Stalwart Esports' statement about PUBG Mobile lineup's departure, dispute, and ongoing legal discussion
In a statement, Stalwart Esports said the organization couldn’t secure the renewal of the PUBG Mobile roster's contracts despite their best efforts to meet and exceed industry standards in terms of monetary compensation. They said:
"The players were given the option to opt out of the renewal clause which they denied and rather expressed their interest in the renewal with Stalwart Esports until the expiry of the contract i-e 1st January, 2024. Unexpectedly in less than 24 hours of the expiry, the Coach refused to renew with us. This sudden shift put us in a challenging position, necessitating last-minute adjustments and causing both financial and Reputational damage to our organisation."
Stalwart Esports added that the players announced their exit amid ongoing legal discussions between them and the organization. It further stated that the players shouldn’t have made any public statements until the dispute was resolved legally by the competent court:
"This compelled us to issue a clarification statement on the same to avoid any confusions and to alarm other esports clubs exploring possible acquisitions, that it should be done at their own risk and cost, on account of the fact that the matter is pending before the courts for adjudication and we shall seek no responsibility for any loss or damages caused to any Esports clubs that may occur due to the court's judgement."
Stalwart Esports then gave the players their best wishes for their future endeavors. The organization also stated that they would provide all the updates regarding the legal proceedings in due time.
