The organization The Prodigies announced its closure after a series of negative events, including a cheating scandal involving Álvaro "consss" Remman and the introduction of new ESL rules. According to the organization's CEO, reputational losses and changes in the rules for participating in the ESL Challenger League (ECL) were the main reasons for this decision.
Founded with the aim of supporting talented players, The Prodigies achieved significant success by qualifying for the ECL. However, recent events, including a cheating scandal with the banning of their player consss from the European Pro League series tournaments, have greatly affected the team's image and opportunities.
The Prodigies CEO Jerome "jEROME" Cupez noted that players will be able to keep their slot and play in the ECL without the organization's involvement. He also expressed his gratitude to everyone who supported the project, including players, coaches, and partners. According to him, over a year and a half, the organization helped more than 40 profiles in various countries develop and sign contracts with teams.
The Prodigies earned recognition in the industry thanks to its unique approach to talent development, allowing players to leave the organization without a buyout. However, due to the current circumstances, the organization has decided to cease its operations, closing a chapter in the history of esports.
