Argentinian esports organisation BESTIA has suspended its co-CEO and co-owner Santiago ‘Santutu‘ Rodriguez after making racist comments during a Kick stream.
The decision to issue an indefinite suspension follows a wave of public backlash alongside apologies from Rodriguez and the organisation.
The incident took place on January 31st, following BESTIA’s elimination from the FiReCONTER Season 1 Counter-Strike 2 event. The organisation quickly distanced itself from the remarks made by Rodriguez with the release of a statement.
“BESTIA apologises to everyone for the statements made by Santutu.
