G2 Carlos criticizes FaZe after Dr Disrespect says esports orgs \u201cdon\u2019t make money\u201d Twitter: CarlosRFollowing a comment from Dr Disrespect that esports orgs \u201cdon\u2019t make money\u201d unless it\u2019s FaZe Clan, G2 Esports\u2019 CEO, Carlos \u2018ocelote\u2019 Rodr\u00edguez claimed that FaZe\u2019s business is a \u201chole.\u201d In esports, it\u2019s not exactly uncommon to see sparks fly between organizations \u2013 especially when resident trash-talker Carlos is involved. Known for not holding back, the G2 CEO has happily roasted some of esports\u2019 biggest stars, with esports and lifestyle brand FaZe Clan being no different. And FaZe is looking down the barrel of ocelote\u2019s trash talk gun yet again, as a Tweet from Dr Disrespect sparked debate over the profitability of esports orgs. Carlos calls FaZe\u2019s business \u201ca hole\u201d Retweeting a tweet regarding the departure of several major names from TSM (including longtime streamer, Myth,) YouTube titan Dr Disrespect pointed out that most orgs are not making money. \u201cWhat do you mean [what] is happening?\u201d Doc asked, noting that \u201cunless you\u2019re FaZe, esport orgs don\u2019t make money. Period.\u201d Carlos was quick to fire back, however, stating FaZe\u2019s financial results of \u201c-17M in EBITDA with just above $50M in revenue. G2 and [a] couple others\u2019 actual business looks miles ahead of theirs and it\u2019s not even close. Their revenue is pumped up by acting like a bank through individual sponsorship deals for their talent.\u201d Concluding that FaZe\u2019s \u201cbusiness is a literal hole,\u201d the G2 CEO has made his thoughts on Doc\u2019s take abundantly clear. https:\/\/twitter.com\/CarlosR\/status\/1475772183217594377 EXCEL esports\u2019 social media manager and LoL insider, Fosty, was quick to echo Carlos\u2019 statements, writing \u201cFaZe represents a king that was the best and the richest, but he never knew how to use his power and riches, so by the time that power and riches started getting weaker and weaker until he became a pale shadow of the past.\u201d Calling FaZe \u201can org with wasted potential and no wish to improve,\u201d he claims that \u201cthe only thing holding them from certain death is their CS team and [that] their name that gets financial support.\u201d They have an insane fanbase and the following, but I can’t help but see how badly their socials are being run and the content they produce. The only thing holding them from certain death is their CS team and their name that gets financial support. It is so sad to see. \u2014 Fosty (@FostyLoL) December 28, 2021 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot also took issue with the Doc\u2019s claim that esports orgs don\u2019t make money, telling him to stay off the Gin & Tonics. However, 100 Thieves\u2019 COO admitted that the company is not yet profitable, and may not be for some time. Rather, as with most esports orgs, their goals are continued growth, supported by outside investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
