Where are we talking about the stuff with Griffin? I don't know what sites are actually reputable or not (eSports journalism lol) but I have seen stuff suggesting Riot is now investigating Griffin management, one site said they've already let Manager Cho go after what cvMax said but the site seemed dodgy.

It seems like it might have been announced by Riot Korea but I couldn't find any official Riot statement on it in English (maybe because of timezones? But I didn't look suuuuper hard)

Still8 (owners) made a public statement about it.
https://still8.gg/

tl;dr with google translate:
They apologise to cvMax and fans.
Cho is fired.
They are investigating.
Out of concern for their players they will wait to after Worlds for a more indepth statement.

While I think that EG.Dardoch was the perfect brand synergy, Sven is a beast and so is Zeyzal. Really surprised C9 let either go, especially Zeyzal, as they don't have another support near his level

https://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/28042023/sources-evil-geniuses-acquire-svenskeren-zeyzal-cloud9

The ESPN article says Kumo and Deftly go too, but not necessarily as starters

C9 once again letting go of stars TF??? Going to make another offseason transfer thread after Worlds ends. Silly season is almost upon us!

There were some Tusin to NA rumors so maybe that's why they got rid of Zeyzal?

The rumors were that Svensken wasn't happy with C9 anymore after going from getting MVP in Summer to being benched almost all of Worlds and wanted out. C9 probably got an upgrade at support so they forced a teams hand when they called about Sven. Supposedly TSM tried to get Sven back, but backed off when C9 tried to make them take Zeyzal too.

Please do not send Tusin to NA prison, he's too good to not be on a world class team. But if that's true, then it indicates Deft may have been picked up by someone else, unless KZ actually think they can keep their roster after the bs they pulled off this year.

We should start spreading baseless rumours about who's getting replaced in Fnatic just to pretend we were the first to predict it happening.

Broxah to TL is a legit rumor circling around. My guess would be Xmithe to IMT if its true

I'd be shocked if he retired, he's at worst the second best jungler in the region. No point in calling it quits.

I see it too, I think you're right. Not a bad logo, more 'modern' looking since it's so simplistic.

Broxah is not the problem in Fnatic, it's a team attitude thing. Who in the LEC is better than him besides Jankos?

That deal happened back in February, but like Clutch being bought by DIG, they couldn't change over the branding during the season.

If you're burned out you're burned out. If he feels like it's effecting his play negatively he as an athelete probably has enough respect for the sport and team to retire rather than collecting a paycheck he doesn't feel earned.

sometimes I think I enjoy off season roster season as much as the actually seasons lol. It does suck having nothing to watch for months though. More international competition when

You got to find yourself a good streamer to fill the void. Someone who you can just tune in and run in the background, not too loud but also not boring.

That’s the rub though he’s already known for being this good whilst practically devoting 0 time to the game outside of scrims. Between that proven effective work/life balance and having the resident value I find it really unlikely he would retire. Personally it just sounds like something a redditor would come up with because it’s the obvious best way to utilize Liquid’s import slot. Which even if it happened demand for xmithie would exist.
