WE ARE OWED OVER $100,000 USD by Saudi Arabian Esports team @AlQadsiahES! @yagami2428, @THEJON07 & myself are owed over $100,000 USD between us, comprising of prize money, salaries and reimbursements extending as far back as mid-2024. This total does not even include the many people from the fighting game department and other games, that have also experienced these persistent issues and who remain unpaid. This situation is unacceptable and contributes to the increasingly poor reputation of the Saudi & Middle East based organizations. If an @aramco owned organization, can fail so completely, then what hope is there for others? Every possible effort has been made to resolve the matter directly with the team for unreasonably long period of time. Not a single amicle outcome was presented by the organization. We were only met with excuses, stalling tactics and complete disregard for the severity of the circumstances, eventuating in just being flat-out ignored. Promises were made constantly but never kept and communication was near non-existent. Not only did @AlQadsiahES not meet their payment obligations to the players and staff, but they were an organizational mess. Failing to properly support players in nearly every way possible, travel, visas, expenses, branding, social media. Absolutely embarrasing. One of the few outliers who always did their best for the players and staff he was responsible for, was @Haohken. We worked together closely, sharing the workload of over four different roles, but even he could only do so much when his hands were tied by the higher ups. We continued performing our contractual obligations in good faith, whilst being beyond patient. Expecting improvement in the infrastructure of the teams, departments and the organization overall, as this was continually promised. There's a lot more that is to be said regarding these circumstances, including threats and attempts to silence players from speaking out publicly regarding their treatment. It's time that responsiblity is taken: @AlQadsiahES @Al_Qadsiah @AlQadsiahEN @aramco
