Montréal, Québec, Canada, November 22, 2022 — React Gaming Group Inc. (“React Gaming” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: RGG, OTCQB: ITMZF) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Parabellum Esports (“Parabellum”) has partnered with XP League, the first and largest esports franchise in North America. Through this partnership, select XP League teams will be able to play under the Parabellum name and wear a co-branded jersey, helping to cement XP League as the premier youth esports organization aligned with professional esports. To support this initiative, the partnership will include a spring bootcamp academy program to be co-branded and developed by XP League and Parabellum, as well as workshops and training with the Parabellum coaches.
The partnership will also be a launching pad for the Parabellum Academy, which will work directly with players, creators and enthusiasts who want to enter the esports space. Parabellum Academy is currently working on developing online courses, mentorship programs and academy teams, in line with its professional competitive teams in Rainbow Six, Rocket League and CSGO. Parabellum Academy’s launch is planned for Q1 2023.
“We are very excited to be a part of XP League,” said Chris Lamarucciola, Co-Founder and CEO of Parabellum. “Working on the development space in the esports industry has been one of our goals since the inception of Parabellum. This is not just a step, it is a leap forward for our company to work with our future fans, players and managers. We can't wait to get started, and we are looking forward to seeing these young stars grow.”
“Our strategy with Parabellum Esports is to build our own professional team ecosystem from the ground up, with recruitment, training and development of competitive professional teams in various leagues that will also complement our current rosters and allow us to expand our activities,” said Leigh Hughes, CEO of React Gaming. “This will also serve the purpose of enhancing Parabellum’s brand recognition and increasing sponsorship and prize money opportunities, with the goal of monetizing this growing asset with minimal investment of capital.”
