G2 Esports has joined the list of teams claiming they are owed extra money from ELEAGUE for their appearance in ELEAGUE Season 1.

On Tuesday, Slingshot's Jarek "DeKay" Lewis reported that six teams: Team SoloMid, Cloud9, Team Liquid, Counter Logic Gaming, NRG Esports and compLexity Gaming, are all alleging that ELEAGUE owes them $30,000 each in appearance fees.

Now, G2 Esports owner Carlos "ocelote" Rodriguez has stated on Twitter that G2 and its CS:GO players chose to share ELEAGUE's appearance fees with the understanding that it was separate from the prize money. G2 later learned this was not the case, and ocelote says the org chose to give the appearance fees to their players as if it was prize money.

Team Liquid co-owner Victor Goossens also took to Twitter, stating that he believed most teams understood that the $30,000 in minimum prize money was separate from the $30,000 minimum appearance fee for playing in the tournament.

However, FlipSid3 Tactics founder Hector Rosario responded to Goossens by stating that FlipSid3 did not believe this to be the case, and understood the contract to stipulate that the last-place teams received $30,000 total.

According to DeKay's report, ELEAGUE's contracts stated that teams would receive a minimum of $30,000 in appearance fees, while the teams believed that that $30,000 would be paid out on top of prize money. theScore esports has not been able to independently verify the details of this contract.

In a statement to theScore esports, a spokesperson for ELEAGUE said that all teams have been paid for ELEAGUE Season 1.

“All teams have been compensated per our agreements with them," the spokesperson stated. "We value our relationships with all teams and will continue to provide a best-in-class experience for them.”
