Jin Air Green Wings have announced the closure of their SC2 division.

'Jin Air Green Wings StarCraft II team are terminating Coach herb, sOs, Rogue, Trap, Creator, and Maru's contracts and will cease operations effective today. We'd like to wholeheartedly thank all those, who supported and cherished Jin Air Green Wings to the very end.

The last StarCraft II Proleague champions,
The first gold medal at the Asian Esports Games,
The only [player/team] with four GSL championships in a row,

All these moments were made possible thanks to your support for Jin Air Green Wings.

Although we are saddened to have to make this decision, we will never forget those who supported us throughout our journey. We extend our love and wish all our players and coaches a bright future.

Coach herb, sOs, Rogue, Trap, Creator, Maru - thank you. We hope [expect] you'll continue to excel.

Thank you for loving Jin Air Green Wings. '


I was asked to clarify my Korean needs work and the translation could be somewhat inaccurate.

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

LoL, BW, and OW are doing just fine, Koreans were never fans of SC2. 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

sOs should be fine? I don't know Kev.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

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.
