Tam disputed the idea that the leak benefited M8 or had been orchestrated by its board of directors. According to him, the players were ready to join Gentle Mates since September 27-28, while the organizations were negotiating privately around the BO and experiencing disagreements. He noted that discussions were still ongoing on October 4 at 1:30 AM, when the leak sparked a wave of reactions on Twitter, theories, and rumors that he deemed false. According to Tam, Gota had then made a few remarks on stream to try to calm the situation, but this had made it worse, in a context where some were looking to fuel a conflict between M8 and KC. Tam added that the negotiations had then stalled and that the leak had not benefited either organization. He strongly criticized the person behind the disclosure, deeming them particularly foolish. #M8 #GentleMates #eSport (translated)
