Esports club Night Pulse has stated that they have fulfilled all obligations regarding prize money payments to their former Dota 2 team member, Ivan “Kidaro” Bondarev. This was announced in an official statement on the organization`s Telegram channel.
Night Pulse denies the accusations made by Ivan Kidaro Bondarev. On April 7th, former Night Pulse player Ivan Kidaro Bondarev accused the organization on streamer Avice`s broadcast of not paying out prize money for the CCT#6 and CCT#7 tournaments, which took place in January and February 2025.
Night Pulse categorically rejects these accusations.
Prize money for CCT#6 was sent to Kidaro on April 2, 2025, which is confirmed by attached payment documents.
Prize money transfers for CCT#7 have not yet been made by the tournament organizer. The seventh tournament is part of the third payment cycle, for which document collection has not even begun. It will only open on May 1st and last until May 15th. The deadline for money transfer set by CCT is June 1, 2025. It is important to consider possible delays in bank operations and on the part of the organizers themselves.
Ivan, like all team players, was provided with complete information about the event regulations and payment procedures.
Sincerely, Night Pulse.
Previously, Night Pulse accused OG of “violating the norms and principles of fair competition.” Club representatives stated that Kidaro and Davai Lama allegedly sabotaged the contract signing process after a European organization contacted them. More details can be found in a related article.
Following the publication of the statement from Night Pulse, Bondarev noted that he did not deceive the organization, as he had not signed any contracts with them. He also pointed out the non-payment of prize money for CCT Series 7.
