CLG’s League of Legends team has had a terrible year, but the organization is now making a roster change. CLG revealed today that it will bench LCS veteran Pobelter and start former 100 Thieves mid-laner Damonte for the upcoming weekend of games.

The illustrious institution has been in disarray for quite some time, with 2021 being one of its most turbulent years yet. Despite having some of the league’s most experienced players, the squad had a poor 10-26 record through both the 2021 Spring and Summer Splits.

Many League fans believed that with well-known names like Broxah, WildTurtle, Finn, Smoothie, and Pobelter on the roster, this team could become a dark horse roster for the playoffs because almost every player on the squad has plenty of experience with pressure-filled situations, from competing in the postseason to attending high-stakes international tournaments. However, after six weeks, it was evident that the lineup was not working.

ROSTER UPDATE

We are making a change in the mid lane. @Damonte will be starting for CLG this weekend. Thank you to our fans for continuing to support the team. We're committed to finishing this season strong. #CLGFIGHTING pic.twitter.com/56XQpL1WZa

This could be one of several adjustments made in an effort to right the ship, especially after the org aired a now-deleted video of a “secret team meeting” in which CLG’s general manager Tafokints claimed that roster swaps would be made owing to a lack of positive results.

The video drew widespread criticism from the League community, who chastised the team for making such a private and heartbreaking moment public. It didn’t help that many Bud Light sponsorship logos were edited over the material in this serious film. As a result, CLG removed the video and apologized.

Damonte, the 23-year-old who left 100 Thieves in May, will make his Summer Split debut in 2021. He’ll begin the split with challenging matchups against Team Liquid, Cloud9, and Immortals this weekend. Pobelter, on the other hand, has yet to comment on his future in the league.
