The Rise and Fall of Jin Air Green Wings
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ค. 2024
- Started by the child of a Korean billionaire, the Jin Air Green Wings were one of the most lovable teams in the history of League of Legends Esports. They developed a cult following who knew something was special about this team, but most never knew the full story until today. I hope you enjoy.

H DRAGON?
Actually GOAT
The Goat, Love u
We Love you!
I'm currently only 40 minutes into this documentary, but there is really a marked difference between these recent documentaries and the ones before Gbay's break. JAG's story so far is really interesting, and I really feel bad for their coach. He seems to have the best eyes in the scene, but not the resources to keep the talent that those eyes spot.
Thank you for that man. Hearing that you've noticed an improvement in quality is the greatest feedback I could ever hope to receive.
I agree with the sentiment about gbay videos, this was a lovely and very interesting documentary, but I think their coach loved what he was doing, he got offers from other teams that paid more but he decided to stick to Jin Air on purpose
@@gbay99 Your videos went from amazing pre-break to both this and the Khan video being some of my favourite youtube vids ever
Almost teared up… Amazing work, Gbay❤
Jin Air is like the Werder Bremen of Pro LoL.
When your opponent cries for you, you know you've achieved something truly great. Nothing but respect for coach Han and his players.
H-Dragon story is so inspiring. Idk what it is but the sheer versatility to be a competitor in a combat sport then, coach in 2 different video games is incredible. He is the main character in this story that I did not expect. Thanks Gbay for sharing his story
I became a big Jin Air fan while watching the Starcraft Proleague, remember being depressed for weeks when I heard about them disbanding.
It wasnt only a passion project in League, but also the last of the Kespa teams to stay around supporting players in Starcraft after kespa left the scene, it's really one of a kind and I'm super grateful they get a spot to shine through this 💚
Yeah the double knife jab if matchfixning really killed both SC leagues and interest in KR, really said that basically nothing is left from it. Sure a few teams stayed (notably Freecs?), but there was almost nothing left in the RTS scenes 2016 onwards.
I still remember to this day how deep my heart sank as I sat in despair tearing up as JinAir failed to qualify to the LCK during the 2020 spring promotions. Thank you for giving JinAir and HDragon all the appreciation and recognition that they so much deserved.
only Gbay could make me tear up over a game I no longer play, a team I had all but forgotten, and a story i'd never heard...
Thanks for your countless hours of work that you put into these videos.
jaedong is actually still playing professionally and is in the current ASL season going on right now, it looks like he still has many years of success ahead of him, too
Another absolute tear-jerker. You are doing it Gbay! You are making amazing content year after year with these documentaries on moments most of us would have never recognized. As one of the hundreds of thousands that have watched you back when you still made League gameplays, I couldn't be happier than to watch these.
Honestly Gbay, I appreciate you so fucking much for allowing us to even hear these stories, the countless hours, work, and effort you put into these videos is stunning! I love that you're willing to research these smaller teams, and these stories we probably would've never even heard or thought to look up! I honestly think I can speak for the entire league community by saying this. You have single handedly made me have a deeper enjoyment of League Of Legends the game, but the Esport surrounding it as a whole. You genuinely make me want to look into all these older teams, and older tournaments just to find some bangers or find out stuff I wouldn't have known about players/teams. Please please for the sake of the LOL community, as long as you enjoy doing these documentaries keep doing them, They offer so much story telling that the LCS/LEC/LCK/LPL refuse to talk about, or bring up, I honestly only enjoyed worlds because of your videos which made me actually have a narrative going into the event! If you could make one in time for MSI, that would be crazy, It would be awesome if you somehow could link up with LCS to make player documentaries, show off the history of individual players/ or even teams, to help create narratives for matches. Honestly the largest issue I have with LCS outside of the gameplay is the fact the cast/stream/content has just gone downhill, I miss the old LCS player videos, the ones that were like 8 minutes and just told us about their history and backstory, but to end this off, sorry for the ADHD going everywhere, for real Gbay Thank you so fucking much for making me enjoy this game as much as I did when I was 12, thank you for making this amazing content to watch on mornings when I'm actually so depressed I don't even want to open my door. You do so much for this community without even probably realizing it, and I just wanted to let you know we all love and appreciate every single thing you do Gbay Thank you
to add to this, if you ever made a website, or used patreon to put out more content like this because youtube is very unstable, i think so many people would love to subscribe just to get more content like this!
