Allied Gaming Secures Legal Victory in Fight Over Board Control
A recent court decision is helping Allied Gaming & Entertainment regain control of its boardroom narrative.
The company went to federal court with concerns that Roy Choi and his allies—operating through Knighted Pastures LLC—were coordinating behind the scenes to take control of the board. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California agreed to pause the board election scheduled for August 4, 2025, while it reviews Allied’s claims. The ruling means no new directors can be voted in until the court gives the green light.
The reason? The court found credible evidence that Choi, his mother Naomi Choi, and longtime business partner Yiu-Ting So acted as a group to accumulate stock and influence governance—without disclosing their coordination. Allied claims they submitted incomplete filings with the SEC, keeping shareholders in the dark while attempting to shift control of the board.
Allied’s leadership brought the case forward to protect stockholder rights and ensure transparent oversight. With this ruling, the company is in a stronger position to continue operating without interference while the court evaluates the full scope of the Knighted Group’s actions.
This isn’t just a legal checkpoint. It’s a strategic pause that gives Allied the space to focus on the business and its stockholders while the case moves forward. And the court’s willingness to issue this injunction sends a clear signal: the facts on record are strong enough to warrant further review.
What’s at Stake
Allied Gaming, traded under the ticker AGAE , delivers live and digital experiences for gamers and concertgoers worldwide. With the board election paused, the company is holding its ground and working to ensure that any future changes in governance follow proper disclosure and legal standards.
The case is still active, and the final outcome remains to be seen. But for now, Allied has what it needs: time, stability, and a chance to make its case.
