Six weeks after lighting up First Stand, BFX's 18-year-old phenom has been pulled from the active roster, not for his play, but for "repeated breaches of the team rules".
BNK FEARX have placed Nam "Diable" Dae-geun on send-down status, pulling the reigning LCK Rookie of the Year out of the active roster and demoting him to the youth team. The org broke the news in a public statement, citing professionalism issues rather than performance.
According to BFX, Diable failed to attend a scheduled fan meeting last week, despite the staff pushing him to show up until the very last moment. The statement also points to repeated cases of internal rules being ignored. The send-down is framed as a chance for him to "reflect and grow further as a professional player." BFX apologized directly to the fans left disappointed at the meeting.
Diable is not just any rookie. The 18-year-old won the 2025 LCK Rookie of the Year award and Finals MVP at the Asia Invitational in his debut season. At First Stand 2026, he landed two pentakills, becoming one of only two players ever to do so at a single international LoL event,
