#5: Link. Early in 2013, Austin “Link” Shin was named CLG’s starting mid laner after BigfatLP stepped down. Despite being mechanically sound and very adaptable, during his entire tenure with Counter Logic Gaming, the team struggled to find success. In Link’s last split, the team was full of strong personalities such as Dexter and Doublelift, and the team was under constant scrutiny. Whether it was misplays, or his dedication to the team, Link’s named was regularly dragged through the mud. When he left the team in 2015, Link wrote a scathing 17 page letter about the ongoing problems within CLG and the reasons for their failures.

#4: Edward. Edward, Gosu Pepper, the Thresh Prince. Whatever you want to call him, at one point in time, Edward was viewed as one of the best supports in Europe. After making his name with Moscow 5, he eventually left the team after disagreements with his bot partner Genja. He left for NA and joined Team Curse. But his play wasn’t great and Curse finished sixth in the 2014 summer split. Edward then returned to Europe in 2015, rejoining Gambit Gaming. After a year of mediocre results, Edward left Gambit for a second time.

#3: Chaox. Chaox was an OG of the League of Legends scene. He started off as a support of Team Solomid but was named the ADC after Locodoco left the team. He was an early star of League of Legends and he went on to win the MVP award of Season 2. TSM dominated the scene for a while but eventually the team started to tear apart. Chaox’s behaviour at MLG Dallas was the tipping point. In 2013, Chaox was released from the team. Disagreements between him and team owner Reginald escalated and he was replaced by WildTurtle.

#2: FORG1VEN. FORG1VEN has always been a confident AD carry. Known for always coming out of lane with an advantage, FORG1ven is viewed as one of the best players in the world but had never been to a Worlds tournament prior to 2016. In 2015 he signed on with SK Gaming and stated he only wanted to play for a contending team. He spent stints with Gambit and H2K but was often viewed as being difficult to play with. Along with behaviour issues he constantly stated that he wasn’t heavily motivated when it came to League of Legends.

#1: Doublelift. When Doublelift entered the League of Legends scene, he was a shy, reserved kid. But after learning the game from his role model Chauster, Doublelift became one of the best marksman in the world. And with his newfound talents came his cockiness. He loved to trash talk but often backed it up with his play, especially his Vayne mechanics. From calling people trash, or starting FreeSM chants, Doublelift was easily the most controversial figure in League. He added to it by shocking the world when he departed for long time rival TSM. He was often depicted as a bad teammate who was stubborn and hard to work with, but his skill was never in question. He’ll not only go down as one of the best North American players of all-time, but also as one of the most controversial.
