TCL’s Galakticos part ways with pr1me after grooming accusations

A serious allegation was made against Mustafa "pr1me" Bilici, main top laner of Galakticos for the current season of the Turkish Championship League, as he was accused of grooming a minor.

The initial accusation came via Hamza "Maximillion" Kandemir, former player from Galakticos during the TCL 2021 Winter Split, saying the 18-year-old Bilici got involved with a minor.

Although at first the Turkish squad did not reveal details around the comments from Maximillion, they released a statement explaining their stance and revealed the subsequent termination of the pr1me’s contract via their official Twitter account.

Within the statement, Galakticos confirmed they will be closely following the case, while their legal team will do everything at their disposal to dissociate themselves from the player's actions, as they wait for the decision of the Turkish justice in this regard.

After this, pr1me decided to release his replica, clarifying there was never anything explicit or major between the alleged victim and the player himself, also revealing brief details about possible emotional damage and threats from the minor's family, and taking the opportunity to apologize with the team and the organization due to this situation.

Following pr1me's statement, Maximillion and well-known Turkish streamer Ahmet "Jahrein" Said, both reaffirming their initial comments, sharing a series of documents that would confirm the allegations.

This case is expected to have a long way to go by being an accusation as serious as the one at hand, so we will be reporting new updates on it as soon as possible.
