It has been more than a week since G2’s (former) CEO, Carlos Rodriguez, hit the front page of every social media platform connected to an eSports fan. On the 19th of September, it was revealed that Carlos would be serving an eight-week unpaid suspension after publishing content that showed him partying with Andrew Tate. Following the latest developments, Carlos Rodriguez has resigned from G2, divested his stake in the firm, and attempted to backpedal away from the controversy.
As the situation unravelled on social media, industry experts, fans, and representatives took to the airwaves to voice their opinions. There were accusations, conspiracy theories, and claims circulated on popular platforms like Twitter and Reddit. At the top of the ‘theories table’ was the suggestion that the LEC and (or) Riot Games had acted as the driving force behind Carlos’ resignation.
But is there any truth to that allegation?
