On November 8, Topsports Gaming announced on Weibo that MaRin’s contract expired and has made the decision to not renew it. This could potentially mean the return of MaRin to the LCK.

As the pillar of the team, Marin started to play for Topsports Gaming as the top laner from 2018 Spring Split. The matches result of the team at that time was awful and It's Marin who helped the team to get out of the plight. However, Marin was not on the starting lineup from 2018 Summer Split. Two rookies (Moyu and Lies) rotated for almost the whole season, and Marin just played five games in total. In the announcement, Topsports Gaming appreciated Marin's dedication during the Spring Split and wished him a bright future.





MaRin had a short stint in the LPL with LGD after leaving SKT but had returned to the LCK to play with Afreeca Freecs for a year. After AFS, MaRin joined TOP in February 2018 where they placed 3rd in LPL Summer. Many forget that he was a World Champion in 2015 and many wish to see him return to the LCK, which he just might in 2019.
