it's really odd that jinro hasn't really improved since his semifinal runs considering he never played any sort of abusive styles while there were smaller maps

really should relearn zerg timings better

don't know how he's practicing lately, but his push timings were just plain weird and too linear

maybe scan a bit more, make double facts when you see infestors coming

Maybe Jinro got a Korean girlfriend and likes cellphone games now.

Anyone else getting sick of all the units that reduces micro and turns everything into an a-move battle? Infestors/Forcefields etc, I seriously hope they add some units in HoTS that are actually good at locking down positions and makes the game balanced

You mean like siege tanks?

Anyone remember what Tyler said about judging Pro-Gamers on 1 or 2 games?

Stop being such assholes. You guys are acting like you just saw him fucking die on stage. He had some bad games. chillax

He's been doing bad for longer than 1 or 2 games.

Sad about Jinro but Tasteless and Artosis actually casting GSL for once is very welcome...

jinro is fine guys, he's just doing badly right now. hope he's more prepared come next GSL. It's strange, but he's played better before and he will be back on top of his game soon enough

i have faith in Jinro

Yeah he dropped out of Codes S r32, then Up and Down into Code A, then out R64 of this super tournament. 1-7 ( the only victory was to Zenio) and all his losses were to Zergs.

Jinro has lost 10 of his last 12 games. He is visibly desperate. His magic is lost. I hate to say it, but I expect Jinro to be knocked out of Code A and go back to Sweden.

Could people stop saying that it's time for Jinro to leave Korea now? Obviously he's not playing well and he knows that, but whether he stays or not is entirely up to him. Leaving the country won't make him a better player, only training harder / better will. He's had good results in the past and always seems like a great guy, so it just feels really insulting that people are armchair quarterbacking not only his games but his actual life. If you wanna help, just support him whatever he's doing. Don't try to act smart by saying you know what he should do better than he does, please.

Jinro hwaiting -- will be cheering for him again in Code A next season.

Poor Jinro. I knew his TvZ was awful, but I figured in between the Up/Downs and now he'd have time to solve it.

Try something besides marine tank, Jinro! If you can't beat standard Ling/Bling/Muta in a macro game.... you need to radically change your approach to the matchup. Because that's Z's bread and butter.

Keep that Chinro up though, you can pull out of this! Your TvT and TvP are still GREAT! You just haven't faced anything besides a freaking Zerg in foreeeeever.....

Lol @ the 50 million excuses.... he looks sick, Z imba, he doens't like korea anymore and it's affecting his playstyle...

Stop with the excuses. He played poorly. He clearly hasn't evolved with ZvT. He just doesn't get the matchup right now. He was the worse player by far in that series. Not even close...

When zerg wins, they look dominant. It doesn't matter if the zerg is Nestea or Line. If the zerg wins, most of the time, they look dominant, especially if the game drags out longer. The only time a zerg look bad is when they fall apart early on. This is why there are lot of zergs that are imo, overrated.

Its not only jinro , fyi most terran players seem to be so much on sided when it comes to tvz.

Like tartosis said for instance best thing to do is make a drop and snap the greater spire , sacrificing even couple of medvacs , so what its a huge blow on zerg after , whos has done that lately in a gsl tvz ?

Srsly i ve seen ladder games which are much better than gsl finals when it comes to tvz terms or terran strats.

why are people hating on jinro?

this line kid is like the next DRG he's pretty ridiculous imo. did you see him cover his entire main with creep? his macro was good and he didn't make any mistakes. the only thing you can fault him on is his creep spread in game 2 between his natural and 3rd/4th. he perfectly crushed jinro's drop/push game 2.

So he's the next kid who had a good gstl but actually hasn't achieved anything in a GSL? If you want to look at it from an individual standpoint Line has already surpassed DRG because he has qualified for code A twice. Also, just because you had a great GSTL doesn't mean you are going to be some GSL all star. MMA still can't get out of code A and he's been there for 2 seasons.
