After parting ways with support player Irove (now renamed Kabbie), the current Griffin roster only has three names left: Sword, Naehyun, and Hoya. According to the management’s plans, GRF will promote some trainees from the academy team to the main roster to compete in the new season.
Witnessing the “shattered” state of the team once hailed as the “Supernova” of Korean League of Legends, fans cannot help but feel sorrow for Griffin’s unexpected decline. The most regrettable issue is that their problems do not stem from gameplay aspects but rather from the backstage controversies.
Speaking of Griffin’s “super drama,” Sword – the top laner of this team – has once again been ridiculed by the online community. After all that this guy has done at Griffin, many have likened Sword to a “black sheep” – a term referring to those who disrupt and prefer to dominate the group:
– Oh, there’s no doubt now, Sword has become the highest-ranked player at Griffin without even trying.
– Must be nice, dropping to the Challenger and playing with some trainees is a waste of being the boss.
– I admire Griffin, I wonder if this Sword guy is a distant relative of someone in management, which is why he’s still around?
>> Maybe it’s not that he was kept, but that no team wants to (dare) buy him.
>>>> Which team would dare to buy this guy? To send the coach out on the street?
– In the past, unsatisfied with sitting on the bench, why doesn’t he look back at himself to see if he’s even old enough to sit on the bench for any team in the LCK?
– Such a pity for Griffin, stabbed in the back by their own sword (Sword means sword).
In the scandal involving coach cvMax, Sword was the most criticized player by the gaming community. This player was accused of “betraying the teacher” when he declared he would testify against cvMax for abusing Chovy, yet he failed to provide any evidence, and Chovy subsequently… followed cvMax to DragonX.
Moreover, upon delving deeper into the root of the issue, cvMax also shared that Sword was the one who stabbed him in the back, as the coach used Doran as the main player and left him on the bench. Sword was said to have complained to the team management instead of discussing it directly with cvMax; additionally, he also influenced the management to oust cvMax by making allegations of player abuse.
As of now, the matter has been somewhat clarified, as cvMax and Chovy continue to stick together, dispelling all rumors of discord. And Sword has increasingly become the most hated villain in the eyes of the online community, as it was precisely from this drama that Griffin plummeted. Losing cvMax and Chovy, they went from a championship-contending team to a relegated one in just one season.
