In sc2, yes.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Awwwww....that's a great picture. You can really tell Jinro is happy to be back home. Too bad we probably won't get that kind of coverage here in America. Only way I see the mainstream media paying attention to SC2 is if Idra rages so hard that he pulls out a gun and starts killing people at a major tournament.

It's in the printed version by the way
My friend showed it to me this afternoon. It was pretty funny with the "Best starcraft 2 player in the world!*"
*Outside of Korea
hahaha I guess by foreigner accomplishments in GSL that's somewhat true.

He's coming back for the Dreamhack Stockholm Invitational thing. It's got a TSL prize pool and is pretty huge. All of the like 400 tickets sold out in 2 days T.T

Hell yeah! Sweden better be into Starcraft, look at their National Team: Jinro, Sjow, Sase, Naniwa, Thorzain, Morrow, Haypro, Lalush, and a bunch of others. But it's great to see this growing.

This is really really awesome. Its great to see such positive attention brought to a worthy player. To have even a small article link this in something thats quite mainstream is fantastic, and will help e-sports grow.

Its great to see that the attention has been put into the right place, Jinro is the perfect person to live up to the "hometown hero" persona.

Congratulations Jinro, good luck at Dreamhack!

I assume they mean sc2 and not sc1+sc2? Even though they say 'highest level in the "Starcraft"-hot South Korea.'
wow
