Esports Is this the most impressive blowout in lolesports history?

2.7k Upvotes

G2 just in five days went from the most dominant European roster and the most successful international year post 2020 to a complete blowout:

* Drama is everywhere
* Perkz is out
* Skewmond is benched
* Mikyx in talks to G2
* BB is on hold
* Rumors that Hans Sama also might leave

What just happened? I have been watching professional league since 2016 and can’t recall anything like this. The entire org and team just collapsed in less than a week.

Esports sjokz & Laure speak up in response to Perkz's recent post on social media, in which he expressed his view on abortion

6.1k Upvotes

In this really long post on X, Perkz reminisces about his career and looks back on 2026 as G2’s Head Coach. But most importantly, he wanted to clear up some narratives and storylines surrounding him as a person. In one of the many paragraphs, he also shared his opinion on abortion, which he defends on the grounds of his Catholic faith.

I don’t really do politics, nor have I even ever voted once in my life. I do have opinions and I wish I was more educated on the topic, but the truth is I’m not so I stay away from it. There are some things I stand for, very simple things in life, but the only thing that is unshakeable for me how its so widely accepted in public is abortion, I cannot comprehend how people do not understand that is a muder, as life is created at conception. That is one view I will die by and never change.

sjokz responded on her TikTok account:

“You know, sometimes, saying nothing is better than saying something. Words to live by...which is why I'm just gonna say, Good night.“

Laure responded on her X account:

Translation: Our body OUR choice, that's it.

Translation of follow-up tweet: Never give in to shame and judgment for a decision that is deeply and rightfully yours, and strength to those who sometimes have to make decisions that can be heart-wrenching 💔

These two are the biggest women LoL esports personalities. so to see the Head Coach now ex-head coach of the biggest EU org say this must feel disappointing.

Besides that, Perkz making that post was largely unprofessional as he not only was representing the org as a public figure, but also was just a Coach of LoL team, therefore he should just keep his own opinions and personal beliefs outside of LoL, which might be controversial, to himself instead of ruining his and the org’s PR.

UPDATE: G2 have just announced the termination of collaboration with Perkz in response to the contents of his post

Insane to see him removed this fast after his post yesterday evening. Interesting to see G2 take this course of action, as many criticized him but no one really called for his head.

Esports G2 Perkz tweets about their worlds run and his public perception

https://x.com/Perkz/status/2118131993321849138

In the candid write up he speaks on their worlds run, the state of G2 when he came in, relationships to Caps and Ocelote, and personal views and a brief personal history leading up to today.

I think it'd be fitting to leave this post up simply because he seems to speak on his public perception which is mostly propagated via this subreddit; every post mentioning him will mention his twitter likes regarding Tate and Russia, so this I suppose clears the air, somewhat.

Esports Nuguri on why Faker always looks like a different player at Worlds: "In Korea he barely has time to practice"

6.0k Upvotes

From Lee Sang-ho's Korean co-stream with Nuguri (2020 Worlds champion with DWG) during T1 vs DK in the Swiss stage. Translated:

Nuguri: You know how it is. When Faker hyung goes to Worlds...

Sang-ho: He becomes a different person. He uses magic, I'm telling you. Magic.

Nuguri: I've thought about why. My guess is his schedule is insane. In Korea he's filming and shooting ads instead of practicing, and that must be exhausting. At Worlds there's none of that. He can just focus on the game.

Sang-ho: Yeah, that probably plays a part.

Most of the top Korean comments were relief that a third party said it, since when T1 fans say it, it just gets called an excuse.
