Today, renowned esports journalist Richard Lewis spoke out against the Gamers8 series tournaments and those who worked at this festival.

Richard Lewis:

I'll read you a piece of news. "Saudi border guards killed hundreds of refugees and migrants from Ethiopia who were trying to enter the kingdom through the border with Yemen, from March 2022 to June 2023".The issue with Savvy Gaming Group is that its disgusting tentacles have penetrated the very heart of esports. Its leaders are the same people who give orders to kill. The crown prince is the head of the board of directors of Savvy Gaming Group. His brother is responsible for the development of esports in the Saudi Arabian government. These two organizations own Gamers8.
Yes, I know that the Saudis own 80% of events in CS and if you speak out against it, you'll lose your job. These people do such things! You cannot support BLM in March and then go work for those who are mowing down refugees in August.

 

Remember, the Saudi Arabian organization called Savvy Gaming Group previously bought ESL Gaming GmbH and Faceit, thus capturing 80% of the market in esports CS:GO!

Recall that the last Gamers8 2023 took place from August 16 to August 20, 2023, and the organizers of the tournament were the Saudi Esports Federation and ESL!

It is still unknown what the next tournament will be organized by the Saudi Arabians, but it is already clear that they are ready to play for big money.
