The fan group of Spanish League of Legends club Movistar KOI, Las Karpas, reported the team's workplace exploitation through its official X (Twitter) account on Thursday.
In a tweet, Las Karpas accused the club of frequent incidents of employees bullying their colleagues, and even of team players being ignored even when they were sick.
At the same time, even the staff meals were handled by an outsourcing company, but when team player Supa complained to the team's management about complications due to peanut allergies and when an employee found glass fragments mixed in the milkshakes provided, they were coldly told to "find a way to deal with it yourself."
Las Karpas added that fans supporting their beloved club does not mean that the club can take other people's love for granted, nor does it mean that they will continue to remain blindly silent when workplace exploitation occurs in the club.
The fan group reiterated that these complaints were mainly made to speak out for injustice from a human rights perspective, and that no one should be subjected to workplace bullying.
As soon as Las Karpas' accusation was released, it attracted support from netizens around the world, and many fans of other clubs left messages asking Movistar KOI to explain the incident.
As public opinion became increasingly intense, Movistar KOI CEO Adam Adamou responded a few hours later that he had appointed a commissioner to thoroughly investigate the matter and would give Las Karpas and netizens a reasonable explanation after the results of the investigation were released.
In addition, Adamou also confirmed that despite these accusations, Movistar KOI will continue to participate in the LEC Spring Season and will compete in the play-off starting on May 25 to compete for the qualification to participate in the Esports World Cup.
