League of Legends: BNK FEARX benched ADC player Diable for his unexcused absence from the club's fan meeting..

Korean League of Legends club BNK FEARX unexpectedly announced on Tuesday via their official X (Twitter) account that their star ADC player, Diable, had been immediately benched due to poor attitude.

According to BNK FEARX's official statement, Diable's unexcused absence from the club's fan meeting last week disappointed supporters and teammates alike with his behaviour, attitude, and professionalism. He had also exhibited unprofessional conduct on several occasions prior to this.

During the process, the club's management, coaches, and manager attempted to communicate with Diable, but to no avail.

Because his behaviour had seriously violated the club's established values and code of conduct, BNK FEARX management decided to immediately relegate Diable to the bench as punishment.

BNK FEARX understands that many may find it difficult to accept Diable's demotion, given that he was developed through their youth academy and promoted to the first team as a core member. However, they also asked fans for their understanding of the club's difficulties. The club also believes that a player's great  competitive performance does not justify a poor attitude or looking down on others.

The club will use Diable's incident to strengthen the professionalism education of everyone within the organization to ensure that similar incidents are avoided in the future. Finally, BNK FEARX would like to take this opportunity to apologize to fans who were disappointed by Diable's unexcused absence from last week's meet-and-greet.

Following Diable's demotion, Slayer will temporarily replace him as the botlaner.

Meanwhile, the club's decision several weeks ago to bench mid laner VicLa and promote DayStar to the first-team's starting lineup was due to disagreements among the players during training camp.

During this period, DayStar and VicLa rotated with the each other and trained with the other starting players in training camp, and DayStar developed chemistry with Diable during this time. However, with the latter now relegated to the bench, the club has decided to reconsider and reveal the new starting lineup as soon as possible.
