jjakji the GSL Champ has decided to leave the Swiss team, mYinsanity.
Today we have a very sad piece of news to share with you all. One of the key figures in the development of our StarCraft 2 roster and a cherished member of our family will be departing the team. Today, mYinsanity says goodbye to Jjakji as he begins his search for opportunities on a KeSPA team.
As soon as Jjakji joined our ranks, he proved just how important a player he would be to us with a top 6 finish in GSL right off the bat. While Jjakji never claimed a title while he was on mYinsanity, he became one of the most consistent performers in the foreign tournament circuit, attending 17 premier tournaments under the mYinsanity banner. 2014 in particular was a great year for him as Jjakji claimed the runner up spot at Dreamhack Moscow as well as two semifinal finishes in IEM Sao Paulo and the WCS Europe Premier League Season 1 and 4th place at Dreamhack Winter.
In team leagues, Jjakji became the undisputed ace of the team. Boasting an incredible 62-15 win record in team leagues, he was in no small part the reason we were able to participate in the Acer Teamstory Cup 3, netting 9 of the 10 wins that qualified us (including an all kill against the now defunct IvD Gaming). For a long time, mYinsanity was referred to as Team Jjakji; such was his influence on our team.
We wish Jjakji all the best on the next step of his journey. He has been a fantastic member of our family and we will miss him greatly.

I'm thinking either Sbenu or Prime - Sbenu seems more likely but Prime would be much better.

Really, really hoping it's Prime (although it's unlikely) - it would do Proleague so much more good than him joining any other team TT
|
wow I would love to see jjakji doing well again, he's been off for a while, he should be able to win some games in proleague!
|
Prime or SBENU Holding out for Prime though

Do you remember when a certain player said he wanted a foreign team and joined MVP a few days later?
|

Can't be more excited for Friday's announcement. ^^
|
hopefully he'll join SBENU!
|
It's nice to hear he found a team. That guy has always had amazing potential and I hope he can still show great skill in Korea.
|
Hoping for either Prime or SBENU...
Prime could really do with a good solid pick up.
|
I really really hope this means we'll get to see more jjakji games in the near future!! Hope you find a new team soon jj

That's a sure way to get fielded every week, I guess.

While not on OP, it's already been said that jjakji has found a team.

Indeed. Hope I don't have to wait long for an announcement
|
I hope it's going to be Prime, but didn't SBENU announce that they were recruiting a few players?
|
damn, feels like he's been on myi for a long time. Good luck to jjakji!
|
Anyone else hoping that this fad of Korean escapism to Western teams will die out so Proleague can be more awesome?
|
Really hoping for Jjakji Prime. Though I liked his run with myi. Its going to be hard for them to replace him

If it is Prime then their roster will be very interesting considering other news.
|
He'll be in the bench for everyone but Prime, really.

|
It'll be SBENU, and MyInsanity will pick up Showtime methinks.
|
I'm Glad to see him back to a Korean team but I can't help but feel things are getting worse and worse outside of Korea..I do think the relative lack of foreign tournaments is a concerning issue

Just few hours b4 representing mYi in Clan Wars, I hope he will still play that match. mYi needs a good terran badly, hope they will recruit Happy and give him some coaching he needs so badly (such a good player doing dumb mistakes, could be on top if he fixed that) and major and force him to practice and go to tournaments he already got plane ticket for. Would love to see those two guys in teams that would augment their skills, they have both so much potential.
|
so sick that hes advancing ;D really nice for him
|
I feel like mYi deserves a lot of credit for jjakji's renaissance. He was an all but forgotten GSL champ from a dead team and somehow mYi, not a well-known team by any means at the time, identified his potential and made a great signing. I'm sad that neither jjakji nor Stardust are on their roster anymore but I have so much respect for that team's ability to bring together underrated talent.

Ok, so jjakji left mYinsanity few hours b4 he was supposed to represent them in the Clan Wars and gave them no heads up as they have to field last minute replacement, really disappointing behavior. Will definitely not cheer for either the player or the new team in near future.

And their "last minute replacement" was obviously well prepared and won his map, aswell.

They put the players up only week b4 the event, so 6 days b4 he left, they still didn´t know.

He could have told them any of the days after that. You're grasping straws here, trying to be negative for no apparent reason.

I´m not trying to be either positive or negative, just telling my opinion. He apparently told them any of the days after that, since we know that they didn´t know before and they definitely know now. What you are hinting at may be that such a behavior is not uncommon, which is probably correct and is reason why I have not called it bad, just expressed my disappointment.
