I can't believe this is the statement @GGNickcvillo is making while representing GG. In his own post he says the following as the timeline:
1. The players requested to play TI not under the GG org (reasons currently not stated publicly by either party)
2. In this statement GG org agreed to let them participate as independent players for TI
3. GG org told Valve that they donโt want the slot even thought they agreed to let the players participate as independant players (????????)
4. This was used as leverage to try to force the players to agree to the org's terms
5. The players agreed to play as GG, but GG org said they had "no confidence that the team or members of the team would remain with GG or be in a position to represent the team and their colleagues at TI"
6. Blamed the players for "delay[s] in making decisions and lack of preparedness to successfully achieve the desired outcome at TI"
And this is purely from the GG org's side?? Come on, at least try to make yourself look better. Who would ever want to play under the @GaiminGladiator banner in anything after this?
