After playing under Team SoloMid for one week, Sean “seang@res<\/a>” Gares has reportedly been released, due to his involvement in the open letter to the Professional Esports Association (PEA).<\/p>
.@TSMReginald<\/a> has told me that TSM is going to replace me due to my connection to the #playersrights<\/a> letter.https:\/\/t.co\/Lee3QzDos7<\/a><\/p>

Yesterday, 25 North American players on teams that are a part of the PEA released an open letter<\/a>.\u00a0The group selected Scott “SirScoots<\/a>” Smith as their representative. In this letter, which was released by SirScoots, the players declared their right to choose which leagues and tournaments they play in. They also debunked the notion that the PEA was a player-focused organization and had the players’ best interests at heart.<\/p>
Andy “Reginald<\/a>” Dinh had a problem with this and contacted Sean Gares. It is unknown at this time why Sean Gares was contacted specifically or whether the rest of TSM was also contacted. Perhaps, this was because he had just joined the team or because he has been a voice for the scene in the past. Maybe, Reginald knows something the rest of the community doesn’t.<\/p>
Here is why I am removing Sean Gares.<\/p>

Reginald has posted his official statement regarding this situation, which can be read here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>
Has Reginald gone too far? Are the players’ demands legitimate? Will Reginald’s actions warrant further action from the 25 players? Let us know in the comments section or on Twitter\u00a0@GAMURScom<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
