G2 Esports boss Carlos ‘Ocelote’ Rodriguez has fried FaZe NICKMERCS after the CoD and Fortnite streamers claimed he gets more Twitch viewers than the entire G2 organization.
On February 11, NICKMERCS and Ali ‘SypherPk’ Hassan G2 pro player Sean ‘Coop’ Cooper announced as the third member of their trio group in the Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS). The squad participated in the first qualification, and was 39th in the NA East region.
Under the stream, G2’s official Twitter account took a cheeky stab at NICKMERCS, tweeting a Coop screengrab to win and another NICKMERCS screengrab on the floor that needs revival. It was the caption: “@ G2Coop plays Fortnite [vs] how @NICKMERCS playing Fortnite. ”
NICKMERCS responded with its own roast. “I get more viewers than your entire organization, not @ cringe2,” he said.
I get more viewers than your entire organization, not @ cringe2 me.

While most CEOs tend to keep a low profile, Ocelote is a major exception to that rule. Given his history, it is not exactly surprising that he came out of all arms to defend his organization, when he launched a tirade against NICKMERCS.
“Lmaooooo fragile Frederick ease you that degenerate,” said a tweet. “It is mandatory in phase 80s contracts to have a fragile ego,” said another.
Ocelote then listed the viewing figures of players represented by G2 Esports, after boasting top Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos’ quadrupling of ‘NICKMERCS’ ratings “while watching marble races.”

Ocelote was not the only sports management involved. FaZe owner Alexander ‘Adapt’ Prynkiewicz supported his husband NICKMERCS as he tweeted: “LMAO TALK TO EM.”
After the extensive war of words between G2 and FaZe, fans will be happy to know that the two camps have since reached a ceasefire. Ocelote later tweeted: “Jtalked to @NICKMERCS. Wand good. ”

NICKMERCS then responded with a simple gif, bringing the end to a pretty delicious piece of Twitter steak.
Kolcheff and his squad will look to finish in the NA East regional top 250 to qualify for the next round of the FNCS.
