The unwritten rule in esports has always been players just take it. The comments, the threads, the stuff way past criticism into something darker... The story we all went along with is that it's the cost of being visible, part of the job, the price of getting paid to play games for a living.
But every year we accept that, we're teaching people that a line doesn't exist at all. If we don't fight when a real line gets crossed, we're saying right isn't right anymore.
Talking shit on x doesnt change anything long term, so we stopped negotiating and went to work to build a real process with one of the best firms in korea: Yulchon.
When something crosses from criticism into actual legal harm, it goes to people whose job is to act on it. Players, fans, our people first, that's the whole point of what a club is for.
And to be clear, criticize us all you want..bad drafts, bad calls, bad games, etc that's fandom and why we love sports so much. This is about the people who go somewhere else entirely and have always counted on nobody doing anything.
This will be a long fight but luckily we won't quit.
South Korean law firm Yulchon announced that it has signed an MoU with
@GenG to improve the protection of playersโ rights.
