JKap calls his former teammates \u201ccowards\u201d and explains how Luminosity \u201cmishandled\u201d roster trade Former Luminosity player Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan has cleared the air surrounding the supposed \u2018mishandling\u2019 of his roster move to eUnited, after LG CEO & founder Steve Maida refuted accusations from Nadeshot. The controversy around JKap\u2019s move to eUnited began when 100 Thieves owner Matt \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag accused Luminosity of \u201cignoring [JKap] for months]\u201d as 100 Thieves showed interest in signing him. Nadeshot said during a live stream that LG \u201cdid JKap dirty\u201d, which quickly made the rounds in the community, as fans believed JKap had been left out in the cold by his former organization. However, in a Reddit thread discussing the situation, Maida claimed that what Nadeshot had said was \u201cfactually untrue\u201d and a deliberate attempt to smear his organization\u2019s good reputation. Maida claims that the org was only told by the other LG players that they did not want to play with JKap any longer one week ago, and up to that point had presumed he was staying with them. Maida then says that when JKap was informed of his teammates wishes, he asked for a move to eUnited, which LG granted. JKap responded to Maida, and while he did not dispute his version of events, he says that parts of the story have been left out in an attempt to \u201csave face\u201d. He explains that he told Luminosity immediately following the 2018 World Championship that he wanted a move to 100 Thieves, but \u201cit became clear that wasn\u2019t going to happen\u201d and gave up \u2013 under the impression he was staying with the LG roster. Unable to get an answer either from the organization or \u201cthe cowards on the new roster\u201d, JKap eventually asked for the trade to eUnited. Maida responded once more, following up to JKap\u2019s retort, explaining that the entirety of rostermania was \u201cdragged out\u201d, and that LG did not act \u201cmaliciously\u201d to screw him over, rather it was just an unfortunate circumstance. Once the rest of the LG roster informed him that they no longer wanted to play with JKap, Maida\u2019s options were \u201cslim\u201d, but believes he handled it in the best way he could. JKap is now officially a member of eUnited, playing with Clayster, Arcitys, Prestinni and aBeZy, while it is believed Luminosity will recruit Classic to round out their roster. It appears there is some definite bad blood between JKap and his former teammates, calling them \u2018cowards\u2019, which will certainly make the first event of the season, CWL Vegas, in December, more interesting \u2013 should the teams match up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
