Berlin – A famous professional gamer and CEO of a major esports organization self-destructs on Twitter in just 8 seconds. A hilarious party video shows him with Andrew Tate, half the internet’s nemesis. The boss of the LoL team is initially immune to criticism, but is then sent on forced break by his own team.
E-sports CEO celebrates with misogynist and tweets it himself – immediately causes a shitstorm
This CEO now has big problems: Carlos Rodríguez Santiago lived the dream of many gamers. First he became a professional gambler and dominated as “ocelote” with his skill in League of Legends: he made it to the world championships several times. Then in his 20s he founded the famous e-sports team G2 in Berlin, which rocks in LoL, Fortnite and Counter Strike. To this day, Carlos Rodríguez is G2 CEO, i.e. the boss. But an 8-second video turned his dream life into a nightmare.
This is the scandal video: An 8-second clip of a party shared by Carlos Rodríguez himself has been floating around on Twitter since September 17. We see champagne bottles, sparklers and good mood. But stop, who is that with the big cigar in his mouth? Exactly, in G2 CEO Rodríguez’s party video, he celebrates with the hated Andrew Tate.
Over the weekend, an unparalleled shitstorm broke out. There was real trouble and the criticism boiled over. Here’s the said party video on Twitter:
Here’s why half the internet hates Andrew Tate: Andrew Tate is an American-born former boxer. But he came to ‘fame’ through social media. The list of his criticisms is long.
- Andrew Tate spreads a backward-looking image of women on TikTok and Twitter, in clear words: He is a misogynist.
- In ‘toxic masculinity’ he propagates that women belong behind the stove and are not allowed to drive a car, but worse: women are responsible for their own rape.
- To top off the package, Tate is an avowed racist and a fervent supporter of Donald Trump. Teachers in the US warn against Andrew Tate with: “Misogyny who radicalizes schoolboys“.
- The renowned magazine kotaku says Andrew Tate quite unashamedly: “a piece of shit“. GQ summarizes Andrew Tate in a few words, saying that he “speaks incomprehensibly […]supports Donald Trump and mocks #MeToo activists“. The standard headlines Tate: “Hatred of women and homophobia as a business model“.
- According to his own statement, Andrew Tate currently lives in Romania. Journalists assume that he is not threatened with any penalties or extradition. He himself states that the reason for the move is that the US system is so broken that he enjoys more freedom in Romania.
To put it mildly, Andrew Tate is viewed critically. But what is he doing at a party hosted by Carlos “ocelot” Rodríguez Santiago?
“I celebrated with who the hell I want,” the CEO said before the suspension
It’s just a party among friends: G2 celebrated their successes in League of Legends exuberantly, because in 2022 the team is going to the Worlds, the big championship in LoL. As it turns out, Andrew Tate is a good friend of G2 boss Rodríguez.
With half the internet immediately firing at Tate and criticizing the partygoer, tweeted Rodriguez Answers like: “I’m partying with who the fuck I want‘ or tweeted:
Nobody will ever be able to control my friendship.
These are the consequences now: But the wave of indignation continued to mount and eventually overwhelmed the CEO. his own team, G2, pulled the emergency brake and suspended Rodríguez without further ado – 8 weeks of forced leave without salary is the first consequence. Of course, this punishment doesn’t go far enough for the angry half of the internet.
With later insight, Carlos Rodríguez Santiago still shone. He apologized on Twitter, vowed to get well and wrote phrases from the de-escalation manual like: “feel awful about the discussions I’ve started and will stand up and face the consequences to the fullestit says, for example.
The untroubled loyalty of Carlos Rodríguez “oceltot” Santiago is also well received on social media. But the few voices are lost in the chorus of criticism. It is said that as a public figure you have to assess the consequences of your actions. In Germany, too, a Twitch streamer claimed that women were complicit in rapes – the shitstorm on Twitter followed promptly.
