Jin Air Green Wings

Jin Air Green Wings was a South Korean professional League of Legends organisation that competed in League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), the nation’s premier league and one of the most storied competitions in the entire sport. Backed by the airline Jin Air, the team was among the more recognisable corporate-sponsored outfits of its era, its branding a familiar sight in Korea’s top flight for a sustained stretch of the region’s history.

A Sponsored Presence in the LCK

The involvement of a major airline as title sponsor placed Jin Air Green Wings within a wave of Korean esports teams that were supported by established mainstream brands. This backing gave the organisation the stability to maintain a professional operation and to field competitive rosters in a league where longevity itself is an achievement. The Green Wings identity became closely tied to the airline’s corporate image throughout the years the team spent on the LCK stage.

Life in Korea’s Top Flight

Competing in the LCK meant sharing a stage with the finest teams in League of Legends. The league is renowned for its cerebral, structured style, its emphasis on vision control and macro decision-making, and its capacity to produce champions who go on to dominate international events. For Jin Air Green Wings, participation demanded constant refinement, as the margins between mid-table survival and relegation in Korea were famously slim and unforgiving.

As the LCK moved towards its franchised, partnership-based format, the composition of the league changed and several long-standing names departed the scene. Jin Air Green Wings was one of the organisations whose competitive chapter closed during this broader transformation of Korean esports.

The organisation is now disbanded, its run in Champions Korea part of the league’s rich back catalogue. Though the Green Wings no longer fly on the Rift, the team is remembered as a durable fixture of the Korean scene during a defining period, a reminder of the era when airline liveries and corporate crests populated the roster of the world’s most respected regional league.
