With League Champions Korea 2015 Spring kicking off tonight between SK Telecom T1 and NaJin e-mFire, the rosters for the eight premiere Korean teams are still in flux. Liquid Legends can report that allegedly Xenics' standout top laner, Lee 'Sky' Kyung-min, has transferred over to the Jin Air Green Wings organization after failing to qualify for Champions Korea with Xenics.

Sky's debut performance during the G-Star Champions Korea qualifiers was one of the best in League of Legends history, finishing 4-0-12 on Maokai with 100% Kill Participation in a winning effort versus Incredible Miracle. Unfortunately, Xenics didn't fare as well in their next two games, losing to both the GE Tigers and Prime.

The Jin Air Green Wings enter Champions Korea 2015 Spring with a promising roster looking to take one of the top spots in the standings. Sky will be partnered in the top lane with Yeon 'TrAce' Chang-dong, thought of as one of the most underrated players in all of Champions. TrAce is considered by many to be the best Dr. Mundo in the entire professional League of Legends scene.

Jin Air will open their Champions Korea campaign in two days against the GE Tigers. No word on if Lee 'Sky' Kyung-min will be officially on the roster or play.

Jin Air Green Wings:


kr Top: Lee 'Sky' Kyung-min
kr Top: Yeon 'TrAce' Chang-dong

kr Jungle: Lee 'Chaser' Sang-hyun

kr Mid: Lee 'GBM' Chang-seok

kr ADC: Lee 'Cpt Jack' Chang-seok
kr ADC: Na 'Pilot' Woo-Hyung

kr Support: Lee 'XD' Eun-teak

Nice pick up, but they really need new mid laner. Fly comeback please.

Strange that they would be looking for a replacement for an acceptable player like Trace. I'd have hoped they'd work on getting a mid laner with less shallow champion pool.

Yeah exactly, this is not the pick up they really needed I think.

I kind of want to believe in GBM, but Jin Air would definitely be much improved with a new mid.

It'll be interesting to see if they play him or not as I still think TrAce can perform as well as he did in Champions Summer. But yeah, Jin Air really need a new mid if they want to place well this split.

As cool as TrAce is, I think he's just kind of getting to that point where he's losing effectiveness. Sky should bring a little refreshing to the team. They won't win anything with GBM in the mid lane, but it should be a nice pick up. The entire roster has kind of hit their skill ceiling so getting new, fresh players in will be a good thing.

Its really toss up on this one . On one hand you have trace , veteran who proved himself as solid toplaner and reliable but is old and is prolly near the end of his career. Meanwhile Sky is up and coming raw player who people hype up and can improve for sure . Id pick Sky beacuse I think he has much room for growth and improvement over Trace

Trace didn't play well in pre season, so getting alternative is great for them. Also Trace is pretty old.

I actually thought Trace's play was actually pretty decent, but presumably Sky can do better. Trace is also pretty old for esports standards

I hope they actually implement a rotating roster, since Trace made a big impression with some off-meta picks when he first debuted. His play was kind of fun to watch but has stagnated a bit. Hopefully this lets him focus on some niche picks.

TL is going to start covering the KR scene regularly?

OOOOOH MAN. NOW I'LL UNDERSTAND THE ROSTER SWAPS WHEN I WATCH OGN. :O

and they took the tired suggestion of focusing on KR. doubleplusgood

Raphael is off to somewhere new. No clue about Drizzle. I think Road might have retired.

Well-deserved, Road.
Still, CJ, you're commiting a crime.
Not like it's first time but still.

To be honest, if the CJ news I hear is true, LL and Reddit are going to have a meltdown.

I love CJ.
