Ill say an honest judgement of griff
Griff pretty much carried our team through every map besides viaduct. Although griff was on some of our team mates nerves through all of his time being on the team, but I didn't put as much correcting as I should of towards that issue.
Our combo as a whole was always pretty wonky, we never had a settled main caller throughout griff being on the team. It was really me and griff making most of the calls for the team with rainman (when he was on the team) filling in for the flank. Our play styles also didn't connect, I was a pretty aggressive demo at the beginning of the season and I think griff wanted to be one of the rando/grape types of pockets where he takes all the heals and just walks on people.
Viaduct week was when things got really disorganized we had picked up aiera when rainman left/got cut from the team. Also framesh1ft, our medic, had gotten in a car accident and was out the whole week so we left it to our sub medic coldster to play for him. I always loved playing with coldster, he wasn't experienced but he always was good at micromanaging and moving players where they needed to be. I should say this before I go any further, there was a point in a viaduct scrim where we had jaguar ringing medic for us and griff said something like "im sorry for my inexperienced team".
Anyway back to coldster, there was pretty much a shift in main calling at this point. It was pretty much me and coldster doing the calls instead of me and griff. Griff became sorta a burden about the whole main calling thing throughout the week constantly complaining about the fact that we had no established main caller. At the same time our soldier combo wasn't doing great and I was receiving messages from my team mates about it. So I decided to give aiera and griff both criticism since I knew they were both good players and weren't playing so hot on viaduct. Both of them shouted at me a second after. I remember leaving the mumble calling them both retarded. Maybe I shouldn't of disconnected, maybe I shouldn't of disconnected leaving with that comment but I knew whatever I told either of them would go in one ear and out the other because in there eyes I'm just some shitty player that doesn't know anything about this game.
There were multiple fights with me and griff in viaduct week a person I had considered a friend until then, not only about the game things personal as well. When matches rolled in and griff didn't put on the most impressive performance and threw one of the matches against junes team, me and most of our players had made the decision to cut him.
Overall I think griff is a good pocket he just needs to accept criticism better and needs to realize when to stop trolling and take things seriously. If he can contain his ego, treat the game seriously, and find a team that properly suits him he'd do great things in open.
