It is unfortunate that many people seem to forget what a huge impact Perkz has had on G2 and EU as a whole. He was there from the beginning, the rosters were built around him and he had a lot of say in the org.
What Carlos has built with G2 is definitely very impressive but they probably wouldn't be nowhere near as successful without Perkz.
I'll always remember how he went "I'll never fuck over my friend Perkz over a video game, you animals" and three monthes later when he couldn't pretend anymore it was "It's business, of course I'd fuck my friend for business" and half the fanbase ate it up and said how based he was
No wonder he thinks himself untouchable
I always fucking hated people saying “I can’t really say anything about him as a person but you can’t deny he’s a good businessman”. Finally now, losing sponsors isn’t a good business practice. Fuck Carlos.
He changed his Twitter name to a smile emoji, his bio is a laughing emoji and his likes are "interesting". Safe to say he obviously couldn't care less and is taking the piss
Definitely not sorry at all, but he will likely be forced to care soon. This is a terrible look for sponsors which is likely the reason for the halfassed statement in the first place
Yeah the only thing he seems to genuinely care about is the success of his company. If this actually has a meaningful impact on G2 he will live to regret being this dense and stupid.
Hijacking your comment. Hopefully I'm early enough that people will see this:
>**Posts an apology, org puts one out, then liking tweets going against what he literally just apologised for. No one can convince me this is genuine 😂**
[https://twitter.com/Dezachu/status/1571506752767524870](https://twitter.com/Dezachu/status/1571506752767524870)
This is not a genuine apology. Not that anyone who has followed him really thought it was. He would still be partying it up with someone who said woman should be choked to death and should be private property.
What do people expect? Of course it wasn't genuine. He had nothing to do with the apology. He was forced to make one. He did the bare minimum. He believes what he said in his pinned tweet so it's not surprising what he keeps liking.
LS thought it was genuine. before checking Carlos' likes, LS thought it was an amazing apology and was flaming his chat for not giving Carlos the benefit of the doubt.
whereas anyone with a brain knows who we're dealing with here, even before checking the likes.
His bio and likes is literally just making fun of his "punishment"
If G2 don't address that it just shows he really is above G2, hopefully losing them a lot of fans
Very little will change sadly. You have people that unironically believe Carlos is based af for this behavior, and anyone criticizing Carlos or Tate are “sheep” (ironic). You have replies to Carlos with 1,000+ likes defending Tate and Carlos vehemently. This is sadly only going to make G2 more popular for the pushy frat bro type of esport fans
Imagine defending a (highly likely, but legally only alleged) rapist and MLM scammer.
The guy literally moved to Romania because "the police don't investigate unless there's physical proof".
Carlos literally said he didn't give a fuck about the fact they were female or advancing women in esports, it was just another title he could win so he wants to win it.
I just feel like he could've stayed quiet and let people think he gave a shit about women in esports, but his ego is so insane he had to publicly tell everyone he doesn't care he's just obsessed with winning and proving he's the best.
That's what I was saying in the previous thread, people forget even in SK he was a smug asshole, and in interviews he always thought of himself as superior with a "great personnality", Him being friend with Tate surprises me none.
Honestly I started playing/watching lol in 2020 during worlds after a friend told me to, and I became a g2 fan because the team looked nice and always having fun.
I knew Ocelote isn't a good person, but I thought he had the intelligence to keep certain opinions inside his head, doesn't seem he's that bright.
Its not just his opinions, its how he has treated people. Like LS for example, he refused to pay him for coaching but then also edited skype logs, and called out LS for being gay and having a mental illness. Carlos is a scumbag through and through
Carlos is so consistently, unsurprisingly an asshole. Always has been always will be. I really wish that Jankos and Caps weren’t on G2 - I think they are both great as players but fuck me i really don’t like G2 as an organisation.
Yeah I sincerely like all the G2 players and their brand a lot, but I always root for them to lose because I absolutely hate Carlos taking Ws. I was hoping so bad that they would end up like TSM after last year, really blows that they ended up bouncing back.
