Quinn "Quinn" Callahan, the midlaner for the European team Gaimin Gladiators, shared his perspective on the conflict between Akbar "SoNNeikO" Butaev and Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf. He stated that anyone attacking Ammar or suggesting he deserved the situation was completely mistaken. According to him, words exchanged in matchmaking and threats of violence in real life are two entirely different matters and should not be conflated, as doing so is both insane and dangerous.
Quinn also expressed his belief that the punishment for such behaviour was insufficient, suggesting that AVULUS should face disqualification from the tournament. He emphasised that physical threats are completely unacceptable and that there should be strict consequences for such actions.
