G2 Esports Parts Ways With Coach Perkz After Divisive Social Media Post

G2 Esports has ended its working relationship with head coach Luka "Perkz" Perković, a move that follows a long post he published on X. The post drew sharp criticism online, and the reaction was strong enough that the organization's decision quickly became the main talking point for fans following the team.

Perković is one of the most recognizable names in European League of Legends, both as a player and as a coach. His profile means that any change in his position at G2 gets attention well beyond the team's own fanbase, and this split leaves the organization without the coach who had been guiding its roster.

The episode is a reminder of how quickly a single social media message can shape an esports organization's public image. Teams routinely weigh a coach's competitive value against how their remarks reflect on the club, sponsors and players, and in this case the balance appears to have tipped toward a clean break.

G2 has not yet been pinned down on a replacement, and questions about the next head coach and how the team will handle its coaching staff are likely to follow. Fans will be watching for the organization's next move as it works to settle the roster around its new direction.
