De københavnske ulve er i den grad ikke ude af suppedasen endnu, efter at LCS holdets manager, Karl "Dentist" Krey, blev hacket, og private samtaler mellem ham og organisationens ejer, Jakob "JLK" Lund efterfølgende blev lækket. Nu har streaming-tjenesten Azubu meldt ud via et indlæg på reddit, at de dropper et samarbejde med Copenhagen Wolves, som tilsyneladende havde været på bordet.
Recently, we talked to Copenhagen Wolves about their interest in coming over to Azubu to stream on our service. Since then it’s come to our attention that team management may have been planning to use our financial support in a way that does not line up with our beliefs. We were shocked to find out how they might have treated their players in terms of the distribution of the money. Players need to be rewarded fully and fairly for their hard work, long hours, and dedication to eSports and the community. Charles - director of community ved Azubu.
Det er vigtigt for Azubu, at spillerne fra de organisationer, der indgår i et samarbejde, bliver behandlet ordentligt. Og det er ud fra de lækkede samtaler ikke tilfældet hos Copenhagen Wolves, mener Azubu.
In light of these latest facts, we will no longer consider adding Copenhagen Wolves to Azubu at this time. Protection and fair compensation of the players and talent is very important to us and we will be taking additional steps in the future to help prevent these types of situations.
We are sad because we really wanted to support the players of Copenhagen Wolves. But we also have to make sure players are fairly compensated for their hard work. We believe that proper support of the pro players is the best way to ensure that our LoL eSports scene is filled with the best talent available.
Azubu smækker dog ikke døren i for Copenhagen Wolves for stedse. Alle kan ændre sig, skriver deres director of community, og rette op på deres fejl. Det er derfor ikke umuligt, at vi ser et samarbejde i fremtiden imellem de to organisationer. Det kræver dog nok, at Copenhagen Wolves får bedre styr på deres management og giver deres spillere en fair behandling.
We believe anyone can change course, fix their errors, and become something better in eSports. But we also believe that players should be treated appropriately and supported by their organization.
