The former kickboxer Andrew Tate is a controversial figure online. The former boss of the “League of Legends” team G2, Carlos “Ocelote” Rodriguez, lost his career over his friendship with Tate. The leftist Twitch streamer HasanAbi loves nothing more than to mock Tate. The two clash.
Why is Andrew such a controversial figure?
- The former kickboxer Andrew Tate is likely one of the most controversial individuals in the world. He has repeatedly made misogynistic, extremely sexist remarks.
- There are serious allegations against him that he is involved in rape and human trafficking.
- A curious dispute with Greta Thunberg led to Romanian authorities identifying Tate’s whereabouts through a pizza box (via twitter). Since then, he has been in custody.
G2 boss loses career over friendship with Tate
What does Ocelote have to do with it? Carlos “Ocelote” Rodriguez was a central figure in European eSports of League of Legends for many years. The charismatic Spaniard was the boss and mastermind behind the strongest European team, G2.
The former professional was controversial, always made strong remarks, but he was successful and the fans of his team respected him.
But a picture where he celebrated with Tate became his downfall. After he acknowledged his friendship with Tate, there was trouble with the LoL developer Riot Games and his own team. Ultimately, Ocelote had to resign.
What does HasanAbi have to do with it? For the leftist HasanAbi, Andrew Tate embodies everything he dislikes about people. This makes him a controversial figure.
The Twitch streamer repeatedly mocks Andrew Tate’s disheveled hair.
In a tweet, he once said he couldn’t believe that Tate had the audacity to claim he shaved his head of his own volition.
Strange dispute on Twitter and millions watch
Here’s how the two clash: Ocelote shared a 7-second Twitch clip of HasanAbi on Twitter on February 21. In it, he shows Andrew Tate and says:
“I think what they are doing to Andrew Tate is a violation of human rights.”
Ocelote praises the stream enthusiastically. He is positively surprised that the man “is doing the right thing and speaking the truth”, even if it disturbs his viewers.
But HasanAbi shows the whole clip. It lasts 36 seconds.
Now it becomes clear that the part about human rights was only intended as an ironic introduction. Actually, HasanAbi just wanted to mock Andrew Tate’s hair again.
He elaborates: He has always stood up for people with disabilities. For him, “people with follicle disabilities” are among the groups that need protection. And Andrew is obviously “challenged in the hair follicle department.”
He sees the violation of human rights in that Andrew Tate is not allowed to shave his head bald. That is against human rights and should be distributed.
So it was just another insult towards Tate’s hair, just with a longer lead-up.
Ocelote then says: He takes it all back. HasanAbi is still a “piece of work.”
Hard to imagine that Ocelote was one of the leading managers in LoL for many years, but that’s how it is.
What’s strange about it: The view counts for the dispute are spectacular:
- Ocelote has 3.8 million views on his “HasanAbi is actually cool” clip
- HasanAbi even got 4.3 million views on his “No, I was just mocking him” tweet
