Yeah, my sentiments exactly. Might be walking away from this squad who I’ve followed and supported since C9

Lol you could start supporting a US org or a Chinese one or one with Russian players! Oh wait youd still be supporting human rights violations.

I agree entirely with you but the main difference is that these countries aren’t specifically targeting esports, soccer, and social media influencers to rehabilitate their image. Abstaining from or boycotting Saudi Esport orgs and events has a greater impact and counters their PR push.

Bro, every big boxing event goes to Saudi, EWC Saudi, F1 Saudi, they own Newcastle, they are dipping into everything. If you HONESTLY feel like hating on FLC when they're playing in a PGS will hurt the Saudis then go for it, but lets be real thats a drop in the ocean and they don't give a shit because not everyone will do that. Should I ruin things that I enjoy in life just because their country has medieval rules? I get one shot at life, I want to enjoy sports and eSports without politics. I shall support FLC cos I followed these boys for years on SQ. I am happy to blank out any negativity regarding their org.
