One team is former ESG and the other team is HGD.

HDG -> Green Wings Stealth

ESG -> Green Wings Falcons



The LoL team name is Falcons not Pelicans. This is a translation error I am sure in the summary below

Summary



KeSPA's Team Eight is now officially sponsored by Jin Air (Koraen Air's low cost brand), and has been reformed as the "Jin Air Green Wings." 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.

Or LoL is the gate way for Jin Air to get to proleague. If there were no LoL, Jin Air would not step into esports and proleague.



This is kind of like Jin Air gets to Proleague through LoL, and pick team8 along the way.

I'm aware of that. I mean that if there were no LoL, I doubt Jin Air would start sponsoring Team8 for SC2. I'm aware of that. I mean that if there were no LoL, I doubt Jin Air would start sponsoring Team8 for SC2.

Champions is now



KeSPA: Blaze, Frost, SKT, KT, Falcons, Stealth

eSF: Blue, Ozone, LG-IM #1, LG-IM #2

Other: CTU, MiG Blitz, Xenics Storm, Xenics Blast, Najin Black Sword, Najin White Shield



My dream-scenario is still that Najin will join KeSPA when their proleague starts! I wonder if that is a posibility...
