Oh man, good games, good games.

SC2 indeed dried up quite a bit since the last year. I hope the negative sum game treats you better than this one. Don't lose your fortune

Scary times.

How many SC2 players retired this year? And how many will?

Good luck, Jinro.

While Jinro and other pros might not like to hear it, I think jinro's retirement has the beneficial effect of setting the precedent for other pros that it's "okay" to retire. I would compare this to my decision to cancel my law school plans even after being accepted. The investment is simply not worth the low chance of reward in an oversaturated market. There are scores of highly skilled progamers (and smart law students) who dedicate A LOT of time to the pursuit of success. The Koreans literally sacrifice their lives for Starcraft. I think it's can be a sign of intelligence and wisdom to change courses from a path you previously committed to.

Good point, but I think it's also about enjoying what you do, that's so important. I'm sure you cancelled your law school plans because you didn't like it that much after all, not just because the market is oversaturated, right?

On one hand, it's sad to hear that, but on the other hand, if that is the choice that makes you happy, then we're happy for you too. Best of luck in the future!

Seeing that there are 89 pages of comments on this is brilliant! A good farewell for an awesome gamer, good luck with whatever you do Jinro
The problem with the world is that fools are full of certainty, and wise men are full of doubt.
