SAGAZ, a Brazilian team in VCB just recently started a big scandal, according to VCT Atualizado, SAGAZ would be mistreating the players and abusive contracts. Their salaries were lowered to R$ 300 (approximately 54$), before, they were R$ 380 (approximately 69$).
On the first 3 rounds of VCB Stage 2, they were playing without a contract with SAGAZ (which is strictly prohibited by Gamers Club and Riot).
Also there were lots of absurd clauses on the contract, 17% of the players’ sponsorships not related to the ORG would go to SAGAZ, and 60% of the players’ earnings on tournaments would go to SAGAZ, not the players (would drop to 40% if the players didn’t reach Top 8).
The players would be hardly pressed by the ORG to accept new absurd clauses, the players tried to negotiate, the ORG accepted a new contract, but still with dumb and absurd clauses. SAGAZ also would threat to bench or even more of the players earnings going to SAGAZ.
Also in the comments, a person leaked the supposed contract of the Game Changers team, with words being written wrong and it even looks like a joke.
