Griffin part ways with League of Legends coaching staff

Griffin has said goodbye the whole League of Legends coaching staff, as they have mutually agreed to part ways with head coach Han “H Dragon” Sang-yong and coach Lee “GBM” Chang-seok heading into the summer season. This leaves just two of Griffin’s original players from the 2020 LCK Spring Split, with top laner Choi “Sword” Sung-won, and jungler Lee “Tarzan” Seung-yong remaining with the team. Griffin terminated its contracts with Park “Untara” Ui-jin, Son “Ucal” Woo-hyeon, and Park “Viper” Do-hyeon on Sunday, May 17, after the team went from the Worlds quarterfinals to relegation over the course of one split in LCK. The team finished last place in the Korean league, with a 5-13 record, before dropping down to the LCK promotion series. There, Griffin faced Seorabeol Gaming and SANDBOX Gaming and was relegated. They won’t be returning to the LCK this summer, but when the league adopts a franchise model in 2021, the organization could make a reappearance.

We are sad to announce that we have terminated the contracts with coach SangYong Han and ChangSeok Lee, who have been with Griffin for the Spring split, in mutual agreement. Team Griffin is sincerely grateful for their contribution and will cheer on for their future endeavours. pic.twitter.com/LZzogffslW
