The MDL also issued their statement regarding the conditions of the MDL team.
To our MDL and esports community, “We are aware of the situation concerning Blacklist Lunatix, and are currently investigating this issue. All teams are encouraged to prioritize player welfare to ensure that they are given the best platform to pursue professional esports growth. MDL Philippines is a development league that seeks to provide a safe space and opportunity for players to thrive, and are reaching out to the affected parties accordingly.”
Time and again this has been happening in the local esports teams, there has been a lot of bad actors lately. This just adds to the list. Kudos to the team at Spin.ph for bringing this into the light. I would also like to applaud the team and country manager in supporting the players and having the courage to speak up. This sort of practices should not exist in the industry.
Now this begs the question on how can justice be served to the players? As of writing this article there has been no formal statement by Lunatix regarding the issue
