PSG Enters Rocket League
Monday 25th September 2017, 03:19 | written by: Gabriel SciberrasTopping the leaderboard of the League 1, Paris-Saint Germain look to continue their winning form by branching out into Rocket League as an esport. Perhaps with some left over money, they easily joined the scene as you'd expect, by signing the European team Frontline. All the information is taken from an announcement which the organisation made on Friday 22nd September.
Now having the team of "Chausette", "Ferra" and "Bluey", they also inherit their second place position in Europe, right below the top dogs in the form of Method. As of now, they're undefeated both matches that they've played, as the two of them finished with a 3-2 score. Officially, the team's first game under the name of PSG will be against the side of Secret, a team which doesn't look to be too much of a threat due to its unimpressive abscence of wins. Europe Season 4 off the Rocket League Championship Series is where the best of the continent will be fighting it out these coming weeks. Here's what "Ferra" had to say about the news:
"I am really proud and delighted to join PSG, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and I am glad to be part of the project. Our qualification for the RLCS this season was a big achievement, our first goal was to get qualified at the Regional Championship but after the results we had recently and especially our really good season opening, I think we can aim for the World Championship qualification. The PSG eSports arrival will increase people’s interest for the game and for the competitive scene.
PSG is certainly setting the pace for other football-based organisations out there, first joining the scene in October 2016 with their LoL team and now Rocket League. It will be exciting to see what further investments bring to the table as esports grows. Hopefully it won't be too long before one could support a team on the field while also on their favourite videogame too. Now that's the future.
