Gaming organization Chaos Esports Club (Chaos EC), whose ownership team GG Group includes Pusha T, Logic and Upscale Vandal, has pulled out of their scheduled tournament against Team Liquid in protest of police brutality.
Chaos EC was set for an ESL One Counter Strike match against Team Liquid on Friday (August 28). In a statement, they expressed their frustration with the current events of the United States and explained their decision.
“Now is not the time for games,” Chaos EC said. “We are mad. We are exhausted. We know that gaming is part of the problem. We will not be competing in today’s ESL One Cologne 2020 Match against Team Liquid in order to do our part to move the light where it belongs – on the protests against this country’s continued systemic racism and police brutality.”
In an Instagram post about the cancellation, Pusha added the hashtag, #JusticeForJacobBlake. Blake was shot four times in the back after a Kenosha, Wisconsin officer fired seven shots at him on August 23. Police were trying to arrest him after responding to a call about a domestic dispute at the time. His father has since confirmed he’s been paralyzed from the waist down.
In June, Pusha’s longtime manager Steven Victor pledged $1 million to the fight against systemic racism.

“The injustices against the black community that persists in our country, fueled by systemic racism and prejudice that lies within the criminal justice system and other institutions, must stop,” Victor said in a statement. “No one should be conditioned to cope with the worst of humanity on a daily basis. That’s not what I want for my children or yours. I remain hopeful for the next generation and I am committed to doing my part.”
So? it’s white people who win the tournaments anyways.. white men to be more specific. We don’t need N!663R5.
This is exactly why they pulled out of the tournament.
Racists like recruiting kids on gaming platforms because they are b*tches who like to remain anonymous unless they are in large numbers.
All these people supporting a rapist. Love America
So a dude was killed because his own girl called the cops, he has a history of hitting that woman and a history of sexual assault. Cops show up, he doesn’t cooperate, instead wrestles with the officers. He breaks free and rushes to his car to grab something out of the front seat…gee, those cops should of just let him shoot them or drive away. This country is a joke
Maybe I missed something but where did you get the info that the girl called the cops, has a history of hitting woman/ sexual assault? Also, what video are you watching that shows the man wrestle with the officer before they shot him 7 times in front of kids? Let me tell you what I think. I think your generalizing the situation and dismissing the severity of the cops actions. The cop may indeed not be a racist but he is a coward. He should have de-escalated the situation and if he felt threatened. He should have handcuffed the guy first before taking out a gun. The problem I see is, most cops don’t know how to fight. They never trained any form of martial arts. Cops should be forced to train jiu jitsu for 5 years. The more they roll the less likely they will rush to judgment.
If police were trained in Martial Arts you would be complaining how unfair it is they used a karate chop on some black dude committing a crime.
There are several clips of the Blake incident and Blake wrestled with cops behind the car and then walked around the car to open the drivers side front door to either get the knife that was on the floor or drop the knife he had on him there onto the floor in order to not get charged for it.
Blake had a RESTRAINING order and was to be prosecuted for sexual assault against the woman who called the police.
Blake broke into the woman’s home one morning and thrust his fingers into her pussy and smelled them and stated that based on the smell the woman had fucked other men and then Blake stole the woman’s car.
This happened in May and the restraining order was given and prosecutor started looking to prosecute Blake over the summer.
Blake is 100% responsible for what happened to him.
When police tell you to STOP you STOP otherwise you can expect to have happen what happened to Blake.
If I would have been the police I would not have followed Blake around the car but instead gone the other way to the drivers side and told him to STOP and not open the car door and shot him either in legs or stomach facing him.
Pusha made a fool out of himself.
Too bad nobody really knows wtf this even is to care if they boycott. Is this like a fuckin Halo match or something? Lol I’m deadass
