ICON Esports has officially acquired Australian esports organization Chiefs Esports CLub, and the two brands will combine to further the brand’s presence in the region.
“The esports and gaming industry is rapidly growing and fast moving, and it was vital that we found the right partner to help us match the growth along the way and amplify everything we do to the best of our abilities” Frank Li, Founder and CEO of Chiefs Esports Club said in a statement.
“ICON had the perfect match of first hand experience in the space as well as expertise from outside of the industry that is necessary to take us in the right direction. A strong vision for the future was very important to me in choosing the right party and I believe we have found it in ICON.”
“The Chiefs are recognised as one of the pre-eminent esportsorganisations in the region and have an enviable track record of success” Adrian Whittingham, Shareholder in ICON said. “Frank has done an excellent job as founder of the Chiefs, working with talented and passionate athletes, winning multiple titles and building a strong and very loyal support base. We look forward to continuing this success and having Frank work with Nick and the team in the other business initiatives at ICON.”
