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. Griffin fulfilled these hopes with a very dominant 8-1 start and a Summer Split finish in 2nd place. In the promotion tournament they swept past Kongdoo and also won the first qualifying round against MVP convincingly to qualify for the LCK.ĭue to their dominating qualification and keeping their roster there were hopes that finally a competitive team came up from CK again. 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.
They continued their good showings during the Spring Split dominating the league with a start of 8 clean sweeps. 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.
