This is awesome for Jin Air if Avenge can play in SPL as well as he did in GSTL. If he can, he's immediately their second-best Protoss behind sOs (sorry Terminator and Pigbaby). Between Maru/Cure/Rogue/TRUE/sOs/Avenge, JA now has a sick lineup in all three races.

Unless I'm mistaken, i believe someone said in the Alive Thread that pigbaby retired so I guess this is to replace him :D

GL to Avenge and Jin Air!

Well we don't know what he's even getting paid, and if so, for how much. and i'm like 99% positive that he would of had to practice with the team for like a day or so for them to see where his skill level was at.

Does he have an alternative ID? I didn't follow the Korean SC2 scene a few periods in time and never heard of this guy.

edit: Probably not, can't find anything else on him on Liquipedia

Korean pros un-retiring seems to be the big thing right now. Hyvaa qualified for Code A, TheBest qualified for the last Code A, sC appears to be in a consistent state of semi-retirement, now we have Avenge joining KeSPA out of pretty much nowhere. Congrats to Jin Air on their acquisition.

He wasn't really known player. Only success he had really was in GSTL and he was really dangerous opponent there. Never been big startale fan but I felt that he was one of the most dangerous protoss players there was at the time.

E: Also great for Jin Air! If Avenge can show same strong performance as he did for StarTale, he will be force to be reckon in PL! Maru/sOs/Rogue/Avenge that's really solid lineup (+ Cure and TRUE)!

I remember him, he was great. And now in Jin Air? If he plays that good in proleague, I can see them winning the next season again.

I was saying this in the aLive thread when someone posted about it there but I think this is a really good pick up for Jin Air. Overall their roster is so small that they could really just use any Korean pros to add depth but I definitely think Protoss was where they were the weakest so good luck to Avenge

'sup, this is Avenge. He just qualified for Code A and is facing Idra in the next round. Huh? You actually think Idra has a chance against this guy? Let me break it down for you. Avenge beat Hack to make it into Code A. Hack recently beat Polt in a Korean Weekly. Polt destroyed MMA in the Super Tournament finals. MMA destroyed MVP in the GSL October finals.

Which means that Avenge is ten times better than MVP. Do you really think Idra can beat someone ten times better than MVP? Go to bed, Idrones.

For those who aren't familiar with Avenge, one of my favorite games of his (against Leenock from last year's WCS KR S3 U&D matches):

His retirement was pretty abrupt considering he was starting to make waves. Good to know he's back even though I never root for protoss players.

Considering Pigbaby joined Team 8 during the awkward BW-SC2 transition period (he was a beast amateur during BW), I'm not too surprised.

I honestly think it's a good time for him to come back. Protoss isn't bat at the moment and he was always a rather talented player. If he can find his groove he should have a good shot at becoming a solid player once again.

Well if you were going to join one KeSPA team atm, I would think Jin Air would be high on the list.
