All 4 players received minimal playing time during the 2015 Proleague season, though Terminator had served as team captain since the T8 days. This leaves Jin Air with only 5 active players: Maru, sOs, Cure, Rogue, and Trap.

Edit: According to Jin Air, their contracts expired and they decided not to extended. So they are full free agents; they can sign with another team and play in Proleague next season.

Just checked the stats, they got very few chances to play in Proleague : Symbol played 5 games, Check 2, Pigbaby 3 and Terminator only 1. Maybe it's better for them to leave, I hope they'll find a new team.

Let's hope they have a better plan than "find some foreign team" or retire... because that's what most of them did last time.

Isn't there that one team in Korea that was interested in picking up foreign players? I think these four would do well as the starting line-up...

I find it odd how little terminator got PL time. He seemed decent but was never really given the chance.

Good luck to all four. It's too bad to see Terminator leaving -- when he beat Taeja late last year in the starleague qualifiers I expected to see more of him this year. At least Pigbaby got his championship, albeit while not on JAGW.

Agreed. Terminator especially had good results in GSL and SSL season 1 and despite that got no opportunities in Proleague.

Wait... Did they arbitrarily leave or were they allowed to leave according to their contracts? This many players leaving a single team at the same time leads me to believe it is the latter of the two situations, but if they all chose to leave and break their contracts, does that mean they can't compete in Pro League again?

considering the situation it may be possible that this rule may have been either changed or even abandoned, maybe in an attempt to create a balanced 8th team with all stars and all that you'd have to have good players like rain and parting to make up for that.

bo7 doesn't make any sense considering SPL now has the monday/tuesday slot as opposed to the weekend slot. bo5 is fine.

I think we will have Bo5 2016 PL just based on Production and what Spotv can accommodate?
If they keep it on Mon/Tues like this year, then yeah, I think Bo5 will still happen.

I'm thinking the latter as well? Contracts with the team ended and either the team or players chose not to renew / agree to new terms?

I assume some of those players were painted on that Jin Air plane, so that'll be an interesting paintjob now.

Sad to see only Cure left out of the original founding players from Team 8.

Not very surprising considering that they barely got to play under Jin Air. I'm really sad for Terminator though, he seemed like a good captain. He appeared kinda out of nowhere in the S1 Starleague and actually turned out to be cool guy, then disappeared again. He will be missed. Who will Maru hug now? :c

Ooooooo I wonder who they'll pick up. Not too sure of which A-team/B-team names are out there (other than Creator). It'll be an interesting few months to see what happens.

Would be sick to see Creator join Jin Air and rolfstomp nerds again.....

This is definitely the result of having a Bo5 league. No opportunities for the little guys to play. Bo7 for the next Proleague please!!

With that many players gone, I guess the chances of Bo7 for Proleague next year are practically gone sadly. But I do hope to see a couple of guys go to Jin Air, maybe one of the remaining Axiom fellas like Alicia, or Crank as a coach. Creator would also be great though.

Hopefully they pick up at least 2 new players. 7 player squads sounds about right for a Bo5 format.

bo7 doesn't make any sense considering SPL now has the monday/tuesday slot as opposed to the weekend slot. bo5 is fine.

Oh PigBaby. That's a name I haven't heard mentioned in a while. But I remember him specifically because he was THE toss that was rofl slapping Taeja around in WCS when Taeja was considered GOD TIER. And he did it with nothing but mass observers and freaking gateway units. But yea wish these guys the best.

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).

They are all good players but didn't do anything for their team in Proleague in 2015.

Check was 1-1.
Pigbaby was 1-2.
Symbol was 1-3.
Terminator was 0-1.

I can see why Jin Air Green Wings let them go. With Terminator and Check retired, maybe Pigbaby or Symbol will find a place in a new 8th Team.

Ouch, this hurts, especially Terminator leaving, he always seemed like the best captain. He always looked out for his team and helped them with build orders and such. I genuinely thought after GSL and SSL season one we might see more of him in the booth

Best of luck in the military Check and Terminator!

They used PigBaby in some of the later rounds, so a bit surprised.
Always thought Check had huge potential. MB DRG, Check and Symbol can make some kind of Zerg only team..

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.

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).

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.

By given up you mean Yoda and B4 were matchfixing and TangTang isn't really proleague level

I'd love to see Keen and Creator get a shot on Jinair, I think Keen showed he can still be a Code S level player in the last few weeks, with nothing to play for and team mates and a coach that didn't care he was still giving it his best

I have no idea if Creator wants to join a PL team or

Didn't realise Myungsik wasn't a free agent so he's out I guess and as awesome as DRG would be he's headed to a non-Korean team probably. They do need another Zerg, maybe Leenock? But he never really regained his best form in this most recent season of PL. Assuming DRG is off the table I can't think of anyone better to add than some combo of Keen/Creator/Leenock since they'll need a couple more players to have some depth to their team for next round

Whoever the 8th PL team ends up being should def consider picking up Symbol and Pigbaby, they can both play well and with LOTV coming out who knows which players are going to be the best 6 months from now in the new meta

Meh. Bisu is out (or back depends on your pov). Stork is coaching. The rule don't apply no more.

If you follow SC2 (i think you do as much as BW but i might be mistaken) Life is pretty Starpowery with Stats and Flash next to him so i'm not sure about that.

But sure it would be really better if they could face each other. Flash vs Stork was a treat to watch even if the games were not always really good. And i don't want Symbol :p

TBLS was Taek Bang lee Ssang ? I'm not sure i remember the acronym really well.
