And you thought guys only got into esports for the chicks.

Carlos "Ocelote" Rodriguez is 23 years old, and plays League of Legends for SK, a professional team from Europe. He's good, very good, but he's not one of the world's best.

Britain First is a fascist political party that Facebook had already banned from its platform last year, saying at the time that its representatives “repeatedly posted content designed to incite animosity and hatred against minority groups”.
