Carlos "Ocelote" Rodriguez, the former CEO of popular esports organization G2, has responded after using the N-word on Twitter. The controversy started on June 13, 2023, when YouTube content creator YourFellowArab shared a picture of an accident, claiming that his Uber driver had run over a scooter. He did, however, refer to the latter by using a racial slur:

Prominent esports personality Jake "JakeSucky" Lucky shared the social media posts on his handle. The former League of Legends pro joking responded by claiming that he had been "hacked." He then seemingly doubled down on his sentiments, saying:


"Biggest falls from grace we've seen in esports" - Netizens divided by Carlos' response for using the racial slur on social media

Carlos was a renowned and influential figure in the esports industry, having co-founded one of the most dominant teams in the professional League of Legends scene. However, on September 18, 2022, the Spaniard made headlines when he was seen partying with controversial internet personality Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate.

He responded to the criticism by saying that no one would "ever be able to police" his friendship and that he would party with whoever he wanted:

"Nobody will ever be able to police my friendships. I draw my line here. I party with whoever the f**k I want."

Four days after the controversy, Carlos stepped down as CEO of G2 Esports. The former accepted responsibility for his actions and stated:

"I take full responsibility over everything that went on, in the last few days. And again trust me when I say, I just feel f***ing destroyed. You should know that."

On June 13, 2023, Carlos made headlines once again for contentious reasons after using the N-word on Twitter. Netizens were left divided when he responded by saying that he has a "Tyrone in his family tree." Twitter user ItsSlumpii commented:

"Genuinely one of the biggest falls from grace we've seen in esports."

According to another community member, Rodriguez "completely changed" following his departure from G2 Esports:

Another Twitter user claimed that they couldn't "name one single person" who befriended Andrew Tate and became a "better person" because of it:

Some of the more pertinent responses were along these lines:

Earlier today (June 14, 2023), Rodriguez tweeted, saying that most people would never enjoy the luxury of being able to say whatever they want. Tristan Tate responded to his post, to which the 32-year-old personality replied by using the racial slur once again.
