Pusha T & Logic’s Esports Team Boycotts Match Over Police Brutality
Pusha T & Logic’s Esports Team Pulls Out Of Tournament In Protest Of Police Brutality
Pusha T and Logic‘s very own Chaos Esports Club has withdrawn from a scheduled tournament against Team Liquid, as a protest against police brutality following the shooting of Jacob Blake.
Last week, Pusha T spoke about getting into the esports industry with Complex: “I’ve been a part of this ownership group close to two years now and since the beginning.”
He continued, “My main call to action was to focus on the lack of inclusion and diversity in the gaming industry. Any business I’m a part of has to be proactive in using its resources and platform to support the fight against social injustice.”
However, in the wake of another Police brutality, King Pusha and Logic’s Esports team has decided to boycott the tournament in protest against the act. “Now is not the time for games,” Pusha-T said in a statement on Instagram.
“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.”
Acccording to HipHopDX, Chaos EC planned to play an ESL One Counter-Strike match against Team Liquid, Friday.
