G2 had sights set on top-tier NA VALORANT talent before Carlos controversy cost them everything

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.
