B34R CL4N vs Former Players: Contract Dispute Goes Public

A bitter legal dispute has erupted between African esports organization B34R CL4N and their former Call of Duty Mobile World Championship Stage 5 roster, with both sides issuing competing statements and accusations.​

B34R CL4N's Allegations

B34R CL4N announced legal proceedings against their former players on November 17, claiming multiple contract breaches. The organization alleges players failed to return organization-owned devices, refused to honor agreed revenue-sharing terms for Stage 5 prize money, and attempted to obtain funds through misrepresentation of tournament requirements. B34R CL4N stated it exhausted resolution efforts before initiating legal action and formally requested CODM organisers investigate and sanction the players.​

Players Fire Back

The former players swiftly released a counter-statement categorically rejecting all allegations. They claim B34R CL4N breached their July 2025 contracts by failing to pay monthly stipends and bonuses for August through October 2025, and not providing promised logistical support, travel allowances, and performance incentives.​
On the prize money dispute, players assert that distributions are handled exclusively by Activision and haven't been paid yet, meaning they received no funds from the organization and therefore withheld none. They further claim coach fees and device decisions were made under B34R CL4N's direct instruction.​

Counterclaims Filed

The players have formally countered with claims for outstanding salaries and bonuses, unfulfilled benefits, damages for reputational injury, accrued interest, and legal costs. They assert B34R CL4N's publication misrepresents facts and may constitute defamation.​
Both parties indicate they will pursue legal remedies through judicial channels. B34R CL4N advised the community to exercise caution when engaging with the players, while the players maintain they upheld all obligations in good faith.​

Let's just try not to devaluate other team's effort which make it to stage 5, just because the so called 'better teams' are not there.

It doesn't mean that this year's teams dont deserve to get any good result. Their efforts have been and will be there no matter what happened.

🇪🇬 B34R CL4N Face Government Permit Roadblock Ahead of CODM Worlds

Africa’s representatives at the #CODMWC2025, Egypt’s B34R CL4N, are at serious risk of missing the championship due to travel permit issues.
Under Egyptian law, esports athletes require an official clearance letter from the Ministry of Youth & Sports to leave the country for international competitive events.
Despite qualifying, the team has not received this mandatory approval, preventing them from obtaining a travel permit.

📅 Travel date: November 4
⏳ Without intervention, this could lead to disqualification from the world finals in Poland.

The team has appealed to @emysofficial to expedite the process and ensure Africa’s only qualified squad can represent the region on the global stage.
