The organization said it had “failed to properly communicate with the team before the announcement was made” and apologized to both Myunb0ng and fans for the oversight. It’s unknown what happened internally at NY Excelsior, but multiple people under Myunb0ng’s quote retweet expressed disbelief at the communication breakdown.
Myunb0ng later confirmed that NY Excelsior finally told him he was off the team in a team feedback session. He expressed confusion, saying he had not heard “anything regarding the possibility of me being dropped.”
