Former DOTA coach Su Peng publicly posted on social media, accusing the IG club of owing him salary

In the first stage of the new LPL season, after a series of intense matches, each team performed very well and attracted everyone's attention.  

At present, except for the AD group, the qualifying teams of the BC group have been settled, and WBG, JDG, BLG, and TT have all qualified with a perfect record. AL from Group A also successfully advanced, while TES and LGD will compete fiercely for the last qualifying spot.  

Recently, the IG team has been in turmoil. After losing to NIP, the dispute between the team's investors and Doinb attracted everyone's attention. After official mediation, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace. However, not long after the storm subsided, IG was exposed to the problem of wage arrears.  

Su Peng, a former coach who once played for the IG DOTA division, recently posted several posts on Weibo, stating that the IG team owed him salary and demanded that the club pay him back.  

It is reported that IG owes the coach 40% of his salary from 2021 to 2023, as well as all bonuses for 2024. In addition, several players are also owed seven-figure salaries. The former coach said that he had tried to communicate with IG many times about the issue of unpaid wages, but to no avail. IG's boss Wang Sicong seemed unaware of this, and in his response, he said that the management concealed the huge debt.  

In fact, IG had a large amount of unpaid wages before the reorganization, and the new owner also assumed these debts when acquiring IG. However, since the DOTA division has been disbanded and is not subject to the official constraints of the event, the problem of unpaid wages has not been resolved.  

IG's wage arrears incident has aroused public concern about the wage arrears problem in the e-sports industry. As an emerging industry, the e-sports industry has developed very rapidly in recent years, but at the same time, some problems have also been exposed. How to protect the legitimate rights and interests of players and coaches to prevent such incidents from happening again has become an urgent problem to be solved.
