United Kingdom based esports organization Guild Esports, which is co-owned by soccer legend David Beckham, has officially named Grant Rousseau their Director of Esports in a role that will “bring a winning mentality, and ultimately some trophies, to the company”.
Rousseau has served as Interim Head of Performance, then Director of Operations for Excel Esports, and brings a wealth of experience to the company.

“For the first time, I see a true action plan of how an esports org intends to endemically build up the UK scene. Their academy system is well designed and will bring life to the UK industry. It’s the main reason on why I joined and brings value to the competition of UK Esports.
“That together with the calibre of staff having been hired means that I truly believe this org set to go far, and also bring more non-endemic fans into the space (both UK and more). I for one cannot wait to be a part of it all, and I hope many of you will join me on the journey.”
