God I want Jaedong to be on a real team so bad so he can show us his true potential. I think jaedong will go back to team 8 once his eg contract expires. They cut major and others to free up money for the dong's return! Just cause they have a sponsor now, doesn't mean it's an unlimited budget. | ||

The 8th Team was a team KeSPA had been runing out of pocket since 2011, largely consisting of players from disbanded teams Hwaseung Oz, WeMade FOX and MBCGame Hero. The Green Wings have expanded to include League of Legends as well as StarCraft II, and will run two LoL squads called "Stealth" and "Pelican." Ten LoL players have been recruited, primarily consisting of players from the former AHQ Korea and a number of former SKT T1 LoL players. The teams had already been competing in OnGameNet's LoL league under the names HGD and ESG, and they will continue to compete under their new names. For the stable operations of the team, KeSPA will continue to play a part in the operations of the team. Parent company Korean Air and Viamonoh (provider of clothing for Jin Air flight attendents) will be sub sponsors of the team. Haha I was too slow :D You sure its Pelican and not Falcons? | ||

I know I wouldn't go fly on a different airline just because someone was sponsored by it... This ain't electronics, ya know? you don't understand why these companies are doing it. they're not doing it because they expect a return in profits, they want to raise their image and have people associate them with the young hardworking faces they idolize. | ||
