I believe that many summoners are no strangers to the Korean GRF team's "Korean e-sports biggest melon of the year" during the S9 competition.
To briefly review, this melon is about a former coach who was kicked out of the team by the former director before the S game. The live broadcast revealed that the former director "abused youth training players", "traded players in violation of regulations", and "required players to rank up and fight against match-fixing" Such news aroused criticism from Korean netizens, and Riot China and South Korea successively intervened in the incident, alarming the Korean Congress. On November 20, this "melon" was successfully implemented after Riot Korea officially announced the position of the LCK operating committee.
It is reported that Riot Korea announced the final investigation results of the "Griffin Incident" and issued corresponding penalties.
first imposed a "permanent ban" on the cvMax supervisor (the whistleblower Mai Ge) and the former Griffin Zhao representative (Zhao Kuinan). This permanent ban is for the "supervision" and "director" positions, which should mean an indefinite suspension.
is followed by a penalty of 100 million Korean won (approximately 600,000 yuan) for the GRF team, and will be subject to regular monitoring for one year. If similar behavior continues, GRF will be deprived of the right to participate at most.
Although this incident is a "GRF incident", as a team in the LCK division, GRF's behind-the-scenes problems have caused many people from all walks of life to question the so-called "mature" system of LCK. Players who participated in the discussion of the incident are in the community. Continue to crusade against the club's unreasonable behavior and require officials to inspect major clubs to prevent similar things.
At the same time, this incident also made Korean e-sports "successfully break out of the circle" and alarmed the Korean Congress. After the public opinion broke out, Korean Congressman Ha Tae-kyung said that he would launch a "Kanavi rescue operation" to investigate GRF. Therefore, the position of the LCK Operations Committee is that this matter has violated the reputation of the LCK and the core value of the LCK - fairness, so the GRF team must be punished for improper management.
and required GRF team members to become actors when they meet their own jungler Tarzan; gave youth training players low-configuration computers and trained for 17 hours a day, and could only eat standing up, and the food was still leftovers; threatened players to sign contracts for five years, crazy Taking 1 billion won... After the news came out, Xu Jingzong (transliteration), CEO of GRF team's parent company Still8, issued a statement on the matter and fired GRF director Zhao Kuinan.
The latest situation of Zhao Kuinan is that he was sued for non-performance of debts (Plaintiff A and Zhao Kuinan had a close relationship and lived together for two years. Zhao Kuinan often borrowed money from A and has not repaid it so far, and the debt amount reaches 150,000 yuan).
It is worth mentioning that this matter has nothing to do with the players, even though there is a lot of public opinion directed at the top orderer who is "protected" by Zhao Kuinan.
The current winter transfer period in the LCK division is not holding back at all. It is in full swing. According to this trend, the transfer period is over, and the Korean team should be undergoing another major reshuffle. With the LPL division winning the S8 and S9 World Championships, Korean teams have repeatedly suffered defeats at the hands of the European division, and the dominance of the LCK is no longer what it used to be. What do you think of this "melon"?
