MYM threatened Kori with taking his mother's house

Just days before the start of the League Championship Series, Meet Your Makers found themselves without a mid laner. Marcin "Kori" Wolski, who turned 18 on Feb. 7, left the team under unclear circumstances. Meet Your Makers went 1-3 in their first four matches with stand-in Marius "Blizer300" Hæsumgaard. Just two weeks after his departure, Wolski returned to the lineup, issuing an apology for his "selfish" behavior and paying a fine levied by the organization against him for breaching his contract.

After informing the organization’s manager, Sebastian “Falli” Rotterdam, that he no longer wanted to play, Rotterdam became irate and attempted to intimidate the player in a phone call. Unknown to Rotterdam, Wolski recorded their exchange on his phone.

During the conversation you can hear Rotterdam say that replacing Wolski will cost "$50,000" per game, that the decision not to play could cost them potential sponsors, that they all run the risk of being fired and, most shockingly, that since Wolski’s mother is the one who signed the contract, Rotterdam would make sure she “would lose the house” she lives in. At various intervals Rotterdam can be heard hitting the walls and doors while he argues with Wolski.

You can listen to the recording here. It was sent in several parts, as Wolski did not want to be detected recording the exchange, so there are some gaps and some audio interference from Wolski’s clothing.

When confronted with the recording, Meet Your Makers CEO Khalid Naim told the Daily Dot the following:

“Concerning this recording I will react and take the necessary steps to avoid this, since something like that is not allowed and we don't tolerate this here.”

Rotterdam himself offered the Daily Dot the following statement, apologizing for his behavior:

“I admit I made a big mistake with saying this to kori. This Situation was crazy. A Player is leaving the Team one day before LCS starts. I was stressed in this situation and i agree i should not say something like this. I never said such stuff before to a player. I will offer MYM to leave the Organisation and step down from my job. The MYM Management was not aware of me saying this. I wanted to protect the other players cause the situation was looking bad for them and i made a huge mistake. MYM is not working like that it was me making a big mistake! I would like to Apologize to Kori and his mother at this point. Big Sorry!”

Following this incident Wolski outlined his concerns to Riot’s League Operations Manager Nick Allen in an email. In the message, he tells Allen that he "felt so scared under MYM management," adding "especially after they promised I would lose my house."
