I won't discus the accusations themselves here, this is not the place or time.



Regardless of whether I'm found “innocent” or “guilty” in the public eye, my reputation as a pro gamer is damaged severely. It's unlikely that I'll receive invites to major tournaments or showmatches as long as this matter is unresolved and I don't see any way for this to be resolved. I feel that staying with the Western Wolves would put the team in a negative light, especially considering how well the team has treated me, I would hate to negatively represent the WW team.



It's been a short stay, but one I thoroughly enjoyed. It's been great to have the opportunity to play for the WW team and I regret it coming to an end the way it is.

Unfortunately, as of late, it seems that the ugly side has been showing for too long. It's unfortunate Spades decided to leave, and I wish him the best of luck in the future! Tracking treasure down

hyptonic Profile Joined June 2011 1621 Posts #7 sucks, guess it was needed with people giving him (unwarranted, surely) death threats if he attended lans, there was no other choice.

Synche Profile Joined May 2010 United States 1322 Posts #8 Great statement and all, but I'm getting annoyed with companies saying they need to digest stuff before making a response. Stop having your employees do stupid shit please.



Don't be racist, don't be a cheater, and everything is fine.

Smancer Profile Blog Joined December 2010 United States 369 Posts #16 Does this mean that he has retired from the team? A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

neversummer Profile Joined September 2011 United States 156 Posts #18 We have attempted to investigate these claims (unfortunately not exhaustively because of how swiftly the rumors spiraled out of control).



Even more reason to investigate these claims "exhaustively."
