Jonathan 'Jinro' Walsh was knocked out from GSL yesterday, having to settle with the same top 4 result that he had last season. Nevertheless, this is quite an impressive performance, Jinro being considered by many to be one of the best Terrans in the world. In this interview, Jinro talks about yesterday's games, his mindset, as well as what the future holds for him in Korea.

Jinro's opinion about what happened against MarineKingPrime

"Hm, well I was definitely outplayed in the last game, in the Jungle Basin game I just messed up really hard because I got overenthusiastic when my marines were killing his depot :D . In the Steppes game, I got a bit overeager to end it too, and then his good defense bit me in the ass. Game 1 went according to plan, except for him getting siege tanks - didn't expect that."

His regrets in this season

"Winning TvP with mech on TV was a very nice feeling. I regret losing games I should have won, such as vs Check and the first match against MarineKing, which led to team mates getting knocked out. I also regret not setting my goal as winning the tournament and nothing else (I had a goal of making it back to the semis), as during the semis I didn't feel nearly as nervous as during any other game, which isn't good - it indicates I didn't want the win enough."

Goals for next season

"To win and only to win. Both this and the last GSL my goals weren't victory focused enough - for GSL 1, I wanted code S and when I played the semis I was kinda expecting to lose. For GSL 2, I wanted to prove my last run wasn't a fluke so once I got to the semis, I wasn't really expecting to lose but I was a bit too... satisfied I guess."
