Semper Fortis reaches agreement to acquire new Rocket League
roster for the 2022/23 season
Semper Fortis Esports PLC (AQSE: SEMP), the esports company
focused on establishing esports teams and forming brand and
technology partnerships has reached an agreement to acquire a new
team for the upcoming RLCS Rocket League season.
This is part of the Company's strategy to operate up and coming
esports teams on a lower cost base and to work with the players and
teams in order to maximise their potential. The Company has a track
record of doing this with its previous Rocket League roster, who
were developed into an established team, which led to the sale of
one of the players for $35,000.
The new acquisition also enables the Company the exciting
opportunity of expanding in the MENA region on the back of recent
news that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would be making large
investments into becoming a world hub for esports and was focused
on growing its own booming gaming industry,
SMPR Esports upcoming roster is made up of 3 players, AbuHumaid,
Mohammed Hamad (20), Osama Ali Al-Samani (16) and Abdullah Azim
Alrwuili (20), all of Saudi Arabian nationality.
The team will be supported by team manager Oliver William
Podesta (20) from the United Kingdom and Team Coach Valentin
Leproux (21) from France.
The team will begin competing under the SMPR Esports brand
starting from the Fall: Invitational MENA Regional 3 taking place
between Thursday 3(rd) November and Saturday 5(th) November
2022.
Jassem Osseiran, COO of Semper Fortis Esports, commented: "After
our amazing experience in competing at the Gamers8 tournament in
Riyadh last season, it has become apparent that the MENA region
will become one of the most active esports growth areas in the
coming years. Gaming and Esports in Saudi Arabia have been given a
boost from government initiatives. We are thrilled to have signed
our new roster and look forward to competing in the RLCS MENA
division as well as collaborating with brands and resources in the
region."
