Rodríguez was born in Madrid in 1990 and became known internationally under the player name Ocelote. Forbes’ founder profile identifies him as a former professional player and co-owner of G2, while the organisation’s own history describes its development from a player-founded team into a global esports brand.

He competed in World of Warcraft before becoming a prominent League of Legends mid laner, representing SK Gaming and other teams. Prize records on Esports Earnings document disclosed tournament winnings, though player salary and streaming income were more important than prize money alone. His unusually large personal following also gave the new Gamers2 organisation an audience before it had accumulated major competitive results.

Ocelote’s competitive reputation and large streaming audience made him one of Europe’s best-known early League figures. He then founded Gamers2 in 2014, converting personal reach into a multi-title organisation later renamed G2 Esports.

G2 built championship teams across League of Legends, Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six and other games. Forbes valued the organisation at $105 million in 2018, as recorded in its profile, and a later institutional funding round was covered by ESPN.

His historical income includes player salary, streaming, sponsorship and executive compensation. The dominant asset, however, is founder equity in G2. In a 2023 interview Rodríguez described himself as still owning a “large portion” of the company and retaining shareholder rights after leaving operations. That is stronger evidence than merely assuming a founder kept shares, but the percentage, preference rights, dilution and sale restrictions have not been independently disclosed.

As both player and executive, Ocelote attracted gaming sponsors and monetised a large online audience. G2 itself signed global partnerships, including Adidas; the Adidas announcement shows the calibre of commercial relationship underpinning the organisation.

G2 raised capital from professional investors, including a reported investment connected to Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai. Forbes Brazil reported that transaction and the organisation’s then-current valuation. A 2025 Series B brought additional owners and fresh dilution, while existing shareholders also participated. Capital raised belongs to the company, not automatically to Rodríguez personally, and each round can reduce a founder’s percentage even when the company becomes more valuable.

The decisive unknown is his fully diluted ownership percentage. Private-company valuations are not cash, and minority shares may carry restrictions or discounts. There is also no comprehensive public record of his property, other investments, liabilities or taxes.
