TSM has also replied with an official statement that outlined that Shadow was not mistreated. The organization believes Shadow has made false claims because he was benched from the team. Furthermore, TSM claims that GODLIKE is not looking to loan SHadow in a legal manner, but to secure him for free by dealing under the wraps.
GODLIKE Ghatak took to Twitter a couple of days ago to ridicule TSM for calling them out on Twitter and not taking legal steps to resolve the matter.
You want to know how childish esports is in india right now? A organisation is crying all over the internet instead of taking proper legal recourse.

GODLIKE has also issued official notices on the matter. They claim Shadow was not bound to TSM when he was signed by GODLIKE. Based on GODLIKE’s official post, Shadow had already forwarded his termination letter. Therefore, GODLIKE was not required to inform TSM about the signing because he was acting as an independent entity.
