In a Twitter statement, ManeschijnX cited "recent events" as the reason for her departure. Thus leaving fans and the esports community puzzled.

The accusation, brought forward by former esports player Esmee Pauw. Who suggested that Bentas had "decided to change his identity and 'become a woman' to play in women's league," in order to continue competing in professional Counter-Strike.

As ManeschijnX herself mentioned that she is working closely with tournament organizer ESL and Counter-Strike platform FACEIT in their "ongoing investigation."

The team was acquired by GamerLegion with high hopes, but it now faces significant challenges as it navigates the fallout from these departures.
