Griffin (Korean: 그리핀) is a Korean team. They are owned by STILL8.
History[]
Griffin was founded in November 2016 as NOT BAD, and started playing as Griffin in January 2017.
2017 Season[]
Spring Split[]
They formed a young roster with Sword, Yonghun, Rather, Force, and Shield. During the Spring Split they had a decent 3-2 start but could not keep it up losing the rest of the splits series despite signing two new junglers. This meant a 9th place finish and dropping into the promotion tournament where they surprisingly clearly fought off REVERSE Gaming in a 3-0 sweep with new support Jin.
Summer Split[]
For the Summer Split they kept the roster from the promotion tournament but started the split like spring ended. After week 5 they signed former pro player cvMax as new coach and with him went on a tear winning 5 of their last 6 series as well as the tiebreaker to finish the split in 3rd place. In playoffs however they were surprisingly beaten by APK Prince 1-3.
KeSPA Cup[]
A few months later they got the chance to take revenge against them at the 2017 LoL KeSPA Cup with their new botlane signings Viper and Lehends. They swept past them as well as LCK team Afreeca and even managed to gain international attention when they nearly managed to beat SK Telecom T1 who lost the world championship finals a few weeks before.
2018 Season[]
Spring Split[]
They continued their good showings during the Spring Split dominating the league with a start of 8 clean sweeps. After those they started to give talented rookie Chovy who just became old enough to be allowed to play some game time and despite losing two games continued to win the rest of the series which meant they placed 1st and got a direct place at the promotion tournament to LCK. In the promotion tournament they swept past Kongdoo and also won the first qualifying round against MVP convincingly to qualify for the LCK.
Summer Split[]
Due to their dominating qualification and keeping their roster there were hopes that finally a competitive team came up from CK again. Griffin fulfilled these hopes with a very dominant 8-1 start and a Summer Split finish in 2nd place. Going as second seed into playoffs they closely fought off Afreeca in semifinals after being down 1-2 and went up twice in finals against KT Rolster but could not close it out. The lack of championship points from spring split meant they went as 2nd seed but still as favourites into the Regional Finals. In round 2 they faced the after a bad season reinvigorated world championship roster on Gen.G and lost the series 2-3.
KeSPA Cup[]
In the 2018 LoL KeSPA Cup they got seeded in quarterfinals of playoffs where Afreeca were their first opponents. They swept their new roster 2-0 before sweeping past newly to LCK promoted team DAMWON Gaming and the new roster of Gen.G to win their first title.
2019 Season[]
2019 Preseason[]
In November, "e-sportainment" company STILL8, previously owners of Kongdoo Monster, purchased Griffin.[1][2]
Spring Split[]
They carried this forward and stomped their competition in the first 6 weeks of Spring Split. After SK Telecom T1 showed to the rest of the league in week 7 that Griffin are absolutely beatable despite losing their rematch 1-2 in extremely close fashion Griffin lost a couple of series towards the end of the split. According to their coach they were trying new things out and managed to hold on to first place and therefore first seed going into playoffs. In the highly anticipated finals match against SKT Griffin did not manage to perform as well as expected and were clean swept.
