Carlos ‘Ocelote’ Rodiriguez, Founder and CEO of G2 Esports, spoke on the extension: “I am proud to see what our Gozen team accomplished in three months. Their dedication and their killer’s mentality are making them as entertaining to watch as challenging to play against.
“Ensuring that they have the best gear to continue having this level of success is our responsibility, hence why Lenovo taking part in the future of this team is a must for us.”
