“Scam”
In a shocking turn of events, the Apex Legends community has been rocked by allegations of fraud and deception surrounding HER GALAXY, a prominent tournament host dedicated to fostering the growth of women’s esports. What was once hailed as a promising platform for female gamers to showcase their skills has now become the center of a scandal that has left participants unpaid and staff abruptly dismissed.
The controversy began to unravel when Twitter user “Phae” publicly questioned HER GALAXY’s failure to distribute prize money to participants of their recent Apex Legends tournament. In a tweet, she wrote, “So, like, when do we get paid from finals? Ya girls got vet bills to pay 🤐.”
This prompted a wave of responses from other participants who echoed similar grievances, with popular Apex streamer Tiffa highlighting the severity of the issue by stating, “This sucks for so many people that had competed in HG tournament months ago. THAT HAVE STILL NOT GOTTEN PAID BTW. What a scam.”
Laid Off
As frustrations mounted among the affected players, the situation took a darker turn with revelations that HER GALAXY had allegedly terminated its North American staff without notice. According to reports, the company not only laid off its employees but also disabled their email accounts mid-meeting and abruptly cut off communication. The abrupt and unprofessional handling of the situation has only intensified the outcry from both players and industry figures.
Team FURIA’s North America Director, Henry, joined the chorus of criticism, calling out HER GALAXY with a blunt statement: “Embarrassing, you need to do what’s right!”
The Future
The unfolding drama has left the women’s Apex Legends community in disarray, casting a shadow over the potential growth and legitimacy of women’s esports. The betrayal felt by participants who put time and effort into competing in HER GALAXY’s tournaments is palpable, as they not only face the disappointment of unpaid winnings but also witness the unceremonious collapse of the organization they trusted.
As the story continues to develop, the esports community is eagerly awaiting HER GALAXY’s response and actions to rectify the situation. The fallout from this scandal raises important questions about the accountability and trustworthiness of tournament organizers in the burgeoning landscape of esports, particularly those dedicated to fostering inclusivity and representation.
Stay tuned as the community awaits further updates on this unfortunate chapter in the history of women’s esports, hoping for a resolution that reflects the principles of fairness and integrity that should define competitive gaming.
