G2 Esports Parts Ways With Head Coach Luka ‘Perkz’ Perković After His ‘Tweet Bomb’ Sparks Backlash
G2 Esports has ended its collaboration with League of Legends head coach Luka “Perkz” Perković after a lengthy social media post drew widespread criticism. The departure matters because G2 said some of his remarks did not align with the organisation’s values and that the statement had hurt fans.
Perković published the 2,676-word post on 4 November 2026, discussing his religious beliefs, politics, abortion and his past support for former G2 CEO Carlos Rodríguez. His comparison of abortion to murder became a particular focus of the backlash. G2 apologised to fans and said it would rebuild its staff and roster for next season, but could not announce changes until free agency opens.
In short
- G2 parted ways with coach Luka “Perkz” Perković.
- His 2,676-word post prompted widespread backlash.
- G2 said the remarks did not align with its values.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
G2 can reasonably argue that a public-facing coach’s statements affect players, supporters and the organisation, and that it has a responsibility to uphold its stated values and respond when fans say they have been hurt. Ending the collaboration may be seen as a way to maintain trust and set expectations for staff representing the club.
The case against
Perković’s supporters can argue that expressing sincere religious and political convictions, including a deeply held view on abortion, should not by itself cost someone their livelihood. They may see the decision as disproportionate if it followed public pressure rather than a clear assessment of his conduct and role, and worry that it discourages open expression.