This was tough to watch. By the end of the video I was became a huge fan of the Green wings. I teared 😢 as they struggled so hard to just to be there and compete.
It wasn't easy but they kept flying without stop, without food or water it is remarkable they managed to stay in the sky for so long.
Long may you be remembered Jin Air Green Wings.✈️💚
I was almost in tears by the end of this. It was incredibly well made and on one of the stories that definitely needed more spotlight on, especially by the end. Another incredible video.
Thank you for blessing us with another banger Gbay, please keep em coming love your vids man.
Thank you so much man.
@@gbay99 of course brother, ik TH-cam isn't the most stable source of income especially with terms constantly changing with regards to monetisation. You deserve a strong steady source for the work you put in. I'm on 28 minutes deep in the video and I love it, really appreciate your attention to detail and your storytelling style of delivery.
"If you want ill spare you 4 on 1"
That's a beast.
Its been 4 years watching lol epsorts(lec,lck sometimes) from 2019 when i discovered the game exists, I never played a single league match in my life and i still love watching league esports. This is one of the best team documentary i have watched i dont know why i cried watching this but it was too gud i loved it. I found your channel through huan feng video which was too gud recently I liked Khan one which was too gud keep the work man.
I have a question, because I want to introduce the esport to other people... how come you understand the gameplay without having played even a single game? I really doubt videos alone can achieve the knowledge for it!?
i also don't play league so this might help.
The only thing I see are the macros and team fights. I don't know why they do things but its cool to see an engage working out! I do a little bit of searching on what the champions can do, What champions are meta etc. so i can be familiar with what their strengths and weaknesses
@@Kepitano i dont understand anything fully but i get the gist of things.
but as they say... ignorance is a bliss. Everything is more fun when you don't understand everything 😅
My brother recommended this video and I am genuinely WEEPING watching this. I start playing League in 2012 but back then, I mostly only followed NA LCS at the time. I don't play anymore (keyboard boomer), but I've gotten back into watching pro League again, including more LEC, LCK and LPL. The intense nostalgia I felt watching this (that CLG roster! that SKT roster!) coupled with excellent editing and story telling has really cemented one fact - I love League of Legends.
This makes me deeply regret not being more invested in the LCK during the 2010s, but at the same time you gave me an appreciation for the time, the team owner, and the coach back then who shaped a lot of the LCK rosters. It's incredible to think about how HDragon shaped the scene with his scouting capabilities and how a lot of those players would've likely been overlooked if not for him.
Been loving your documentaries, I didn't think anything could top your Khan video but this one at the very least comes close, hope you get to keep on doing what you love!
It fitting how a team with the longest game time get the longest documentary.
25:15 Hey that toplaner sounds familiar… its always fun seeing the subject of other documentaries showing up in others, really shows that for every glorious victory is another persons soul crushing loss
This is one of the few videos where coming to the end that I realize how much passion there is behind these projects. I always feel bad when I remember the issues that stopped Gbay from playing but there's still the love I feel behind each of these videos
Hey! I'm the guy who wrote the "Longest Games in LoL History" article you grabbed screenshots from. Big thanks for compiling this documentary together and teaching me more about the Jin Air team I loved all those years ago. Great work as usual.
Fantastic documentary as always. Remembering back to seeing Jin Air teams in early seasons of League was a nostalgia trip I didn't expect to have today.
Thank you for this absolutely incredible tear jerking ride Gbay. I fondly remember so many of those Jin Air games but I never knew how absolutely incredible they truly were. Genuinely sad that I missed a chance to more better support such an incredible organization.
This is truly one of the best things you've ever made Gbay. You continue to grow as a filmmaker and it's really showing how much hard work you're putting into it. Well done sir. I anxiously await your next video highlighting the truly amazing stories of League that would be lost the annals of history otherwise.
Never thought I would be crying at work whilst watching a League of Legends documentary by the guy that ate a sock. Man what a legend. The amount of hard work that goes into making these documentaries is something to be proud of. There will be a day when someone makes a doc on the Legend of Gbay99 and I can only hope I'm around to enjoy it.
I first found out about Jin Air Greenwings through watching LCK, and loved their team's theming and pilot uniforms. I'm glad they made a good splash. Thank you so much for the effort you put into this documentary GBay!
Loving the Starcraft prelude. The context makes it so much more impactful.
This is what peak youtube content looks like. Already cant wait for another one. So much research, so many stories to tell. Bravo GBay!
This video was straight up awesome, the pacing, the storyline, evertything was perfect!!! Thank you GBay
This man really deserve everything. Absolutely amazing job in every documentary. Love your job, your content. Keep going and I hope you just go up.
