Massive GFuel controversy prompts Twitch streamers to divest from energy drink brand

Posted on June 17, 2022

eSports has become immensely popular in the world. Additionally, to support gamers, there are several gaming organizations like FaZe Clan, Cloud 9, Team Liquid, 100 Thieves and many more who are always looking for experienced gamers. Interestingly, many eSports organizations and streamers partner with multiple beverage companies to promote their product.

One such beverage company is GFuel, which has faced many allegations and has lost its reputation in the community. GFUEL is a natural energy drink formula developed by Gamma Labs. Over the years GFuel has partnered with very popular content creators and eSports organizations such as PewDiePie, FaZe Clan, Moistcr1tikal, xQc and many more.

Recently, GFuel’s seven partners and talent managers were fired, reportedly as part of the company’s “restructuring.” However, according to recent reports, the employees were allegedly fired less than 24 hours after they complained about a derogatory insult by a manager at the company. Soon GFuel was met with a lot of hate from the community for his actions.

It is also said that several employees called HR after the call to complain about the situation.

However, they were all released within 24 hours of the initial complaint. The situation became a major highlight after GFuel began banning viewers asking about the situation on their Twitch chat. Naturally, after learning of the current situation, several influencers and content creators announced their departure from the popular beverage company.

Lmao, I’m telling you all how shitty GFUEL and its owners have been since I was one of their first partners in 2012. Garbage. Stop promoting it.
