Ex-Wings Players' Weibo

has translated statements from the former Wings players, shadow,

"But what was ultimately so key for us throughout the incident, is that back in the beginning when my friend first introduced us to Wings’ owner, he would frequently eat with us, come visit us at our team house, come visit and talk to us and encourage us before LANs. But ever since we won TI he never came to see us, and kept hemming and hawing and delaying on two months’ salary. This isn’t an issue of money, but more of the emotions and feelings team members have towards their owner. A combination of slumping competitive form and a hurtful relationship with our owner caused us to decide to part ways, and wholeheartedly put ourselves into this upcoming competition (the Kiev Major)."

"I also want to say, don’t believe all the rumors and flames going around on the internet before, please respect the team and club that is Wings Gaming. Though we’re switching organizations, the five of us are still together, and it won’t change."

"We were like good friends, because our hard work together made Wings Dota 2 better and better. But somehow winning TI seemed like a reversal, creating a state of uncaring and indifference, as if the owner had no relationship with us. After New Years we all tried to adjust and improve our form, and rebuild our confidence. But it was right at this time that the club stopped giving us backed salary, and there were problems with the club’s operations. At first we didn’t pay too much mind, but after the owner kept delaying on us without explanation, we began to feel disappointed in him. For about two months we experienced many instances where a set date for payment would pass without any response, and it made us feel like we were being cheated. It’s not because we lack for this bit of money, and at the same time we’re willing to go through tough times together with the club, but instead this attitude and treatment caused us to completely lose trust in our owner. Though the owner didn’t run away or disappear, and ultimately paid us the salary we were owed, our hearts are no longer with Wings."

"I’ll begin with ESL Genting 2017, the final tournament for us before Chinese New Year. At that point we weren’t playing well, and the atmosphere in the team was deteriorating. But in the second game of our Best of 3 against Newbee, we took advantage of our opponent’s mistakes and our own excellent execution to complete a very difficult comeback, and that was a huge shot of adrenaline to the heart for us. In the Game 3 that followed, we rode this momentum to a 20,000 gold advantage, but some key mistakes later on gave the game away for us.We took this half-believing, half-doubting mindset with us into the New Year break.

After getting together again, we got into our previous state of constantly being on the verge of disbanding, but the ebb and flow once again kept us in the same sea. After the waves calmed a bit we went back into our usual training routines, of which I won’t say too much, and everyone saw our results at SLI and DAC. Poor. But that’s also when the fires were lit for our departure from Wings."
