“We are excluding the Outlaws team from the WePlay Academy League esports league. We apologize – we admit our guilt and understand your indignation at the situation. Our team does not have any contracts with organizations from the Russian Federation, and the management will continue to adhere to this position,” WePlay Esports said in a statement.