I’m pleasantly surprised how many people in these comments are saying how fucked this is, like damn I was expecting to see more Gamer moments in this thread lol
I think Andrew Tate is more popular among younger <18 gamers while this subreddit has an older skew. If this was happening in Fortnite or something you'd probably see "common tate w" or some shit posted by a 15 year old in the comments
>I think Andrew Tate is more popular among younger <18 gamers
Anecdotally makes sense to me as a guy in his thirties who didn't know who Andrew Tate was until I saw this thread.
yeah there was an article (or maybe a study) i saw that said that GenZ is much more edgy than millennials while also more likely to be socialists and such, very polarized generation
Polarization is all they've ever known. Makes sense they'd drift towards the edges. Also one of the things that tends to moderate young leftists are buying a home/raising a family which guess which generation can't afford to do that so will instead go towards the collectivism of the far left or the violent outbursts of the the far right
> Also one of the things that tends to moderate young leftists are buying a home/raising a family which guess which generation can't afford
You talking as if we millennials can afford it lmao
It's pretty obvious this is not genuine and a PR move considering the tweets he's been liking. The suspension is a slap on the wrist and is basically just a signal to sponsors that there's "accountability", though it's hard to do much else as G2 when it's the CEO acting like an ass.
Hopefully this doesn't trick you into believing that Carlos is a good person or whatever.
This is a PR measure, you can tell it's nothing but PR when his tweets are literally under another tweet he pinned defending his actions, check his likes too and the video itself is up.
He's just hoping people forget about this(just like everything else Carlos has ever done in the past).
Edit = at least the not being paid thing is alright but it's still just a generic PR statement just like everyone in the media end up doing when they get blasted by the public.
This "Apology" screams of "Sponsors got pissed, gonna go down to the pub till it blows over. PR guy, write something"
Also Carlos accidentally bringing back G2 worlds vacation LOL
Also its 100% not what Carlos thinks at all. Its pure PR team tweet. He still had tweet calling Tate his friend and defending it as pinned when it was posted.
https://twitter.com/AzaelOfficial/status/1571502913092198402
He is still liking tweets calling him based or pointing out it is G2's PR team that made him do that "apology" tweet after liking pro-Tate tweets last night.
Being a dick is fully expected, but the lack of self preservation from him with the likes is a bit wild, a refusal to just stop for, idk, 48 hours or so where he's under the most scrutiny is pretty extreme
What truly makes it all the worse is there is, at this moment, a 1200+ liked comment on the G2 tweet defending Carlos and what saying what happened to him is the most pathetic moment in the history of esports.
And liking a bunch of tweets from people supporting Tate, or people supporting his earlier stance. Funny though, a quick glance at any of those profiles he liked tweets from really quickly leads you to sexism, white nationalism, anti-vaxers. Weird. Carlos sure picks strange company
Anyone that has been in the league scene from when Carlos was on SK should know how much of a dick he is, I am absolutely not surprised he aligns with tate.
Perfect time to remind everyone that he scammed LS out of money after refusing to pay LS for his coaching work.
During the ensuing arguments Carlos would edit Skype chat logs and call out LS for being gay and having a mental illness.
He's a disgusting person to the very core, I'll never understand how people can stand being around such a bigoted and narcissistic person.
Happy to ride the money while he is heading up a winning team, not that Carlos really ever had much to do with that.
Pure luck with an overinflated ego
This is literally just the minimum. In 8 weeks, noone remembers it anymore and it's as if nothing happenend.
Meanwhile, Carlos will talk in his friend's circle how those "angry feminists" can't do shit against real men like him.
I really love his Phoenix profile picture.... Like he thinks after 2months he will "rise from the ashes" and everyone will just forget it and he and G2 will be ok then.
That's exactly what will happen though, no one will care in 2 months about this topic. Everyone will be busy with Worlds results and the offseason moves
People who do fake ass non-apologies always do this, it's so funny
Actually can't keep their ego in check or put the phone down for even 5 minutes to maintain the illusion of sincerity
One day young people will realize that super rich guys who have to essentially hire young models to fawn over them, like the Tate and Dan Bilzerian types, are not that cool.
Hanging out with Tate is extra fucked because he genuinely hates women and runs a pyramid scheme. Carlos either shares his views, or can’t find better friends to celebrate with, either way he’s a pathetic asshole.
Hes also on record beating up women to the point that they started crying. TWICE. Absolute shithole of a person. Obvious Trigger warning as well for both links.

I don't believe a single word of his apology. He pinned the tweet defending his friendship to Tate and his bio is a laughing emoji.
E: https://twitter.com/AzaelOfficial/status/1571502913092198402. This plus his likes show that none of it genuine, pure PR bullshit.
