Kristoffer Gabrielsen, known as “LuX” is a 25-year-old player who has been playing for Beşiktaş Esports since October 2018. On 22 July 2019, he announced that Beşiktaş most of the time paying players salary later then It should be and also he said that they can’t take any payments so far and Beşiktaş didn’t pay for almost 7 months. LuX also thinks this probably not going to happen.

LuX said:

“As most of you already know we formed a team (Simsy, ultra, tomil & me) called “Diamond dogs after Simsy & ultra departed from “PENTA Sports”. We had our ups and downs and eventually got picked up by “Beşiktaş Esports” back in May/June of 2018 (12 months contracts), later to be announced in October
(yes, there was a significant gap in time from signing to announcement, we asked when it was going to be multiple times and always got the “next week” answer during this time, we were paid during this time) however this is where we start having issues with the organisation, late payments etc, we asked about it multiple times and were told payments were sent, we sometimes got payed 1-2 months late between October & December.”

LuX continued:

“After GLL S3 in Stockholm & Minsk qualifiers, we heard nothing from “Beşiktaş Esports” until we started asking for late payments again in February, we were told that they would be sent “soon”
a month goes by nothing arrives, we ask again and this time we are told that we don’t have a valid contract with “Beşiktaş Esports” as the company we signed with was dissolved over Christmas. (this is in March this year, 3 months later, they already owed us a significant amount of money at this point)”

LuX added:

“We’ve essentially been playing under the “Beşiktaş Esports” name since December without getting paid, all that time they have been promising that the money they owe would be paid in full (still waiting for that as of writing, probably not going to happen).”
