You're the only player I've ever set an alarm to watch. For the MC match, I didn't even need it. I woke up unassisted like a child full of wondrous anticipation. Couldn't go back to sleep afterwards either. You're certainly the biggest reason I developed a passion for following SC2.

You're destined for more greatness, and I look forward to hearing about it when you find it.

Thanks for the memories.

Any chance of you streaming poker?

Beta ended in June 2010.
I peaked in January 2011.

Good math.

Haters gotta hate.

Don't listen to it, you played enjoyable games. Enjoy wherever life takes you.

PS: I'm turning into more of a poker player than an SC player myself. Any plans to persue that again? The competition is so high now.

This was just amazing to read. Both the post from Jinro, and from Nazgul.
Truly inspirational stuff!

Thanks for all the good streams and good games! Best of luck in the future!

Don't listen to crap like that! Even though I'm a Zerg fanboy I can't help but respect the mighty Jinro. Good luck in the future!

Hehe, in some threads it could have bothered me, but there's too many nice posts around here for me to care much

I just think it's funny for him to say beta, when my beta results were really bad ^^

In my head it was always like "there is jinro and the koreans and then one step down skillwise there is the rest of the world" even though latest results disagreed. Good luck in your journey!

Makes me feel very proud to hear that

A very touching moment and read.

But I dont understand why you want to start playing poker again. You have spent so many hours in front of the PC and it doesnt sound as if that is still what makes you happy.

Anyway, it was a pleasure watching you play.

You always were my favourite player and will always be i always loved watching you're stream i hope you succeed in poker and whatever else you may want to do, sad to see you leave starcraft but what is more sad is the fact you wont ban that sucker that said you won't get back in to code A

Good luck Jonathan

any future plans? gonna grab a degree or maybe get a job unrelated to esports? gonna still participate in a spectator capacity?

No shame in quitting if you tried your hardest and didnt become the best. When you are old and esports isnt that big of a deal to you , you will look back at these years where you spent every ounce of your focus on achieving a single goal and be proud of the act itself , rather than the achievement. At least you had the courage to "all-in", and see how deep the rabbit hole goes

What an instrumental figure in Starcraft 2's early days. He was the best non korean and gave me personally some of my most memorable moments watching pro gaming. My passion and interest in SC2 was at it's peak when Jinro was also at his and perhaps that makes my memories even greater than reality, maybe. This also made the fall off all the more hard to watch. Everytime I saw Jinro was going to play I thought, "This time, this is Jinro's return". Everytime. Even until this very day I would have thought the same damn thing. There were too many games and series that made me believe in Jinro even when I didn't want to.

Anyway, good luck Jinro. I hope you do well and I hope you stick around here for a long time to come.

Loved watching you play Jinro. Those times during the MLG and GSL runs were really something special. Goodluck with everything and I'm sure we'll be seeing you around

Will you still be watching SC2 and hanging around the forums? I love finding idiotic posts that people writing and seeing that that the person who made them look silly was you
