Perkz deactivates X account following G2 Esports termination

Former League of Legends professional Luka ‘Perkz’ Perković has deleted his X account following his firing from G2 Esports on November 5. According to reporting from Dexerto, the decision came just hours after the 27-year-old published a lengthy, divisive statement on the platform.

The controversy behind the departure

Perković, who served as a head coach for G2, published a 2,676-word post on November 4 covering various personal topics, including religious beliefs, politics, and abortion. In the statement, he explicitly compared abortion to murder, a stance he described as one he would “die by.” The post also addressed his relationships with former G2 leadership and his views on public figures, sparking immediate and widespread backlash from the community.

Following the outcry, G2 Esports moved quickly to sever ties with the former star. “While the world is complex and not everyone agrees on everything, some of the statements made last night do not align with G2’s stance and values,” said G2 CEO Alban Dechelotte in a statement reported by Dexerto. The organization apologized to fans for the distress caused by the post.

Account deletion and G2’s next steps

After his dismissal, Perković shared a Bible verse on X but did not issue a formal apology. By November 6, his X account was entirely removed from the platform. His presence on other social media channels, including Instagram, Twitch, and YouTube, remains active.

As for the organization, G2 has confirmed it is currently focused on restructuring its coaching staff and roster as the team looks toward the upcoming competitive season. Further details are expected to emerge once the free agency period begins.

Why it matters

This incident highlights how quickly an organization’s public brand can clash with the personal statements of its staff, resulting in immediate professional consequences. For fans, this marks a significant shift in G2’s leadership structure heading into the off-season.

While the situation has been highly visible on social media, there are no specific regional implications or changes to server access or local tournament availability reported at this time. Players should look to official G2 channels for updates regarding the organization’s new coaching hires as they prepare for the next competitive cycle.
