G2 Esports is one of the most popular European eSports organizations right now that comprises rosters in FPS games such as Valorant, and CS: GO as well their specialty, League of Legends.

Riot had recently revamped its eSports structure after concluding their Champions Tour 2022 and ending it on a LOUD note. As per the new structure, the developers are planning to provide partnership to certain teams from EMEA, Americas and Pacific. While some teams were confident they would grab the spot, G2 Esports’ position was left hanging.

This view comes after the organization’s CEO was vehemently trolled on social media after he celebrated his League of Legends team’s win in the World Championship with Andrew Tate, the controversial personality that remains banned on all of the major platforms.
