He explained the decision: “When there is overwhelming public opinion to the opposite there is no choice but to cease all negotiations. The organization wishes the team good luck in their future endeavors and with their quest to make the majors.”

He added: “I am disappointed in the rumoured conduct of the players, but for the sake of integrity in Esports, 24/7 Esports does not condone match fixing or even the discussion of it. Because of this, we have decided to terminate any support towards the team.”

Despite the announcement of a partnership with the team in late December, the 24/7 Esports site statement specified that no official contract had been signed between the company and the team though negotiations had been ongoing.
