Having shown potential through his great performance in Solo Q, and with his experience from Griffin, fans can be hopeful on how the young jungler will perform in his new team. It is likely he will be competing with current JDG jungler Sung “Flawless” Yeon-jun for the starting role.
카나비 선수는 “처음 해외 경험 이라 설레기도하고 걱정도 되지만 실전 경험을 통해 더 성장하길 바라는 팀의 취지에 부흥할 수 있도록 그리핀에서의 경험을 살려 좋은 성적을 거둬 돌아오겠다.”라고 JDG 합류소감을 전했습니다.#GL_Kanavi #Farewell
