Ex-Luminosity Gaming players have been embroiled in an unimaginable scenario with their former team after months of alleged miscommunication and mismanagement. At the end of the North American Pro League Season 11, Ubisoft announced that it was changing how tournaments would be held - likely in part a response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Season 11 Finals were cancelled and the prize pool was divided between teams based on their league placements at this time. The new league structure was a LAN League entirely based in Las Vegas, so Luminosity's team moved into a team house in the city. However, shortly after the team were released from their contracts. In an explosive-laden Twitlonger on April 14, team captain Kian 'Hyena' Mozayani, claimed they had been released but Luminosity was still in talks with Ubisoft over participation in the tournament.
Unbeknownst to the players, what had gone on was quite complex. Luminosity Gaming didn't like the new terms of Ubisoft's new league and so withdrew from the league and released their players. However, when Team Reciprocity dropped out citing financial difficulties, Ubisoft reportedly contacted Luminosity with a better offer. However, according to Hyena, neither Ubisoft nor Luminosity felt the need to keep their players in the loop with what was happening.
