Pakistani Valorant Player Khattak Exposes Clarity Esports for Nonpayment of Salary

A storm seems to be brewing in the Pakistani professional Valorant scene, as Asfandyar "Khattak X" Javid has come forward to reveal that he has not been paid his salary by Clarity Esports since the last four months. Not only did he expose the Pakistani organization for non-payment issues but also shared screenshots to prove his points, while announcing that "I have now run out of patience and I will not be playing under Clarity Esports anymore. I am now a free agent".

Clarity Esports was recently seen competing at the Valorant Conquerors Championship (VCC) 2022: Stage 1 - PK (Pakistan) and AF (Afghanistan) Qualifier, fighting through the Open Qualifiers to reach as far as the semifinals before bowing out to Salt Esports.

Khattak leaves Clarity Esports' Valorant roster after being unpaid for four months

Professional Pakistani Valorant player, Khattak X revealed that he has not been paid his salary by Clarity Esports for the last four months.

In his statement via Twitter, the 20-year-old said that after being patient for a long time, he feels the time has come for him to speak up against Clarity Esports. Since joining the organization on 16^th September 2021, he has only been paid his salary once, for the first month.

After that, Khattak X has not been paid any salary despite having requested it multiple times from the organization's owner Nehan Khan. Every time he spoke about his salary or demanded for it to be paid, promises were made by Nehan but never fulfilled.

Admitting his own mistake in this situation, Khattak X said that,

Khattak X even shared multiple screenshots of chats between him and Nehan where he can be seen requesting his salary at different points in time.

Initially, Khattak X can be seen complying and agreeing with Nehan when he was presented with a reason for not receiving his salary, but over time he started losing his patience and went on to ask for his due payment in the team's group chat. He had further declared in the group itself that if his salary is not paid by 6^th February then he would be leaving the organization.

One week after the deadline, Khattak X did not receive any due payments and went ahead to share his experience on Twitter, while also declaring that he will no longer be playing under Clarity Esports and that he is a free agent now.

Multiple Pakistani players and personalities raised their voices against this issue including popular esports host and caster Mamoon "TeaTime" Sabri, who labelled the organization as "a ******* disgrace".

Following the accusations, Nehan Khan came forward taking full responsibility for the situation and accepted his fault saying that whatever transpired was wrong and all the issues have now been resolved as he paid the full amount to Khattak X.

The payment has not been accepted by Khattak X though, who has returned any and all amount sent to him by Nehan, claiming that he does not want any money that he is owed. He was only sharing his experience to spread awareness and help others speak up if they were in a similar situation.

In an exclusive statement to AFK Gaming, Khattak X has claimed that there is another player he knows who has not received his salary.

If the above statement is true then it might be conflicting with Nehan Khan's confession that the rest of the roster was paid on time. For now, Khattak's case has been settled with Nehan who verified the accusations and accepted his fault.
