Midnight CEO responds to OpTic Crimsix’s claims of not paying CWL Pro League players
Scuf/Midnight EsportsCall of Duty pro Ian ‘Crimsix’ Porter stirred up some controversy, when he claimed on Reddit that Midnight Esports isn’t paying the majority of their players.
OpTic and Midnight play against each other in the Call of Duty World League 2019, and Midnight won the last meeting between the two teams on February 4, 2019.
On Sunday, March 3, on a post titled ‘Why does the midnight org get so much hate?’ posted to r/CoDCompetitive, Crimsix replied, “Well they have a league spot and they’ve only been paying one player during this whole season, so not sure how that works.”
Still, McGraw insisted Crimsix’s claims weren’t true, and argued that Midnight players had been receiving paychecks every week, adding that, “dozens of current pros want this deal, and you will soon see who that is.”

The CWL transfer period finally opened up at the beginning of March, so plenty of moves and changes are sure to come, but whether Crimsix’s accusations against Midnight are legit remains to be seen.
