Team Griffin’s coach cvMax leaves just a week before Worlds 2019 starts
Can Team Griffin find a replacement for him in short notice?
League of Legends Champions Korea’s (LCK) Team Griffin has announced the resignation of its head coach, Kim “cvMax” Dae-ho.
The announcement explained that cvMax’s contract “has ended with mutual agreement.” Team Griffin’s official statement did not detail the reason for the coach’s sudden departure, but a clip from popular Korean LoL streamer이상호(BJ)shed more light on the situation.
The clip reveaeled that cvMax was dismissed from the organization, according to a translation byReddit user ahm3538. After Team Griffin only placed second in this year’s Spring playoffs and Summer playoffs, cvMax got into a fight with an unnamed organization representative over the “poor performance,” resulting in his getting fired.
Despite his unfortunate situation,cvMax assured fansthat the team will do just well in Worlds even without his guidance.
