LCK Young Star Diable Heavily Penalized, Suspected of “Star Syndrome”
Recently, while the community was gearing up for the new competition week of the world’s top League of Legends tournaments, BNK FearX unexpectedly announced the demotion of Diable – the current ADC of the team to the youth squad. The reason for this move is attributed to Diable’s attitude as he repeatedly defied the team’s requests. Consequently, many suspect that the young ADC of “Golden Fox” has developed “star syndrome.”
According to a statement from FOX, Diable has refused to participate in post-match fan meetings with the team multiple times. This is a traditional activity for every team in the LCK, and all teams see it as a way to enhance fan-player interaction, as well as generate additional revenue from ticket sales. At FOX, Diable is one of the most beloved superstars, and his refusal to engage in these activities has greatly affected the team’s image.
Additionally, according to BNK’s announcement, it’s not just about failing to fulfill commitments (regarding fan meetings), but Diable has also committed violations related to team regulations. Therefore, BNK’s actions are appropriate and aimed at preventing precedents in the future.
On forums like Naver and FmKorea, many viewers believe that Diable, having just shone in his first real season with BNK, is already suffering from “star syndrome.” Some even suggest that Diable is the reason VicLa had to demote to LCK CL.
– This kid has only been “carrying the team” for a year and is already like this.
– So this is why we rarely see Diable at post-match fan meetings.
– It’s too bad for Diable.
Perhaps LCK’s young stars need to learn from the attitude of their seniors.
In reality, there is a position that has historically been essential for each LCK team and teams in League of Legends in general, which is the ADC role. Specifically in the LCK, they have consistently produced top-tier ADCs, such as Piglet, Bang, Imp, Ruler, and more recently, Gumayusi and Peyz. Therefore, Diable needs to understand that he is very skilled, but no matter what, the current situation cannot happen, especially in a region known for its strictness towards players like the LCK.
