Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev has unilaterally terminated his deal with Bpro, the Bulgarian player has announced.

In a TwitLonger post, the 19-year-old wrote that his benching led to the decision and added that he "did not like the behaviour from some players in the last 12 hours."

Contacted by HLTV.org, the Bulgarian youngster claimed that there is a clause in his Bpro deal allowing him to unilaterally terminate his sponsorship agreement with the organisation, who had removed the player from the starting roster after he had announced that he would not be playing for the team anymore.

poizon terminates Bpro deal

poizon is on the wishlist of Windigo, who have not been able to reach an agreement with Bpro over a transfer fee. Bpro CEO Alexander "JoSeKi" Gerenski has accused Windigo of tampering with the player, who was allegedly asked to buy himself out of his contract.

Bpro have not yet commented on poizon's decision. The Bulgarian team are currently competing in CSGOFAST.COM Cup 4 with Nikola "⁠NK4Y⁠" Radushev, a former Bpro member himself, as a stand-in.

UPDATE: Bpro CEO Alexander "JoSeKi" Gerenski has issued the following statement regarding the player's situation:

"First, I would like to clarify that the attempts to transfer poizon to Windigo were a carefully-planned action that does not involve just him. poizon was one of the core players of our team. We took him on board nearly two years ago, when he was a casual player who did not have a future in the professional CS:GO scene. We have invested a lot of money and resources to make him the player that he is today.

"Windigo made a very low offer for poizon and we could not reach a deal. It appears that we interrupted someone's plan and they proceeded to turn the player against the whole team and the organisation by spending time instructing him to lie on social media and to appear as the victim.

"The contract terms were discussed in the office of an established law firm in Sofia in front of several witnesses and lawyers. The meeting is documented and recorded. This is his third contract with the organization. He was offered better conditions and his demands were met. The claims that poizon was forced to sign a contract are completely false since we have never forced a player to sign a contract and he has always signed contracts with us of his own free will.

"I would like to emphasize that all terms of poizon’s contract are valid. According to these terms he is not allowed to play or represent any other organization until October of 2019, and failure to comply with these terms will result in legal proceedings. Bpro currently holds the rights of representation of the player with third parties and other organisations.

"Although Windigo‘s CEO has stated publicly that there was no deal for poizon’s buyout, it is clear that, behind the scenes, their team continues to interfere. Every attempt to attract and take a player of our current roster without the approval of Bpro Gaming’s management is a harmful act and damages the relations between both organizations. Moreover, Poizon breached the confidentiality terms of his contract by negotiating with Windigo personally without the explicit involvement of Bpro. Again, I would like to make it clear that he cannot compete for any other organization without the written approval of Bpro Gaming.

"The new contract, which all the players from the current roster have signed, has much better conditions, and, in our view, we have some of the top players from the Bulgarian scene. Since we started working with the new line-up we have had an amazing run, reaching a win-rate of over 95% after just one month of practice.
