The Korean media has added more unfavorable details about Clid.
These past few days may be the most forgettable for Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) since they started building their 'dream team' to conquer the LCK and the World Championships. Instead of demonstrating dominant performance and showcasing the 'all-star' lineup, HLE players have yet to prove themselves worthy of the investment made. Moreover, their captain, Clid, is entangled in a highly serious issue.
As known, Clid has been accused by a female fan of using inappropriate language during their conversation. Furthermore, Clid made highly disrespectful propositions, which even an ordinary person would find hard to accept, let alone a professional LCK player. Shortly after the incident was made public by the female fan, Clid was removed from HLE's official lineup. Naturally, with an inexperienced player like Grizzly chosen as his replacement, HLE suffered consecutive defeats.
Not stopping there, recently, Clid's situation has taken a more serious turn. According to Korean media reports, based on accusations made by a female fan (referred to as Erica by the press here), this girl was born in 2005. At the time when Clid made inappropriate remarks during his conversation with her, Erica was only 17 years old. This means that in the worst-case scenario, Clid might completely end his professional career after this incident.
This is truly regrettable, especially in the Summer Season 2023, when Clid and HLE were on a winning streak before the incident occurred. Additionally, in a recent development, a fan's truck paraded around LoL Park with messages revolving around Clid's situation. The LCK organizers have also been criticized for not imposing any specific penalties for Clid's and HLE's case.
Originally emerging from T1, Clid's career has faced challenges. Consequently, when he was chosen for HLE's 'all-star' lineup, as captain, many fans expressed doubts. However, just as he began to prove his abilities, Clid himself discarded the opportunity due to unwarranted troubles he caused. Furthermore, he may also be forsaking the very career he has diligently built over many years in the League of Legends community.
