Alleged instance of Account Sharing reported in the Latin American League of Legends scene

The League of Legends scene in Latin America has been in a downward spiral for several years. However, a tight-knit community passionately maintains its support for an otherwise forgotten region. Latin America is represented by the Liga Regional Norte (LRN), comprising organizations from Mexico, Colombia, and Curaçao, and the Liga Regional Sur (LRS), comprising organizations from Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay.

Before the start of the third week of competition, a controversial situation has arisen like a thorn in the side of the LRN. Colombian organization G3V Esports was up 1-0 in their series against Mexican organization Icon Esports. G3V surprised their opponents by subbing a certain CayoJulio as their starting jungler before the start of the second game of the series.

League of Legends knows no age, but not every day does a 43-year-old player without prior competitive experience have their professional debut, according to Leaguepedia. The second match was paused around the 16:47 minute mark after a team fight near the midlane. During this pause, casters identified the substitute as Carlos Delmas, the previous owner of 3V — one of the teams that merged to form G3V, also known as Veni Vidi Vici in the 2025 Spanish Superliga season.

The pause was initiated by José “Feng” Ricalday, Icon’s jungler, when he accused G3V Esports of alleged account sharing. During the pause, the referees verified that Carlos was the one playing. This verification process included turning on his camera, showing his passport, and confirming his peripherals responded correctly. This process allegedly confirmed there was no foul play and Carlos was in control.

The match resumed after a 13-minute-long pause. Carlos finished the match with a KDA of 5/0/9 and brought a convincing win for the Colombian squad. After the match, the suspicious situation was brought to the public’s attention through Feng’s social media.

Sources inside Icon Esports have confirmed the team has made a complaint with Liga Ace, LRN’s organizers. Anonymous sources confirmed that Riot Latin America is aware of the situation, but hasn’t made any comment through their social media channels as of March 21, 2026. There were no disconnections throughout the match, and Icon Esports initiated the game’s only pause.

G3V announced an internal investigation, but the situation is far from normal. The team’s coaching staff shared the player’s op.gg. Before their match against Icon Esports, Carlos was involved in the team’s scrims. Yet, he played two matches: a regular scrim during the week and a warm-up game before their official match. The day after their series, after the accusation was public, Carlos had no contact with G3V’s registered owner and Head Coach, Xenovia Machuc.

Xenovia Machuc and her coaching staff announced the results of the internal investigation through the team’s social media. On March 11, Xenovia Machuc announced the decision to remove Carlos from the team, but the tweet was deleted after a couple of hours.

Sheep Esports has contacted Riot Latin America for a comment on the situation. Riot has confirmed an ongoing investigation, but neither Liga Ace nor Riot Latin America has shared any updates on their social media.

Icon Esports also revealed that the referees didn’t report the jungle substitution before the start of champion select of the second game of the series. This could result in a violation of Rule 5.11.3 of the LRN rulebook.

This whole story unfolds within a very particular context. For the past two years, Feng and Carlos have been at odds. Besides the allegation of account sharing, during the post-match interview, Carlos made comments about Icon’s jungler, where the Spanish sent a meow and a salute towards him and his cat. These post-match comments towards Feng seem like an unfounded provocation, but these are a result of a previous feud. In 2024, Feng competed as the jungler for DSC3V in the LRN, the team Carlos was the CEO of.

After a disappointing start to their season, the team decided to make changes, but inadequate management created a toxic environment, according to anonymous sources inside the organization. As the team decided to remove Feng, he asked for a payment, which had been previously verbally agreed upon. Because payments were made in advance, this request was denied, and a contract was leaked anonymously through social media. These contracts were not signed.

The leak began as an inconvenience, but then escalated into threats from the Spaniard towards Feng. The Mexican jungler took to a social media thread to expose messages he received from his former CEO, and their animosity continued through Twitter. In a bizarre twist, two Twitter accounts with Brazilian origins posted libel against Feng. One of the accounts stole another player’s identity and used Spanish grammar rather than Latin American Spanish.

Both parties appeared on the stream of a Latin American personality, where Carlos started the meows towards Feng, making fun of the latter’s pet cat. After the stream, Feng is removed from the team, and he no longer competes in the 2024 LRN season. Meanwhile, DSC3V finished tied in fifth-sixth place.

When Feng exposed his conversations with Carlos, he called him the owner of “Osaka/3V.” Osaka was a Colombian team competing in the LRN in 2024. In 2023, Osaka was owned by Cristian “Mono” Cortes. His team competed in Free Fire and secured a berth in the game’s World Championship in Thailand. The team struggled to obtain their visas, and Carlos helped by lending money and investing in the team.

Four months after the World Championship, Osaka hadn’t paid Carlos back. Mono offered Carlos Osaka’s League of Legends division, but the Spaniard was already looking to enter the Latin American scene. Eventually, Mono paid Carlos by ceding his LRN spot, yet Carlos had already secured his own spot with DSC3V. This led to the division of Osaka into two teams: Osaka Free Fire and Osaka League of Legends.

Sources close to the organizations said the spot formerly owned by Mono was sold to Samantha Jones, a friend of Carlos who was interested in investing in esports at the time. It is also known that Carlos invested in the Argentine organization Undead Gaming, yet he was never the owner.

Carlos Delmas entered the Spanish League of Legends scene before his investment in Latin America. Dogs of War rebranded as 3V, a familiar name, before the start of the 23-24 Liga Nexo Split 3. 3V participated for two weeks but left the competition as announced on the league’s official social media on May 6th, 2024.

Around eleven days later, Superliga 2nd División announced Veni Vidi Vici (VVV) as an upcoming participant for the 2024 Summer split. At the end of the season, VVV was promoted to the 2025 Superliga. VVV's worst result was a sixth-place finish in the summer split and qualified for the summer edition of the EMEA Masters.

In 2026, Cabal and LastLap became the organizers of the Liga Española de League of Legends. This change downsized the league from 10 to 8 teams, resulting in the LES not inviting or accepting VVV into the league. In retaliation, Carlos posted negative comments towards GiantX’s CEO, José Ramón Díaz.
