OK, imagine you’re part of an esports team that just a few years ago was playing in the minor leagues, but now is competing in the highest level of competition your esport has to offer — The League of Legends World Championship.
The world is watching and talking about you.
Except they’re talking about you for all the wrong reasons. Because your org is IMPLODING in a blackhole of drama, internal fighting, and national legal investigations.
Well, that’s exactly what’s happening to Griffin, a Korean League of Legends team having a hell of a time on and off the rift.

Can you make a video describing the size of the individual esports leagues. Maybe compared to the NBA or something. Cause I'll be honest no bm it seems to me like lol esports is the only one that looks remotely sustainable but if I'm wrong I'd love to know the exact details of how wrong.
Sword neck LOOOOL
srsly, this is so non sense you had to make a click bait title.
Imagine thinking that mustache is cool ^^
CVMAX was right about Sword
You dont need to apologize for your pronunciation… you don't speak Korean, most likely 99% that dont speak it will mispronounce everything.
Jesus whats that mustache
Welcome to dragon x, cvMax ?
Quick summary "according to a translation."
HOLY FUCK A MIN LONG VIDEO OF DANCE AROUND BEFORE GETTING TO THE CUT OF CHEESE.
Good opening statement
omg jesus we get it, you dont speak korean. STOP APOLOGIZING! I'm canadian and even i think you are apologizing too much
If you're going to apologize for mispronunciations, you don't have to do it every single time you say the name…Just once or twice to encompass all of them is good enough
GRF wrecking at worlds: this didnt age well xD
Nice job making a video off of another journalist's blood and sweat to break the story, and not giving them a dime for it. Scumbags thescore.
Lmao you guys are really using Reddit for translation in a journalism video
I hope sword pays Doran a sweet dinner, make a formal apology to CVmax, bring cvmax back, and have sword removed permanently from league
You know a video is slow when you put it at 1.5x and it still feels more natural to listen.
Team Dark tho
The Biggest Scandal was the one were Regi tied Bjergsen to a chair for 2 weeks..forced to watch junglers playing away from mid lane…until he agreed to sign a new contract.
Bjergsen: me and Regi..talked…and we agreed on alot..so why would i leave… ?✍️???
https://youtu.be/Jk5LoEGqmnM?t=90 <—The moment Bjergsen was captured happened to be caught on film, you can see him pawing at the window trying to escape but it was no use..he knew he was doomed to a lifetime..
..of never getting out of groups ??

the biggest scandal in LoL is how Riot got away with paying their casters and players scraps for years and years until MonteCristo spoke out, they then fired him and the best caster LoL has had was gone. Fascist company, they are a scandal in-of-themselves.
This is the first I've heard about this actually. I've been watching everything League of Legends and I consider Griffin to be an amazing team. It sucks that these kids and young adults have been having to deal with this type of situation and I really do hope the best for them.
thanks for the info palace guy!
Translation… You need a Korean Translator
Anyone else really bothered how the brown coat his hanging all janky on the chair on the left?
Sounds like Sum Dum Fuk.
hardly the biggest scandal….just a shitload of Chinese whispers.
the only scandal here is why NA is considered as a Major region still after all their failed Worlds attempt. should make NA a Wildcard region and let other else be a Major one( like VCS or JPL).
That mustache is not going for you friend
guess Tarzan and Chovy should find another team when once their contracts expire.
Modern day journalism, where facts are secondary to rushed reports for clicks.
Anyone else see the dude in the back playing TFT?
0:00 why does he look like mark zuckerberg with a mustache
SWORD KEKW
This pornstache is bigger scandal
Cough Cough Moscow 5 Cough Cough
My gf: you look mad did i said something
Me: no, I am mad because I cant believe sword is playing instead of doran.
Gf:what?
This guy in the video looks like a total d-bag.
Get some help
From a journalistic standpoint this is terrible. how can you make a scandalous video if you cant even confirm your scandalous sources ?!
At first I thought this was gonna be about Sword turbofeeding
Its just sad griffin had a chance for the Titel but without cvmax and fcking sword top cant win 4 v 5 i guess
Not the biggest scandal … jesus the clickbait!
I was expecting for something about vaevictis
i unsubscribed due to the shady method of journalism this is. Get a translator and be sure before spewing out would could be a load of BS
Are you journalists or not? Get a fucking translator and stop being lazy.