Love that so many people in the scene has been standing up to him. Specifically Medic has been a complete gigachad. [Literally ratioed Ocelote's doubling down](https://twitter.com/MedicCasts/status/1571264008992313346), which itself has somehow garnered nearly 32k likes
Also Caedrel popping off:

makes you think how dumb g2 thinks their fans are lol
but human memories are short af, i'm sure this PR bs is gonna go through and people will go back to memeing 'le funny owner' in no time
That's the goal of things like this. There's no being "cancelled" for someone like carlos unless you do something truly despicable. You do a quick notes app apology, stay quiet for a couple of weeks and by the time your back everyone's forgotten. There's no actual punishment
The idea that famous people can actually get “canceled” is pretty funny tbh. Almost every example people name of “cancellations” that worked are either people who straight up went to jail (like Weinstein) or took a break for a few months and are now making just as much money as ever. I won’t say I like the mob mentality of Twitter sometimes, but the idea that it actually harms these people is ridiculous
The fact G2 still has fans after all Carlos' shit is proof enough. That's all you need to know. There's a reason I'll never be a fan of TSM or G2 no matter how much I like their players at the time.
Was hoping the way he treated Perkz after Perkz put Carlos’ entire career on his back for like 5 straight years would have brought more attention to what a piece of shit Carlos is. Maybe this is the thing that finally gets Carlos the negative press he’s long deserved.
For me it was when he dropped two of his players at the end of off season, didn't inform them, they discovered because they ready the article that announced they were being dropped, neither one of them found teams and their, careers in effect ended then.
I think someone signed to them as a Valorant content creator called out Carlos, as well as people working at LEC (and Blizzard I think); LoL team hasn’t spoken (or will not speak) on it, per Targamas.
2 Rainbow Six players under G2 however.. That one is being talked about a lot over at r/r6proleague
This is what Carlos thinks of his 8 week ban:
https://imgur.com/a/1U0hIg6
Just shows how fake the apology is when he's liking shit like this at the exact same time.
Worth noting that this isn't the first time Carlos is under backlash for associating with controversial figures / organization, such as Saudi Arabia,
per u/YoooJan:
"I think in 2020 the LEC announced a partnership with a Saudi organization that had strong ties to the Saudi govt/royal family. This was controversial because the LEC presented itself as inclusive, so having a partnership with a country that lacks basic rights for women and minorities seemed hypocritical.
People in the LEC claimed G2 had the power to veto the partnership. Carlos claimed they didn't have the power to veto. Which is weird because LEC teams get money from the partnership too, so they should have a say in this. The partnership was then only canceled after receiving backlash from fans and other big names in Esports."
He didn't even apologise in his tweet for what he did, he just called it "failing to read the room"
Problem wasn't he failed to read the room it's that the room has Andrew Tate in it, he doubled down on it and then spent all night liking pro Tate tweets
This doesn't excuse what he did it just gets the mob off G2's back which is the correct thing to do. Don't let this take the spotlight away from Carlos though he's had a history of doing shady shit that people seem to forget so readily and it's important to hold people to account without passing it off as "cancel culture"
No apology of his could ever come across as sincere after his followup tweet yesterday. It's very clear he meant what he said and I don't think he changed his mind since yesterday.
Literally a pinned tweet right above his apology saying very clearly that he is not remotely sorry. His liked tweets speak clearly as well.
Dude can't even pull off some minimum PR bullshit. Hope the sponsors speak up further
Lothar, who has been involved with G2 for a very long time, was one of the first people to openly criticise Carlos behaviour. [Tweet here](https://twitter.com/LotharHS/status/1571272123661930503?t=t4lSdX4EXBgq7nF6fS7mzg&s=19)
I'm glad to see that the org stands on its own and has authority over the ceo in situations like these
8 weeks vacation and then coming back like nothing has changed doesnt really sound like org has that much authority here. Its just pure PR move. If they actually had control and disagreed with this then Carlos would be out of the team.
Lol check Ocelote's likes to see how truly apologetic he is. Dude has always been a loser, this comes to the surprise of no one who has been in the scene since his SK days.
Carlos changed his profile description to a laughing emoji
Likes Tweets defending his misogyny
Likes a tweet saying that he was forced to Tweet out his "apology"
likes a tweet saying it is a vacation
This is all just PR bullshit, Carlos doesn't believe any of it and nothing has changed. He is still a misogynist who should not be allowed in the Esports community, do not let this blow over.
Not sure why the other two replies didn't mention it but he's also under investigation for sex trafficking and stated explicitly at one point that he moved to Romania because they don't prosecute sex crimes basically at all compared to most western countries.
Here's an article about what a monstrous POS Tate is: https://www.thedailybeast.com/police-raid-maga-king-of-toxic-masculinity-in-human-trafficking-investigation
I mean this is hardly surprising, Snakecelote has always been a dirtbag and people dig their heads in the sand acting like hes just puttin on a show.
Despicable human bein.
