Following an investigation performed by Riot Games, the company has ruled today that G2 founder and former owner Carlos Rodríguez “engaged in activity detrimental to the best interest of the League and Riot Games,” and has been suspended until Nov. 13, 2022.
This ruling is in response to the now infamous tweet of Carlos sharing a video of himself and others celebrating with controversial figure Andrew Tate. Due to Tate’s extremely misogynistic views, Carlos’ tweet was met with much backlash from the public and was made worse by his initial combative response in which he said his friendships could not be “policed” and that he could “party with whoever the fuck I want.” G2 eventually put out an apologetic statement before Carlos eventually stepped down as G2’s CEO and parted ways with the organization.
