Riot’s head of European esports denies claim that company forced former G2 owner Carlos to sell shares in team

Maximilian Peter Schmidt, Riot Games’ head of esports in Europe, has clarified that former G2 Esports owner Carlos Rodriguez was not forced to give up ownership of G2 Esports by the game developer. 

Esportmaniacos claimed earlier today that the former owner was forced by Riot to sell his ownership shares in G2 Esports and was subsequently blacklisted from participating in any Riot-sponsored events.