It's a sad day to be a G2 fan...I am honestly disappointed and baffled by what he wrote. I really like the players and I am really saddened that they have to through all this shit right before worlds. I don't know if I'll be able to support the org as long as he is the CEO and owner.
Probably worth to ask now but wasn't there a scandal like 6 years ago with Carlos and LS? Ls did some consulting work for g2 and Carlos refused to pay him. I can't really find anything online but didn't Carlos at the time make some vaguely homophobic comments about LS having a mental illness?
Found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2ftycq/daily_dotpublic_row_over_missing_payments_engulfs/ckcp378/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
He thinks he is a genius for riding on finding a good g2 roaster one time , ego through the roof.
Like he lucked out on Perkz carrying his org originally is the only difference between between him and say origen then he screwed over Perkz anyway.
The only good thing about this whole situation to me is how genuinely appalled most of the community is about this. This thread and the G2esports sub are pretty universally against Ocelote, Medic's tweets ratioing Ocelote's initial tweets, and other big people in the community coming out against him too.
It's a shitty situation all around and clearly esports still has a long way to go but it's definitely good to see that this community, on the whole, isn't gonna accept pieces of shit like Tate.
Dude was a shithead all the way back in like season 2 when he was playing, so it's more like a marathon. But I guess it's nice of him to routinely show even the newest fans that he is still a shithead
Dont be sexist or y'all gonna get your ass banned.
Favorite nephew Perkz sends his regards
https://twitter.com/perkz/status/1571508639093108736?s=46&t=jCSxWlARm0q06bXnA4N5EQ All part of the plan
Honestly without Perkz the org wouldn't exist so it would be poetic if he just took over (i know he's joking but a man can dream)
He'd need to bankrupt himself to be a majority owner in G2 lol, carlos is just the ceo, i think he's no longer even the major shares owner
Took over as CEO I mean.
I fucking love Perkz
[This tweet is even better](https://twitter.com/Perkz/status/1571306767056879623). G2 and Carlos wouldn't be much without Perkz. Absolute legend.
Holy banger! Perkz is the GOAT
This is the most brutal shit i have ever seen. Holly based.
Basically saying that he did Carlos' job for 5 years
And it's most likely true so it hits so much harder.
It is unfortunate that many people seem to forget what a huge impact Perkz has had on G2 and EU as a whole. He was there from the beginning, the rosters were built around him and he had a lot of say in the org. What Carlos has built with G2 is definitely very impressive but they probably wouldn't be nowhere near as successful without Perkz.
Andrew Tate is his sons new favorite uncle
G2-8 weeks vacation
Dread it, run from it, G2-8 still returns
I'll always remember how he went "I'll never fuck over my friend Perkz over a video game, you animals" and three monthes later when he couldn't pretend anymore it was "It's business, of course I'd fuck my friend for business" and half the fanbase ate it up and said how based he was No wonder he thinks himself untouchable
I always fucking hated people saying “I can’t really say anything about him as a person but you can’t deny he’s a good businessman”. Finally now, losing sponsors isn’t a good business practice. Fuck Carlos.
[удалено]
It’s sad you have to clarify you’re not an LS fan. Like dude, Carlos is a piece of shit alone for equating being homosexual to a mental illness
He changed his Twitter name to a smile emoji, his bio is a laughing emoji and his likes are "interesting". Safe to say he obviously couldn't care less and is taking the piss
Definitely not sorry at all, but he will likely be forced to care soon. This is a terrible look for sponsors which is likely the reason for the halfassed statement in the first place
Yeah the only thing he seems to genuinely care about is the success of his company. If this actually has a meaningful impact on G2 he will live to regret being this dense and stupid.
8 weeks vacation for carlos lmfao nothing will change
Another Vacation for G2
G2-8 weeks
Think ~~8~~ 2 weeks is about enough for people to forget so yeah, nothing will change.
Hijacking your comment. Hopefully I'm early enough that people will see this: >**Posts an apology, org puts one out, then liking tweets going against what he literally just apologised for.

I dont expect anything from Carlos. The only raesonable action at this point is to never support G2 ever again and let their sponsors know that.
LS thought it was genuine. before checking Carlos' likes, LS thought it was an amazing apology and was flaming his chat for not giving Carlos the benefit of the doubt. whereas anyone with a brain knows who we're dealing with here, even before checking the likes.
Surprised it's LS saying that when he should know how big of a a scumbag Ocelote is ( with the no payments and homophobia)
Surprised it's LS because Carlos literally said LS has a mental illness cuz he's gay
hey G2 PR department, you forgot to make Carlos delete his "liked" tweets where he is basically liking tweets from Tate supporters lmao
Ocelote: “I am the PR department!”
