Since posting a status to warn Tinikun last night, the COO of GAM Esports – Nguyễn Khánh Hiệp “Izumin” has finally made an appearance after the recent turmoil. During his personal stream, he addressed a flurry of questions regarding the matter.
Through the live stream, Izumin first asserted that GAM Esports does not owe salaries to any players, according to the information he has. At the same time, the director also sent a message to Zeros stating that if he truly believes GAM owes him salary, he should contact him directly to resolve it rather than going on social media.
As soon as Izumin went on stream, Tinikun made a very “provocative” move by sharing the link to this stream, simultaneously hinting that the current management of GAM are all “freeloading” on items that he and his former colleagues had personally purchased, such as Izumin’s Aorus chair worth 8 million VND, or phones that he had bought but later left for others in the organization to use.
Previously, Tinikun also shared a post launching a pre-order for GAM’s jersey, listing a series of sponsor names appearing on this new jersey model, affirming that these are all sponsorship contracts that he brought to the black-and-gold team.
In the latest development, Tinikun posted another lengthy status, primarily to assert that he operates with full transparency, and then rebutted Izumin’s claim: “GAM Esports currently does not owe salaries to anyone, or it could be an oversight that I am not aware of regarding this issue.”
Additionally, this former coach also updated that he received 25 million from Izumin. This is the amount he lent to Kiaya to cover overdue prize money, while also reminding that GAM still owes this player an additional 10 million in prize money that needs to be paid immediately.
