I think Creator and Rex will have a hard time to find a team like JAGW, the rest should be fine.

Surprised they even last this long, goodbye and thank you for all the memories especially in SPL and supporting for years past SPL era.

With OGN closing as well it's really starting to not look good for esports in Korea at all. :/

Rogue joined DPG, and seems DPG is about to announce another big name

OGN is closing down because Riot took the rights to LCK, and Jin Air is shutting down because there hasn't been Proleague for 4 years.

Man that realy sucks. Wasn t JAGW the last Team with a house in Korea? I could honestly see SOS and Creator go to the army, if they Don t find a Team fast, wich would also be realy sad... Makes the Kr scene even smaller. But After they close down LOL as well this was inevitable at one point. I just hoped it actually was like a year or more in the Future and not just mere weeks 
I never was a Big JAGW fan, but everyone has to aknowledge what they have done over the years. Truely impressive legacy. They will leave a Big gap to full in the Korean scene. Lets hope the Chinese Teams can fill it somehow

The last castle falls. It was inevitable but it brings back the pain of proleague ending.
Thank you JAGW for supporting so many players from the beginning as BW 8th team with JD and others to now. It was a ride.
Good luck to everyone. Sad day.