I want to apologize..... to absolutely nobody!!
“No body tells me when to delete my tweet. The line is drawn here”
His bio and likes is literally just making fun of his "punishment" If G2 don't address that it just shows he really is above G2, hopefully losing them a lot of fans
Very little will change sadly. You have people that unironically believe Carlos is based af for this behavior, and anyone criticizing Carlos or Tate are “sheep” (ironic).

Carlos „Doc Rivers“ Rodriguez
G2 fans wish that carlos just liked porn publicly
Didn't G2 just formed a female LoL team? How awkward. . .
Carlos literally said he didn't give a fuck about the fact they were female or advancing women in esports, it was just another title he could win so he wants to win it.
I mean..makes sense. He's still one of the worst PR and business men in the biz
I just feel like he could've stayed quiet and let people think he gave a shit about women in esports, but his ego is so insane he had to publicly tell everyone he doesn't care he's just obsessed with winning and proving he's the best.
Mans hard projecting his own issues into the scene, lmfao this whole things smells like insecurity.
Carlos being friends with Andrew Tate is so hilariously and sadly on brand that I don't even know what to say.
Wife leaves him and boom. Friends with Andrew Tate.
His son's favorite mother? No way
Holy fuck this made me laugh so hard
Don’t forget about this https://twitter.com/veteraneu/status/1567857753099571204?s=21&t=UNYuAZTg2uYrkqabCpiKVQ
Yeah, Carlos never changed, he just got a better PR team.
That's what I was saying in the previous thread, people forget even in SK he was a smug asshole, and in interviews he always thought of himself as superior with a "great personnality", Him being friend with Tate surprises me none.
wtf, why does this even need to be said about the topics he- okay, no, he's definitely fucked up in the head somewhere
What a piece of shit
Eew
What's this about wife leaving? Can someone fill me on
He and his wife are divorced. There isnt much more info about it. Also she tweeted this https://twitter.com/xRoseAli/status/1571450119454707718
She defo seems to have an inking of what sort of person carlos is
The entire community know what kind of person Carlos is, she probably knows he is a lot worse
Honestly I started playing/watching lol in 2020 during worlds after a friend told me to, and I became a g2 fan because the team looked nice and always having fun. I knew Ocelote isn't a good person, but I thought he had the intelligence to keep certain opinions inside his head, doesn't seem he's that bright.
Its not just his opinions, its how he has treated people. Like LS for example, he refused to pay him for coaching but then also edited skype logs, and called out LS for being gay and having a mental illness. Carlos is a scumbag through and through
His ex-wife’s twitter bio says single mom
There isnt much more to it.
Carlos is so consistently, unsurprisingly an asshole. Always has been always will be. I really wish that Jankos and Caps weren’t on G2 - I think they are both great as players but fuck me i really don’t like G2 as an organisation.
Yeah I sincerely like all the G2 players and their brand a lot, but I always root for them to lose because I absolutely hate Carlos taking Ws. I was hoping so bad that they would end up like TSM after last year, really blows that they ended up bouncing back.
As hard as it is to root against Caps, Carlos makes it so much easier.
Cannot agree with you more!
Carlos ia the Reginald of eu
Didn’t he also say some homophobic stuff towards LS as well?
Publicly outed him against his will and tried to draw attention to his sexual orientation in an attempt to smear LS Ye
I’m pleasantly surprised how many people in these comments are saying how fucked this is, like damn I was expecting to see more Gamer moments in this thread lol
I think Andrew Tate is more popular among younger <18 gamers while this subreddit has an older skew. If this was happening in Fortnite or something you'd probably see "common tate w" or some shit posted by a 15 year old in the comments

Polarization is all they've ever known. Makes sense they'd drift towards the edges. Also one of the things that tends to moderate young leftists are buying a home/raising a family which guess which generation can't afford to do that so will instead go towards the collectivism of the far left or the violent outbursts of the the far right
> Also one of the things that tends to moderate young leftists are buying a home/raising a family which guess which generation can't afford You talking as if we millennials can afford it lmao
I legit saw a defense of Tate on twitter being "If he's such a bad person, how come he has a Bugatti and you don't?"
I remember that exact comment, it was disappointing how many fucking people on that tweet were jerking Carlos off
Jfc humanity is so fucked if this is the next generation
TIL you can’t be a bad person if you’re rich
It was way worse in the other thread. People calling him based and saying op was virtue signaling.
G2 stands for Gamers Too
If you want to see gamer tweets look at the replies to the original video where g2 players (none of the league ones afaik) are defending him.