Congratulations from Spain
I don't ever comment on videos but I just wanna tell you thank you for making this. I teared up watching this, the passion that you have for this game (and the esport scene in general) really resonates with me, and that's why I'm very grateful that you do what you do. Amazing stuff dude, keep it up!
Your documentaries never sieze to amaze me, the quality is through the roof. I've been subbed to you since all the way back when you did the art of war series and i can honestly say that this style is not just YOUR best videos but by far THE best of this style of videos on TH-cam. Looking forward to your next video 💪
Outstanding work Gbay! Not just a fantastic story, but a story told fantastically. I particularly loved how much you let the footage of the games speak for itself, especially in 'The Run'. The music choice elevated the emotions on all the major beats. The HLE coach crying in the post-game was shocking, I've never seen anything like it.
I thought the clips of Jin-Air getting wrecked cut in with Rouges Cinderella story was brutal, it felt like really definitive punctuation. A poetic emblem of Jin-Airs legacy. Beautiful.
Looking forward to the BTS and commentary on this.
Added this to my watch later, haven't gotten the time to check it out yet but I know you always deliver. Welcome back from your break.
The effort in these documentaries is clearly visible, such good content man!
ive never even heard of this team and now you’ve made me miss them
great work as always bro
You're always so talented at highlighting the emotional throughlines in eSports narratives and I appreciate you for that. Have you considered outsourcing adding subtitles to your docs for people with hearing difficulties? I know it's probably a huge time sink to add them yourself
Thank you for your work Gbay! This was by far the very best documentary about League esport I have ever watched!
I was a fan from 2015 to 2019, thank you for making this and helping me reminisce over my years of fandom for the team. Fantastic video.
Thank you for bringing this to us :) much appreciated
Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful story. Your passion is inspiring
After three minutes I can already say it's the best documentary ever made
I love your content and i have been following you for a long time and seeing you evolve so much through time and become such a great documentarist fills me with joy
Thank you for blessing us with this masterpiece. I've never been so emotional about league in a long while and your videos reminds me how great the history of the game is. Your content makes my years in this game worthwhile. Thank you!
Thank you for your dedication to long-form documentaries chronicling League of Legends history, great work.
i've been a viewer for many years and i just wanted to say, this was probably the most emotional one - great work :D
This was incredible, it made me really emotional. I never appreciated jin air when they were around but this docu showed me the heart and soul this org really had. Amazing documentary and thank you for the effort you put in
just over a minute into the video and already astonished by the editing, graphics and whole mood of the video. It has that odd touch that puts some videos and creators above others, hope you keep this up pretty sure you'd reach them with time
Beautiful video. Very well thoughtout and researched, and yet captivating storytelling.
Stopped following the scene many years ago, but been missing some of the culture for a while.
This one helped me remember some of the most exciting moments, along with a very interesting team!
Cudos Gbay .\m/
Another great one. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos. They are incredible
Great documentary as always g bay. ive been watching you since i started playing league and its been amazing to watch you year after year continue to improve at your craft. Always a treat when you upload. Keep up the great work!
Yeah.. this is the one, the best one you made so far Gbay, loved it with all of my heart
Thank you! Long time league fan and these are some of the touching and cool story most of us fan do not know about. Keep these videos up!
I didn't click on this video for a while, one because I didn't have time for it, but mostly because I didn't know Jin Air, so wasn't really interested (if I where, I would have found time earlier). In the end I just clicked because I know you produce great documentaries so this one must be great too regardless of the subject. And I was correct, you've outdone yourself again. I had a great time !!
Not saying this to sound negative. Its the contrary, I think this video will do great over time ! I think a lot of people had the same thought process as me, not clicking because its not something they know or that interest them. But over time people will find this video because they like your content and want to relive a piece o f history
Thanks for the insight man. It genuinely helps a lot hearing perspectives like this and puts my mind at ease lol
In my opinion, this was the greatest documentary you've made. And that's saying a lot, because I love your documentaries! What an absolutely beautiful story of JAG that you told
amazing video I loved Jin Air Green Wings, this deserves way more views gbay
INCREDIBLE EFFORT put into this documentary, wow! Thank you Gbay, this turned out exactly how you wanted it to, let me tell you. Look forward to move of these 🙏
Thank you for bringing the attention of us fans to such hidden, but awesome, heartwarming and inspiring stories!
