I don't understand how you can look at these results and say the team was lacking. Trap and Cure had their focus elsewhere sure, but the big 3 did fine
I said Rouge did really good? I also said sOs still did well despite not being consistent at all just because of the tournaments he did well in were really good. The only of those three players you mentioned that I even though had a underwhelming year was Maru(since I don't value WESG that high cuz it wasn't a very stacked event, and he didn't do much in SSL, and for someone like Maru I think you would at least want him to get a better result than a GSL top4, even if that is a great placing for a more average player.
Even if you disagree with me on that, this was in the context of my full comment, where I pointed out that these placings combined with the nothing that you get out of the other 3 players(which I assume still are on the team and paid?) makes it weird to not add any other of the players that had a stronger year than pretty much every player on JAGW except maybe Rouge). Especially since there are many players that have more popularity or brand power than several players on JAGW.

If you look at it from a team persective Maru did fine. WeSG may not have been a difficult tournament but it was still one of the biggest esport events of the year, with him representing both Jin Air + korea as a whole. Plus advertising to a chinese audience is good for Jin Air as they run flights between them (I believe?). And although he didn't make SSL playoffs, just being able to play live every week is good exposure for the team, considering only 10 players get that per season now
As far as the others guys go, you can't just replace players because they do better or worse for a season. Given the success of the big 3 it would make sense to keep them team as it is. The point of a team is to have a mixture of skill anyway to allow lesser players to practice and grow.

You can get stuff at the ESL shop (https://shop.eslgaming.com/collections/jin-air-green-wings). There's also some other places that sell Jin Air gear iirc.
