History
On October 2016, Paris Saint-Germain partenered with Webedia, who owns professional team Millenium and tournament organiser ESWC, to launch PSG eSports. The club acquired Team Huma's slot in the European League of Legends Challenger Series (EU CS), for the 2017 Spring Split. Bora "YellOwStaR" Kim has been appointed as Head of eSports, and the team will compete out of the Riot Games' Am Studio 20D in Adlershof, Berlin.[2][3][4]
PSG eSports also announced its participation to FIFA video gaming competitions; the club recruited FIFA world champions August “Agge” Rosenmeier and Lucas “DaXe” Cuillerier. DaXe became ESWC FIFA 17 world champion at the Paris Games Week, this is the first title for PSG eSports. Agge won the Legia eSports Cup, a tournament featuring 10 FIFA players from professional football clubs, as well as the DreamHack Winter 2016.[5][6][7]