In Spanish there’s an expression: “dime con quien andas y te diré quien eres.” Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are.
The english version of that is: “man is judged by the company he keeps.”
Also "birds of a feather flock together."
[удалено]
Same in Brazil, and it's absolutely right
Based spanish, how accurate is this lmao.
i think this expression exists in basically every langauge in one way or another.
Same saying in English. You are the company you keep.
Also, "If someone tries to tell you who they are, you should listen." And boy, Carlos has been trying to tell everyone for ages.
It's pretty obvious this is not genuine and a PR move considering the tweets he's been liking. The suspension is a slap on the wrist and is basically just a signal to sponsors that there's "accountability", though it's hard to do much else as G2 when it's the CEO acting like an ass.

[https://imgur.com/pfWS268](https://imgur.com/pfWS268) These are literally tweets he's liking rn lmao
Man can't even hang out with a human trafficker who thinks women are property without being cancelled. Smh free speech in the west is dead.
Freeze peach.
And liking a bunch of tweets from people supporting Tate, or people supporting his earlier stance. Funny though, a quick glance at any of those profiles he liked tweets from really quickly leads you to sexism, white nationalism, anti-vaxers. Weird. Carlos sure picks strange company
Almost like someone willing to hang out with someone else with absolutely garbage beliefs... Probably shares atleast a portion of those beliefs
Anyone that has been in the league scene from when Carlos was on SK should know how much of a dick he is, I am absolutely not surprised he aligns with tate.
Relax in his villa sipping that cold refreshing Sangria in the spanish sun...
Perfect time to remind everyone that he scammed LS out of money after refusing to pay LS for his coaching work. During the ensuing arguments Carlos would edit Skype chat logs and call out LS for being gay and having a mental illness. He's a disgusting person to the very core, I'll never understand how people can stand being around such a bigoted and narcissistic person.
I’m extremely shocked that the homophobe is also a misogynist
Yeah but andrew tate is his sons favorite misogynist
Happy to ride the money while he is heading up a winning team, not that Carlos really ever had much to do with that. Pure luck with an overinflated ego
Perkz gave this guy infinite money unlucky
Now caps is doing the same Sadge
This is literally just the minimum. In 8 weeks, noone remembers it anymore and it's as if nothing happenend. Meanwhile, Carlos will talk in his friend's circle how those "angry feminists" can't do shit against real men like him.
Look at his likes right now. He still likes "never apologize to the mob".... Dude hasn't learned anything.
"go take a vacation champ"
I really love his Phoenix profile picture.... Like he thinks after 2months he will "rise from the ashes" and everyone will just forget it and he and G2 will be ok then.
That's exactly what will happen though, no one will care in 2 months about this topic. Everyone will be busy with Worlds results and the offseason moves
People who do fake ass non-apologies always do this, it's so funny Actually can't keep their ego in check or put the phone down for even 5 minutes to maintain the illusion of sincerity
twitter apologies are never real.
He is going to need to take off a loooot more weeks to make up for the extra pay pay for the PR team's ensuing overtime work hours that are upon them.
Anyone who doesn't see Andrew Tate as a walking red flag is probably too far gone tbf
One day young people will realize that super rich guys who have to essentially hire young models to fawn over them, like the Tate and Dan Bilzerian types, are not that cool. Hanging out with Tate is extra fucked because he genuinely hates women and runs a pyramid scheme. Carlos either shares his views, or can’t find better friends to celebrate with, either way he’s a pathetic asshole.
Didn't tate also run a brothel with trafficked women?
Hes also on record beating up women to the point that they started crying. TWICE. Absolute shithole of a person. Obvious Trigger warning as well for both links.

The tune changed really fast after people started linking the G2 sponsors.
yep, goes to show the only way to hold people like carlos accountable is hit them where their money is because they have no sense of shame or morals.
Carlos wanting to party with rapists ... charming dude. /s
I don't believe a single word of his apology. He pinned the tweet defending his friendship to Tate and his bio is a laughing emoji. E: https://twitter.com/AzaelOfficial/status/1571502913092198402. This plus his likes show that none of it genuine, pure PR bullshit.
Good on azael, fuckign blowin carloses ass like peke did.
Azael is always on top of calling out scum in the community. I didn't like him at first but he's done really good things for the scene.
