G2 Esports’ Fortnite superstar JonahP made quite the entrance into the Sentinels Invitational last week when he was caught responding to a fan’s critique of his play in an interesting way. During a break in action in a match, JonahP was watching his teammates finishing out the final set of matches.
At one point, a fan in the stands critiqued JonahP’s play and the way he controlled his team. The fan said that despite JonahP’s impressive skill, his team was struggling and he wasn’t making the best decisions. JonahP, who had been listening to the entire exchange, was caught on camera responding in a way that some would say was ‘disrespectful’. He waved his hand and said “whatever you say”.
Needless to say, the moment didn’t sit well with the audience and his team. G2 Esports has since issued a statement addressing JonahP’s actions, saying that it “does not condone this kind of behavior and expects its players to be respectful, no matter what the situation”. The team went on to say that they have spoken to JonahP and reminded him of the standards they expect their players to uphold.
While it’s still unclear if JonahP will face any sort of disciplinary action for his behavior, it’s clear that this isn’t the type of behavior that G2 Esports supports. This incident is yet another reminder of why it’s important that professional players always remain respectful of their fans, critics, and opponents.
