They used PigBaby in some of the later rounds, so a bit surprised.

I'll be blunt: his performance in the Grand Finals didn't warrant keeping him around.

Bad news. If Jinair doesn't hire some new blood we can consider this a severe cut in their expenses (as opposed to players leaving due to little playing time).


Or you can look at the facts as they are, people retiring to go to the military, instead of jumping to conclusions.

Maybe I should've expressed my concerns differently. I doubt it though, we'll see.

Edit: The fact that some are going to do their mandatory military service doesn't mean that that's the reason why they're retiring btw.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

As a Jinair fan it makes me sad since I like all of them but they have a much better chance of getting gametime joining another team, or looking for a spot on the 'new team 8' if there's a mercenary outfit in place

Always been a big fan of Symbol shame he has yet tor recapture his WOL form, maybe in LOTV

I always thought Terminator has a lot of potential too but he never really lived up to it. He was actually the captain from memory, although I assume that title will probably go to sOs now, Maru would be fine too but given he's a lot younger i'd assume they'll give it to sOs. Maybe we'll see Terminator again after military service.

Pigbaby was always amusing as a Myungsik style cheese artist

Check is well.... yeah. Even as a JinAir fan I can't say Check made any impact on me, he played badly in his few PL games and I wouldn't be surprised if retirement is permanent for him.

Symbol and Pigbaby are potentially good pickups for other teams though and it frees up roster space for Jinair to sign 1-2 up and coming prospect more players to join their core of sOs/Maru/Rogue/Trap/Cure

Pretty crazy that they only have 5 players on the roster; although all 5 are legit proleague level players - i'd assume they'll sign 1-3 more before the LOTV season

Keen was displaying a lot of upside late in the season, he'd be an okay pickup if they need a third terran, but they probably need a second zerg the most as a priority; DRG would be a good fit but I think he wants a foreign team from memory. I'd be ok with them signing Leenock too, but they'd better stay the hell away a certain protoss ex flash wolf who is also a free agent for obvious reasons. Resigning TRUE would be cool too.

They could always use one more protoss too, Creator would be a good bet and has history with Maru on Prime before Prime became the worst thing to happen to proleague ever. I'd actually be okay with Myungsik to replace Pigbaby in the protoss sniper role too

Wishlist (free agents only)

#1 DRG, #2 Creator, #3 Keen, #4 Myungsik

I hope they make plays for DRG and Creator, that would round out a great 7 player lineup to head into LOTV

I think both of them have very high skill ceilings and with a properly funded team and elite practice partners both could have a 50%+ winrate in PL moving forward (pretty sure DRG already did this season with Sbenu)

Well damn, but thankfully non of my favourites among them. Although I would've loved to see more of Check. I wonder where they will end up and who replaces them for Jin Air. They won't just keep it at 5 players right?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

It is sad to see all these guys leaving the team, good practice partners, probably good friends ... I was happy, they were in the team with the three stars ... but of course, they did not get play time ... Sorry to see PigBaby leaving as his style was fitting nicely into the "non-standard play" of the three ...

And sad to see the "giving up" and going to the military. So good luck guys in your future lifes!

DRG does want to join a team that allows him to play in WCS, and I doubt the Green Wings would. Also Myungsik isn't a free agent.

Kinda logic since those players didn't find much playtime (in the case of Terminator, despite good individual results).

hopefully they're signing within proleague... foreign teams aren't recruiting much from what it seems

you know that old kinda unspoken rule of no one from TBLS should be in the same team?

I'm pretty sure its still in effect on the account of this rule being based on star power and not just skill.

Keen actually looked decent at the end of round 4 of Proleague, even when his teammates in Prime seemed to have all given up. I wouldn't mind seeing him added to the roster of Jin Air Green Wings.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.
