Hello, this is Dotori98. I previously played as a healer for the Asia MRC 1st place team. To begin with the conclusion, I will not be participating in the upcoming MRI tournament. During the preparation process, I served as the team leader. I formed the team, recruited players, secured sponsors, and personally attended related meetings while handling much of the team management and overall tournament preparation. While we were conducting practice scrims, I later learned through conversations with teammates that negative comments about my skill and playstyle had been made when I was not present. I was told that there were remarks such as, “Because of him our team compositions become too simple,” and “He’s difficult to work with.” I also came to understand that this went beyond simply sharing opinions. Without discussing the matter with me directly, internal discussions had already taken place about replacing my position with another player. I was informed through a third party that they had even looked for a potential replacement and were planning to test that player. In other words, instead of discussing the issue with me directly or attempting to resolve it together, discussions and plans to replace me had already been taking place without my knowledge. I only learned about this afterward when the situation was brought to my attention. After confirming the situation, I spoke with the team members involved and received apologies. During that conversation, one member said he would take responsibility and leave the team. After that, two other members stated that they also wished to leave and continue with him. At that point, I felt that it would be better for me to step down rather than have three players leave the team at once and cause further disruption. For that reason, I decided to step away from the team, and as a result I will not be participating in this tournament. Personally, this situation was very surprising and difficult for me. I believed it was appropriate to share these facts with my fans, so I am making this statement with the consent of the individuals involved. (During this process, I received confirmation from the parties involved that “as long as the content is based on factual information, it would be fine to disclose it on stream,” and this communication has been preserved as a record.) However, despite two of the individuals agreeing to informing the public, I later received a message from one person stating that if this matter were revealed on stream and it caused any harm to them, they would take action in response. Since then, I understand that the player involved has left the team along with several other members and moved to another team. That is all I have to say regarding this matter. I will continue doing my best in my own position moving forward. Thank you to everyone who has supported me. I am sharing this statement both to explain the situation I am currently facing to my fans and because the Marvel Rivals professional scene in Korea is relatively small, and I hope that situations like this do not happen to others in the future.
