I'll miss you! Good luck with the poker! <3


I'm sure it's been said, I don't feel like reading 100 pages but the reference at the end is to Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, I think!

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.


I think the more relevant point is that it is extremely difficult to have the same motivation when starting over in a new game. SC2 will be the third game that Jinro tried after BW and Poker. A lot of the BW players who were successful have motivation problems. The ones with more motivation are the ones who didn't taste much success. Jinro is obviously not a BW superstar like the Boxers and the Nadas, but he played both BW and Poker long enough that it was difficult for him to play SC2 to the same degree for a long time.

I was about to write something like: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO plz don't do it, IT CAN'T BE TRUE!!!" even before i read the statement.

Now i feel different though. He is clearly doing what he feels is best for him and i totally respect that.

To me you're a legend Jonathan "Jinro" Walsh. Gl hf in whatever you do from now on! <3

I was so in love with Jinro's play during the early days of the GSL, his terran style (strong economy and lots of activity all over the map) were so much fun to watch and were a precursor to other amazing play styles like MMA and Ryung. I rooted for him for a long time in 2011, and then eventually moved on because it was too painful to see a guy who had so much potential keep psyching himself out of games I thought he could win (*cough* Idra).

At any rate, Jinro you will always have a fond place in my SC2 memories for carrying the foreigner banner for a while, for your increasingly awesome hair, and for just being a Swedish badass. Best of luck in the rest of your endeavors!!

All this time I thought people just caught up to him. I never once thought he lost his passion. I bet if he had that past passion, he'd be foreign Taeja.
