Yesterday, CLG published a behind the scenes video which was directed towards fan transparency about their current situation on the roster. Since then they’ve received quite a lot of criticism for such an action, and they released the following statement:
CLG behind the scenes video – What was in it?
The video has since been deleted, but to whoever didn’t manage to watch it in time, this is how it went. The video opens up with the general manager of the squad stating that he’s currently looking to change something within the starting roster. He continues with the fact that they haven’t progressed forward in the span of 2 months. After that, he says “This is the last time we’ll have this roster of 5 playing together”.
Obviously this gives a bad image towards both parties, and it’s certainly not what the fans would want to see.
Community reaction
Immediately after the video was uploaded, all that watched were in shock. Who in the right mind would publish a video about players potentially losing their jobs.
The first change of the roster is happening in the mid-lane. As Pobelter hangs his belt, and Damonte steps in to take the mantle. A lot of CLG’s fans are already questioning the move, as Pobelter was a strong player for the team, but I guess we’ll have to see how they fare in their upcoming LCS matches.
