???


She's a fan of starcraft.

Not to mention that she's gotten her father to sponsor two OSL's as Korean Air and one more as Jin Air. I hope this investment will last for the long term.

Though, whenever I think of GW, I think of gonewild :s
Or Guild Wars. Preferably Guild Wars.

you don't understand why these companies are doing it. they're not doing it because they expect a return in profits, they want to raise their image and have people associate them with the young hardworking faces they idolize.


one of the daughters of the Korean Air owning conglomerate is a famously devoted esports fan


i was speaking broadly. still, 3 osls and a team sponsorship... pretty good :V

Finally they found a sponsor!
One more to come, KeSPA deciding to add LoL to the PL sure made waves.

Now I wonder if they are going to keep JD or let EG

Woo! Great news!

Hopefully they'll be able to afford a few more players so the core players can have more practice partners to help them with builds and preparations.

It's going to be weird calling them the Green Wings. I've gotten so used to calling them Team 8. =(

I imagine it'll be a little like Losira --> Kangho.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

being supported by a passionate rich person is almost as good as being supported by korean criminals, but not quite.

Does this mean Jaedong is going back to team 8? Wasn't he only on lease with EG until team 8 found a real sponsor? Or was that a rumor? God I want Jaedong to be on a real team so bad so he can show us his true potential.


At this point why would Jaedong even want to go back?

The team is named "8th Team" in first place because they were the 8TH TEAMin Proleague. Not team 8.

Congratulations to Former T8!

I wonder if this type of sponsorship if locked in for a longer time period than just one year. If so, horray, new permanent-ish sponsorship!

Stop being such a pedant, Team 8/8th Team are interchangeable and the first one is easier to say.
