Scandal at ESL One Birmingham: 1win stated that their slot for the tournament was unfairly taken away from them

Timur "Ahilles" Kulmukhametov, the coach of 1win, stated that ESL gave OG their slot at the ESL One Birmingham tournament, even though the players already have ready visas and necessary documents.

The corresponding statement from the club's coach was published in his Telegram channel.

"Wait for the official announcement and the full story from us. A little spoiler.

Our entire team now has ready visas and passports for the trip to England for the tournament :)

ESL took our slot and gave it to the OG team"

Judging by Ahilles' words, he hints that the issue with the team's participation is not related to documents or the ability to travel to the tournament in the UK.

However, the coach of 1win has not yet indicated what caused the scandal but announced that details will be revealed soon.

ESL has not yet commented on Ahilles' statement, but earlier announced that they had to give the slot at ESL One Birmingham to the OG team. The reason is that 1win had visa issues for visiting the UK, where the competitions will take place.
