The controversy surrounding G2 Esports owner Carlos Rodriguez and his public appearance with controversial figure Andrew Tate didn’t just cost G2 a partnered VALORANT spot in the VCT 2023 Americas league. It also reportedly cost the XSET players and staff a chance to stay together and compete in the top-tier league for a massive organization.
The G2 organization had “expressed strong interest in acquiring the roster and coaching staff of XSET,” according to a report from The Washington Post’s Mikhail Klimentov. And a source that spoke to Klimentov said that “things seemed good to go” regarding the deal if G2 got into the Americas league.
