Andrew Tate incident ends G2's bid for 'Valorant' partnership slot

For months, G2 Esports has sought a foothold in North America, contacting the region's top players and coaches about potentially working for the team. By Sept. 14, a week before developer Riot Games was scheduled to announce its slate of partnered teams for its "Valorant" esports league, the Berlin-based esports organization appeared certain it had locked down a coveted partnership slot, going so far as to offer The Washington Post an exclusive interview with its CEO, Carlos Rodriguez, on the occasion of G2's entry into the Americas league.
