We wanted to be known as a disruptive brand that’s not only competitively successful, but also has a great personality that knows how to entertain and captivate our fans through storytelling and community building," says G2 CEO Alban Dechelotte.
"Now, 10 years later, we are the ‘Real Madrid of esports, ’ so it’s time for us to go one step further and become the ‘G2 of sports.' Esports has a unique way of connecting with and engaging our passionate fanbase and now it’s our opportunity to show traditional sports how we do things, the G2 way.”