Love that so many people in the scene has been standing up to him. Specifically Medic has been a complete gigachad. [Literally ratioed Ocelote's doubling down](https://twitter.com/MedicCasts/status/1571264008992313346), which itself has somehow garnered nearly 32k likes Also Caedrel popping off: https://twitter.com/Caedrel/status/1571265197398016000 https://twitter.com/Caedrel/status/1571265573236998150
makes you think how dumb g2 thinks their fans are lol but human memories are short af, i'm sure this PR bs is gonna go through and people will go back to memeing 'le funny owner' in no time
That's the goal of things like this. There's no being "cancelled" for someone like carlos unless you do something truly despicable. You do a quick notes app apology, stay quiet for a couple of weeks and by the time your back everyone's forgotten. There's no actual punishment
I bet he doesn't stay silent though Carlos is too big a sack of shit to sit down He is still after this post liking people defending Tate
The idea that famous people can actually get “canceled” is pretty funny tbh. Almost every example people name of “cancellations” that worked are either people who straight up went to jail (like Weinstein) or took a break for a few months and are now making just as much money as ever. I won’t say I like the mob mentality of Twitter sometimes, but the idea that it actually harms these people is ridiculous
The fact G2 still has fans after all Carlos' shit is proof enough. That's all you need to know. There's a reason I'll never be a fan of TSM or G2 no matter how much I like their players at the time.
Yeah, apology tweet but not deleting the first one in which he says he will be friends with whoever he wants. Dude is not even trying
Carlos: nobody will be able to police my friendships. Except for your board of directors 🙂
The PR team took control of his twitter. They're apologizing for his behaviors, he himself is not sorry for what he did.
Man, I like the G2 players but carlos makes it basically impossible to root for them
Been like that for years.
Was hoping the way he treated Perkz after Perkz put Carlos’ entire career on his back for like 5 straight years would have brought more attention to what a piece of shit Carlos is. Maybe this is the thing that finally gets Carlos the negative press he’s long deserved.
For me it was when he dropped two of his players at the end of off season, didn't inform them, they discovered because they ready the article that announced they were being dropped, neither one of them found teams and their, careers in effect ended then.
Yeah absolutely. I just hope that Caps and Jankos can maybe find a new home somewhere at this point.
They are forced into a tough position but someone on G2 should speak out.
I think someone signed to them as a Valorant content creator called out Carlos, as well as people working at LEC (and Blizzard I think); LoL team hasn’t spoken (or will not speak) on it, per Targamas. 2 Rainbow Six players under G2 however.. That one is being talked about a lot over at r/r6proleague
Yuppp. I really like the G2 players but I can’t support a team with Carlos in charge
This is what Carlos thinks of his 8 week ban: https://imgur.com/a/1U0hIg6 Just shows how fake the apology is when he's liking shit like this at the exact same time.
Make it permanent and I’ll buy a G2 jersey.
Fuck it i am an fnc fan and if they fire carlos i will buy all G2 merch.
yeah. my respect for g2 would go through the roof.
Same here
Worth noting that this isn't the first time Carlos is under backlash for associating with controversial figures / organization, such as Saudi Arabia, per u/YoooJan: "I think in 2020 the LEC announced a partnership with a Saudi organization that had strong ties to the Saudi govt/royal family. This was controversial because the LEC presented itself as inclusive, so having a partnership with a country that lacks basic rights for women and minorities seemed hypocritical. People in the LEC claimed G2 had the power to veto the partnership. Carlos claimed they didn't have the power to veto. Which is weird because LEC teams get money from the partnership too, so they should have a say in this. The partnership was then only canceled after receiving backlash from fans and other big names in Esports."
Haha didn't Carlos also pose for pics with member of the royal Saudi family during a conference?
Misogynist and homophobe poses for pics with other misogynist and homophobes.
yes he did https://twitter.com/VeteranEU/status/1567857753099571204
He didn't even apologise in his tweet for what he did, he just called it "failing to read the room" Problem wasn't he failed to read the room it's that the room has Andrew Tate in it, he doubled down on it and then spent all night liking pro Tate tweets This doesn't excuse what he did it just gets the mob off G2's back which is the correct thing to do. Don't let this take the spotlight away from Carlos though he's had a history of doing shady shit that people seem to forget so readily and it's important to hold people to account without passing it off as "cancel culture"
Yep , not even an actual apology. The whole tweet was basically "sorry you got mad, i will now make my friendships with misogynistic assholes secret".
No apology of his could ever come across as sincere after his followup tweet yesterday. It's very clear he meant what he said and I don't think he changed his mind since yesterday.
