Its second Organization of Legends team competes in Spain's SuperLiga, the leading 3 teams of which get the respected European Masters tournament.MAD Lions won their initial LEC title on 11 April 2021, after reverse sweeping Rogue in the spring finals.

Poaching, Also known as Tampering, is one of the actions punished by Riot Games . It is described as establishing talks with another player who is under contract with a team, but without notifying this about the plans to hire it as reinforcement. G2 ESPORTS is not alien to scandals like this: In 2016, it was charged with poaching by Luka Perkz Perković towards Jesper Zven Svenningsen and Alfonso Mithy Aguirre Rodríguez . Two years later, in 2018, organizations accused the team of Carlos Ocelote Rodríguez for allegedly incur in poaching towards Andrei iodoamne pascu , elias UpSet Lipp , Kim Wadid BAE -in , among others. Both situations ended up without sanctions for Perkz or G2 Esports. Three years later, Mad Lions pointed to the European organization to commit poaching again.

According to a report of Jacob Wolf (Chief Reporter) for DOT ESPORTS , Mad Lions accused G2 Esports of alleged tampering towards his Square of LEC. This gave way to start a vote on the board of owners between September 2 and 3 of this year. The intention is that the rules are reviewed about poaching and, according to sources close to what happened, the result was 8-2 in favor of being done. The two votes against arrived by G2 ESPORTS and Team Vitality , which had a couple of reasons to be against. Apparently, the team argued that the current rules must first be reinforced before thinking about updating them. However, when Jacob Wolf tried to converse with the parties involved, there were no comments about it.

Who did speak about it was Riot Games. According to the report, the company said there is no complaints formally filed in LEC. In addition, there is no investigation in this regard by none of the corresponding authorities. About the vote on the board of owners, he refused to comment on the content of this since they are confidential. Apparently, G2 ESPORTS will not suffer from a penalty for a third time.

What do LEC rules say about Poaching? There are two scenarios to cover in that aspect:

If a player seeks to recruit another without notifying the relevant team, there is a suspension between five to 10 months. Reports must be made in a period of six months since the poaching occurs. If a player or coach looks for work on another team, without permission and while maintaining under contract, there is a suspension between three and 15 months. Reports must be made in a period of six months since the poaching occurs.

Finally, the report of Jacob Wolf said that, despite the situation, Mad Lions agreed that Victor Flakked Lirola proved with G2 Esports.
