FalleN accuses Immortals COO of \u201clying\u201d about payments after MIBR-Team Liquid move DreamHackShortly after the confirmation of Gabriel \u2018FalleN\u2019 Toledo\u2019s move to Team Liquid, leaving MIBR after two years, a disupte took place publicly between the Brazilian pro and Immortals COO, Tomi \u2018lurppis\u2019 Kovanen. [jwplayer f7GYaDHg] The spat came about after Team Liquid apologized to MIBR for failing to notify them of the announcement about FalleN\u2019s move. The team wrote on Twitter, \u201cIn the excitement of the day we forgot to give @MIBR warning before announcing Fallen. We strive to be good partners off the server and should have checked ourselves.\u201d Lurppis, a former player, caster, and analyst, now the COO at Immortals, MIBR\u2019s parent company, responded, saying it was \u201ccommon courtesy\u201d for organizations to agree on a release time for announcements. The conversation took a turn when a fan raised an issue around MIBR\u2019s signing of the old SK Gaming lineup, as luppis replied: \u201cwe continue pursuing options against SK because our German lawyers have advised us that SK illegally withheld ~$250k from the players, which we paid each at different times. However, we also paid them ~$100k each in extra salary above contract, but that never comes up\u201d Read More: TACO officially released from MiBR contract – FalleN took issue with this statement, responding \u201cThat\u2019s not true as you never paid me and made sure I sign out without receiving it,\u201d FalleN said. \u201cSigning an NDA with you doesn\u2019t mean I will see you lying on social media and be quiet.\u201d That\u2019s not true as you never paid me and made sure I sign out without receiving it. Signing an NDA with you doesn\u2019t mean I will see you lying on social media and be quiet. \u2014 Gabriel Toledo (@FalleNCS) January 10, 2021 Kovanen responded to FalleN\u2019s accusation, explaining that it was worked out as \u201cpart of the buyout\u201d and reiterating that Immortals \u201cpaid you ~$100k extra out of the kindness of our hearts in good faith, outside of what we had contractually agreed to.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomi\/status\/1348114318638817281 Clarifying his comment, lurppis continued: \u201cKindness of heart was a figure of speech, but we paid them the full salary even though they weren\u2019t legally entitled to it because we wanted to show good faith and thought it would help long-term.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomi\/status\/1348126415816822784 FalleN has not publicly responded to the Immortals COO since, so a resolution to this dispute does not appear to be forthcoming. For now, FalleN is joining up with his new North American teammates under the Team Liquid banner. The squad\u2019s first competitive action together will be at the BLAST Premier Global Final on January 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
