Esports organisation ReKTGlobal, which operates Rogue and the London Call of Duty team in the upcoming franchised league, has revealed a new investor in the form of Rudy Gobert from NBA side Utah Jazz.
Gobert joins investors like Nicky Romero, Steve Aoki, and Imagine Dragons, and will support the expansion of ReKTGlobal through integrations and partnerships. He'll also be hosting livestreams and delivering content alongside Rogue members.
"Rudy's a phenomenal fit for ReKTGlobal," said Amish Shah, co-founder of ReKTGlobal. "A passionate and longtime gamer, Rudy also brings a strong business acumen and fresh ideas to the table. As he's been wanting to invest in esports and get more involved in the gaming industry, we are honored that he selected ReKTGlobal to partner with, and we are excited to have him on board as our first traditional professional sports athlete."
"My passion for gaming is well-known among both the Utah Jazz and my team in France. I've wanted to invest in and get more involved in esports for a while, and I'm really excited to make history with the ReKTGlobal family," commented Gobert. "For years now, I've used gaming to unwind and relax during the season. It's also how I manage to keep up with my friends when I'm on the road. I'm especially looking forward to playing with the new Call of Duty franchise team before they begin competing next year."
Is the future bright for ReKTGlobal?