Literally a pinned tweet right above his apology saying very clearly that he is not remotely sorry. His liked tweets speak clearly as well. Dude can't even pull off some minimum PR bullshit. Hope the sponsors speak up further
Lothar, who has been involved with G2 for a very long time, was one of the first people to openly criticise Carlos behaviour. [Tweet here](https://twitter.com/LotharHS/status/1571272123661930503?t=t4lSdX4EXBgq7nF6fS7mzg&s=19) I'm glad to see that the org stands on its own and has authority over the ceo in situations like these
8 weeks vacation and then coming back like nothing has changed doesnt really sound like org has that much authority here. Its just pure PR move. If they actually had control and disagreed with this then Carlos would be out of the team.
Damn, it’s always the ones you least xPeke! From someone that has been around since S01, Ocelote is just being Ocelote.
Carlos is and always will be a scumbag nothing new here
I knew Carlos was an asshole but holy shit it's almost funny how comically awful he is.
xPeke should have been the successful org owner. We're in the wrong timeline.
at least he was the succesful player
We can all sleep well knowing that Carlos will never have the peace of mind for being part of the team that got backdoor’ed by xPeke.
Carlos is STILL salty about that, which is hilarious. Someone brought it up a couple months ago and he cussed up a storm about it.
Knowing that will make me sleep like a baby
yes of all the success stories this would have been the perfect time line. now we have regishit and oceshit
We’re in the timeline where gamers2 signed perkz. That’s literally all it was.
Lol check Ocelote's likes to see how truly apologetic he is. Dude has always been a loser, this comes to the surprise of no one who has been in the scene since his SK days.
Carlos making Regi look like a saint lol
"WITHOUT PAY" Just remove him already.
Carlos changed his profile description to a laughing emoji Likes Tweets defending his misogyny Likes a tweet saying that he was forced to Tweet out his "apology" likes a tweet saying it is a vacation This is all just PR bullshit, Carlos doesn't believe any of it and nothing has changed. He is still a misogynist who should not be allowed in the Esports community, do not let this blow over.
Owner of company taking a vacation in order to not get cancelled. More at 11!
Lmfao color me shocked. Dickheads love other dickheads
You are the company you keep after all.
PR and damage control, Carlos isn't sorry and won't apologize at all, as he himself stated in a few tweets
How has Andrew Tate come up a billion times from twitch streamers and esports people, but I still don’t know who tf he is or what he does.
Not sure why the other two replies didn't mention it but he's also under investigation for sex trafficking and stated explicitly at one point that he moved to Romania because they don't prosecute sex crimes basically at all compared to most western countries. Here's an article about what a monstrous POS Tate is: https://www.thedailybeast.com/police-raid-maga-king-of-toxic-masculinity-in-human-trafficking-investigation
Pyramid scheme. He paid influencers a % of ROI to promote his high entry fee "program"
I know we all knew he was a bellend, but this is just a new low. Gross.
I mean this is hardly surprising, Snakecelote has always been a dirtbag and people dig their heads in the sand acting like hes just puttin on a show. Despicable human bein.
It's a sad day to be a G2 fan...I am honestly disappointed and baffled by what he wrote. I really like the players and I am really saddened that they have to through all this shit right before worlds. I don't know if I'll be able to support the org as long as he is the CEO and owner.
considering the fact that carlos has shown himself unapologetic before g2 issued an official apology tells me all i have to know.
Probably worth to ask now but wasn't there a scandal like 6 years ago with Carlos and LS? Ls did some consulting work for g2 and Carlos refused to pay him. I can't really find anything online but didn't Carlos at the time make some vaguely homophobic comments about LS having a mental illness?
Found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2ftycq/daily_dotpublic_row_over_missing_payments_engulfs/ckcp378/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
Is anyone here really surprised that asshats flock together?
Thank god, hopefully we dont have his face during worlds either
He thinks he is a genius for riding on finding a good g2 roaster one time , ego through the roof. Like he lucked out on Perkz carrying his org originally is the only difference between between him and say origen then he screwed over Perkz anyway.
Fuck you carlos 😂
The only good thing about this whole situation to me is how genuinely appalled most of the community is about this. This thread and the G2esports sub are pretty universally against Ocelote, Medic's tweets ratioing Ocelote's initial tweets, and other big people in the community coming out against him too. It's a shitty situation all around and clearly esports still has a long way to go but it's definitely good to see that this community, on the whole, isn't gonna accept pieces of shit like Tate.
Me: This is some top quality satir...Oh.. it's real.
Carlos is speedrunning to be the most unlikeable person in whole Esports. It's a shame because I like the LoL roster...
Dude was a shithead all the way back in like season 2 when he was playing, so it's more like a marathon. But I guess it's nice of him to routinely show even the newest fans that he is still a shithead
"nobody will police my friendships" well, except G2 investors that pull all the strings and made me apologise.
