Code A isnt the end of the world though even MVP had to battle his way through code A. And who knows if he will make it back in code S.... | ||

You can see from his reactions that he cares A LOT about his defeats. Sometimes you just practice too hard or you are too much into developing new strategies and styles that you gonna lose your focus. Such things can happen to the best. | ||

It's all a mental state.. I don't think for a second that Jinro or Huk would win all his games against drewbie in a best of 7. They would lose just as likely. | ||

Drewbie is no where near Jinro/Huk level, let alone top korean level. | ||

You talk like if your statement was true and proven, notwithstanding the fact that often it's the hype and exposure what changes the perception of skill of a player rather than the skill itself. Just look at the results of the last MLG.. I really don't think you can say Huk did perform in a whole other level as compared to drewbie.. they finished one-off from each other. | ||

They've taken games off each other in the past, off the top of my head, I can remember Drewbie beating Huk in a series and Huk doing the same to Drewbie. Drewbie is a top level player just as well, his focus is just on NA so far. | ||

Yeah, it's amazing how the fanboy mentality has become so predominant in these forums.. people talk so much shit and look down on the skills of certain playerss just because they are not hyped enough, they don't look cool or they don't cuss enough in their streams. | ||

Hah. Anyway... ya, the whole high rating for zergs that win in a macro game will always be a part of TL.  On topic... I'm sad to see Jinro go, and quite surprised by San leaving, but I guess he doesn't have the best PvP. I really would have rather seen him stay than Tester, since Tester hasn't done much in a long while... then again not really any Protoss has other than MC (and a little bit from AnyPro and San). Inca doesn't count. :-| | ||

He needs another MLG win or equal to boost his confidence back to where it should be. | ||

HuK is the same imo. He rose to Code S on the back of some very good luck and Protoss at that time owning everybody and ppl were trying to figure out how to beat Protoss. Now that Zerg and Terran have figured out how to handle/beat the Protoss deathball and the early 4-gate HuK is having a tough time. I would also say that confidence and frustration played a part in Jinro and HuK's decline in form over the past few months. Like any sport, confidence and the feeling of playing at ease knowing that you have a slight advantage, whether it is because of home ground, slight race imbalance etc, has a psycological effect on not only the player but on his opponent as well which affects the way they play, ie less mistakes, confidence to be the attacker or to try a new build, better timing etc. Now in the past few months, Jinro and HuK have played in a few online tournaments and crashed out. Whether it was because of Korean lag (which they now refuse to participate in online tournaments that do not accomodate them), getting up early in the morning to play games, lack of time to practice with all the travelling and GSL's tight schedule etc. This has affected their confidence and has frustrated them quite a bit as evident by the tone of their posts in recent months. Hopefully they can get out of the slump and I believe that they will. I think the only way to do it is, like every other sport out there, to dig deep and practice harder than everybody. So in conclusion to my post, even though I said in another post that I stopped supporting Liquid players because of the whole shebang with the Idra issue I miss the old Jinro and HuK who used to smile and joke around a lot on camera and on the forums. Good luck to them and hope they can keep the foreigner flag flying in GSL (oh darn i forgot to talk about the pressure for them representing the foreigner scene in GSL and representing one of the most followed e-sports team in the whole world). | ||

It's just being outplayed, that's it. Good luck to Jinro in the next season, hopefully he will do better. | ||
