Some of the biggest esports organizations in the CIS region have banded together to write an open letter to Winstrike accusing them of fraudulent activities including the violation of contractual, financial and sports obligations to the teams and players.
The letter was published on cybersport.ru wherein forZe eSports, Virtus.pro, Gambit Esports and HellRaisers have all claimed that the Winstrike organization was unprofessional.
(Note: Cybersport.ru is a subsidiary of ESforce Holding, the parent company of Virtus.pro, one of the teams making allegations against Winstrike.)
Winstrike’s CEO Jaroslav Komkov was singled out and was accused of having unfulfilled his promises to the organizations' management and also of rescheduling payments of dues that Winstrike owed them.