Amazing video and work, my age in LoL is really showing up since I actually watched some of these games in the early phases of LoL. Really glad I was able to play and see all these evolutions of the game and how much easier it has become ToT
Never comment normally on videos, but this feature was so outstanding that I had to go out of my way to do so. Thank you so much for highlighting one of my favorite Korean E-Sports teams of all time. :gladplane:
Awesome video, it did its job perfectly, I only ever knew Jin air as a bottom of the table LCK team. Really cool to see that there was so much passion behind it even when results werent there. Gbay does it again!!
This is amazing. Gbay, some of your best work!
Thank you for another amazing video, really happy to see you make content with so much heart
Thank you for this amazing video ❤
A beautiful insight into an amazing team and players that shouldn't be forgotten.
Thank you for this beautiful video Gbay, it means a lot
Really good job on this one GBay glad to still have you in the space
Always awesome to see what you make man, you have a great way of making the viewer really care about the subject.
Thanks man, absolutely amazing stuff. Your naration and storytelling improved a lot, sorry for my broken english 🙏
Great job yet again Gabriel.
Thanks for your hard work.
I think every one of your "hidden gem" videos has made me cry, keep them coming. thank you.
absolutely fantastic video.
Amazing video, thank you Gbay. I was always attracted to being a fan of Jin Air, whether it was just from the memes or that it's fun to root for teams who don't always do the best lol. It's cool to see their history and learn more about what this team really was!
Best video I have seen in a long time. Keep up the great content.
I didnt even know this team existed but man that scene of the HWL coach crying had me tearing up.
Thank you so much for blessing us with another amazing documentary
Brilliant, well done. Learned so much about a team I watched mostly struggle. I started watching in the days of Teddy, A.K.A the fountain laser, and never knew the backstory to it all.
I didnt even know what Jin air wings was, with only a passing casual knowledge of the LCS even as a league player - but now I’ve got this bittersweet feeling that I missed getting to be a fan of a deserving team, while now being able to truly appreciate their immensely inspiring coach, post-career.
Absolutely incredible documentary gbay, I’m always so impressed with your ability to take these modern mythological stories and show us the humanity in them.
Great team that gave me good memories, I really loved their endless games and Teddy carrying them, Also. I loved a lot of their players, they had really good scouting. Thank you Gbay!
Oh new video! Should be interesting~
Thank you for another great documentary~!
I didn't know why I should care about a documentary about an organisation I had never hear of before. But I had faith that GBay would show me. He did not disappoint.... Such a great story and so beautifully told!
Filmmaking is really challenging, especially an hour long documentary, you made something beautiful Gbay
beautiful documentary. Thank you for this
The mental fortitude that H-Dragon and the Jin Air org had to have is unthinkable, and I salute them. This was a pretty emotional watch, even as someone who really started following League in the midst of the pandemic in 2020. I can always count on some banger docs from you, Gbay, thank you for your continued hard work!
crazy good documentary man, keep it up
Everytime i see a new video from gbay i always think that this is what makes youtube special. Not the pranks and react videos they promote night and day, but this passion project right here that you do.
Thanks for making this amazing documentary. The story was so moving.
I have a Netflix I never watch, but when I see Gbay docu coming up, I know I'm up for high quality tear drippin rollercoaster! You're awesome!
These documentaries are so good. Keep going GBay!
Gbay should have someone translate and subtitle the documentary in Korean, I’d like to see H-Dragon’s reaction ❤ loved the vid
Thank you for making this.
I think its safe to say this was one of your best masterpieces from the storytelling to making me feel like i was reliving their journey.
This was amazing. The story telling was so good, I mean just so good! Amazing! Thank you!
This video was a masterpiece and thoroughly entertained me during its runtime. I also think, that it is absolutely criminal how little views you are getting, with almost 500K subscribers. You definetely deserve viewcounts befitting your subscribercount, if not many more. 👍
I was just talking about Jin Air to one of my best friends who I got into eSports at the beginning of the year and shared this with her. Seeing this almost made me cry. I miss Jin Air 🥺
How am I finding this channel so late?! Man, this is such a good video...
What a remarkable story! Thoroughly enjoyed watching this on my TV last night.
One of the best videos I've ever seen tbh, great documentary
I didnt expect to get emotional. What a great documentary Gbay!
I hope this gets more traction. Great job gbay. Been here since season 3.
Wow, what a great video, thank you for breaking down jin airs history in esprots that i never knew. I had no idea there was so much passion in that team.
respect gbay thank you for keeping up these incredible documentaries
