However, i<strong>nstead of competing<\/strong> in the tournament, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/news\/dota-2\/gaimin-gladiators-withdraws-from-the-international-2025\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">organization decided to withdraw<\/a> due to an internal issue with its roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As expected, the team made some<strong> significant roster changes<\/strong> and Quinn, one of their stars, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/news\/dota-2\/quinn-retires-from-professional-dota-2\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">even announced that he will be retiring<\/a> from Dota 2. We thought that this case was over and everyone would move forward, but it seems like this was not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday afternoon, we learnt that <strong>Gaimin Gladiators filed a massive $7.5M CAD lawsuit against four former players &#8211; Ace, Watson, Tofu and Quinn<\/strong>. According to the information we have, the reason why GG is suing its former players was because sponsor relationships and failure to deliverables negatively impacted the organization..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The l<strong>awsuit was filed in Ontario<\/strong> and some sources claim that one of the reasons for the decision was <strong>comments made by Quinn<\/strong>. He made a comment about Russia during a match and criticized a person solely because of their nationality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this, <strong>GG actually lost a sponsorship deal in the face of Winline, a Russian bookmaker<\/strong>. Some sources say that his deal was worth <strong>close to $3M<\/strong> and aside from that, GG missed out on several other deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, What Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is definitely the biggest lawsuit in Dota 2 we&#8217;ve seen so far. <strong>Gaimin Gladiators was one of the most prominent Dota 2 organizations in the world<\/strong>, but this lawsuit changes everything. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated, but one thing is certain: it will be a lengthy legal battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, you are reading this right.
