The Ukrainian organizations B8 Esports and Monte exchanged barbs on the social media platform X. The conflict arose following statements by Monte CEO Dmytro Vovk: in a video addressing the scandal over unpaid wages to former club players, he accused members of the B8 Esports CS2 roster of communicating with Russian esports players.
B8 Esports: Good luck putting together a five-person roster on a budget meant for just one player.
Monte: We’ll be buying cheap young players from Russian teams, just like you.
B8 Esports: It seems your understanding of who the B8 players are “kissing up to” at tournaments is just as limited as your grasp of the difference between the words “buy” and “rent for free.” Zero players, rumors, debts, and twisting the facts. What a combo.
Earlier, former Monte player Aurimas “Bymas” Pipiras reported issues with payments from the organization. Bymas accused the club of delaying salaries and failing to pay out prize money and revenue from team stickers from the Major. His claims were also confirmed by former teammates.
