“Partnering with Gen.G represents an exciting step forward for ĢƵ esports and reinforces our commitment to providing our students with a first-class collegiate esports experience,” said ĢƵ esports director Jake Middleton.
He added, “We’re also excited to build a strong relationship with Gen.G’s Global Academy, which will create new pathways for Korean students to come to the United States and experience ĢƵ, whether through camps, educational opportunities or ultimately pursuing their degree with us.”
On the competitive side, having Gen.G support ĢƵ’s teams and events through unique activations will help us continue to elevate the student experience and grow the ĢƵ esports brand.
