since the dawn of time at a young age. He dropped out of school so he can pursue progaming. Winner of MLG Dallas; One of the first "Third generation" Foreigners to make it to Korea; And arguably the most successful after the space suit era. And now he's in Code B, the butt of several unfunny jokes, his GSL run is more reminisced than celebrated, and his two GSTL appearances this season were quite demoralizing. He lived in the oGs house for two years, only for his new home to be disbanded. He's practiced hard for two years, his ladder account showing close to 1000 games one season, only to burn out and lose motivation with early exits from tournaments. He's doing martial arts in Korea, he's commentating in LR threads once in a while, he's stopped streaming.

He's stated in a couple interviews about possibly retiring.

I want to know more about him, how he feels about all of this, what his plans are right now, what his mindset is, and just hear more about him.

Please JP if you're reading, make it happen.
