  • Viper lists all the good things which came with the GL Involvement (salary, Content creation, Tiramis, etc.)
  • GamerLegion collects prize money and players would invoice from them
  • Salary and prize money payouts were always a bit delayed, though they increased in the last year
  • Viper has still not got prize money from Red Bull Wololo: El Reinado (October 2024)
  • Viper stopped appearing on the GL podcast because of that, a situation clarified in a Reddit comment
  • Viper has a lawyer on it
  • During this whole process, GL signed a whole new Dota 2 team
  • GL knew Hera would leave
  • They discussed a replacement and were in talks (May 2025)
  • GL offered Viper a renewal of the contract but Viper would only agree if the money situation would be cleared

When they still hadn't made progress in paying Viper, and he didn't sign, they decided not to continue having an aoe2 team. Viper knew this was the likely outcome
