Jinro!

But you won against them, crushed them hard, it gave me so much inspiration to play SC2, i later switched to terran because of it, and i have always been watching your stream cheering you on, even though you did not always post the best results i loved following your career and your play.
You may not think much about this, but for many of your fans, you will truly be remembered as an amazing player and a great personality that was loved in the community! For me it did not really matter if you won a tournament or not, even though i always wanted you to win i just wanted to see you play! I think that's what people forget about the game, its not just all about who wins a certain tournament, when you find a player you really like and follow it sticks with you a long time, and you will truly be missed.
If you are leaving Starcraft, then leave with pride! From being one of the first Swedes to get so far in Korea, to your GSL results and winning a MLG. Keep your head up and good luck in poker!
Jinro HWAITING! I think that's the root of the problem; the inability to see the game as anything beyond a measure of worth based on winning/losing. When you -- and others -- say something like "the results didn't matter that much, just wanted to see the games", I recognize it as something I've felt when watching other sports (like MMA or BW), but it's alien to my mind about SC2. Like I think the first thought I had when reading that was "But whats the point if I dont win?". It's true. When SC2 was new I didn't miss a single GSL match because there were always new things to discover in the game. Nowadays when the game has been figured out, it is obvious that it isn't that great of a game. SC2 is kept alive solely because of it being the successor to Brood War, the game itself is too volatile to be interesting. I still kind of follow the scene, but I rarely watch games since they always play out the same way. There are of course exceptions, like DRG-MMA or other amazing matchups. But those are incredibly rare and are, more often than not, exciting because of the hype-factor rather than amazing games.
I respectively disagree.

Give it time, you'll understand soon enough.

gg's Jinro!
I'll never forgive you for the bunker block against IdrA (T_T), but I truly loved watching you make history in the GSL. Best of luck in the future!
|
Best of luck Jinro! Been cheering for you for a while.
This turnover happens in all sports- eSports needs to have the same post-competition career path as other major sports: either as a caster, analyst, coach, etc.
|
Jinro we'll miss you!!!! Thanks for everything!
|
GG sir. I enjoyed watching you play SC2. I was really hoping to see you in the GSL at least one more time.

I think SC2 is a great game and I still have fun playing it...... It's not the games fault at all.
I think BW is better, but not by such a big margin. It's one of those 'it's not you, it's me' situations

Wow. Not entirely unexpected perhaps, but still sucky.
Jinro man, I've loved you (GSL runs), I've hated you (I'm a Greg fan, what can I say), but mostly I've just enjoyed the games you gave us. Thanks for those and for a look into how the ride's been from your perspective.
GLHF man, chin up (ha), it's been a good run.

Gl and hf in your next career, Gorilla Terran <3
You'll always be remembered!
|
It is a sad day indeed.
You were the great swede hope!
I mean, we have had great players rise and fall, but you were special in some way.. had that star quality.
Good luck with the poker, hope to meet ye at a table

Awww
I always wanted to see him play with a smile on his face after the 2 GSL Semi-finals, but that didn't happen for some reason.
Still thou, he'll be remembered as the coolest Teran player to watch at one point of StarCraft 2's history, when SCV trains and 10 minutes TvX games were the standard.
Best of luck Jinro ! :D
|
best luck with your plans, Jinro!
|
I woke up hoping this was a bad dream and not going to be here. Still here, Best of luck Jinro in the future.
|
♥ you Jinro! May you achieve your sc2 heights in all of your endeavors!
- Does this mean TL has room for a youngster? These are big shoes to fill!

But the game can't be solely kept alive just because it's a successor to BW.
A very large portion of SC2 fans probably have never played nor seen a BW match before. It all comes down to opinions and what someone finds interesting. Anyways, this is not related to Jinro's message so I won't continue much further.
