TyLoo Esports Team Loses Players and Coach
YuanZhang “Attacker” Sheng and YuLun “fancy1” Cai have been removed from TyLoo’s lineup, along with their coach. HaoWen “somebody” Xu has also been suspended from the active lineup.
Reasons for the Changes
China’s best esports team, TyLoo, has made changes to their roster after some team members contacted other teams and players while representing TyLoo.
Temporary Stand-ins
To fill the gaps in their roster for the upcoming WESG World Finals tournament, TyLoo has recruited stand-in players: Zhen “HZ” Huang, LiKan “ryk” Luo, and Lei “bottle” Mao.
Player and Coach Statements
The players and coach involved in the changes gave a statement to HLTV.org regarding their side of the story. They mentioned that a fuller statement would be provided on Jan. 11.
“First of all, the players never actually had a contract in writing with TyLoo,” said Coach Karsa. “The organization promised that the players would have the same basic salary for every single player, but they failed their promise. Mo, DD, and fancy1 were later offered more salary but were told not to tell this to other teammates. Mo and DD accepted, fancy1 refused. This caused resentment for attacker, somebody, and karsa. The organization didn’t keep their promise to pay everyone the same salary, so players decided to leave. Then TyLoo made an alliance with the event organizers to ban the players.”
TyLoo’s Official Statement
TyLoo also issued an official statement indicating that the coach and player fancy1 had contacted other organizations while still under contract, damaging the relationship with the company and causing internal conflicts in the team.
As a result, TyLoo has made the following decisions:
- Discharge Coach Karsa from his position.
- Put fancy1 and Attacker into inactive status, banning them from representing TyLoo in any events.
- Place somebody under suspension.
Reaction from TyLoo’s Manager
GAMURS reached out to TyLoo’s manager, KIndy, for his opinion on the situation. He stated that the evidence provided by Attacker, fancy1, and Karsa is ridiculous, as there is a valid contract between the club and the players and the players secretly contacted other organizations, violating the contract.
Updates on the situation will be provided as more information becomes available.
