Den engelske fodboldstjerne Dele Alli har indgået i et partnerskab med det britiske esportshold, Excel Esports. Partnerskabet skal danne bro imellem gaming og esport, hvor Alli er særligt dygtig til Fortnite.
Alli, der desuden også er brandambassadør for HyperX, har i adskillige omgang bevist hans forkærlighed for esporten, til trods for at han selv er amatør på gaming-fronten. Han har sågar brugt Fortnite-danse i det han har scoret mål på banen.
"Everyone who knows me knows my biggest passion outside of football is gaming and after becoming increasingly involved in the industry over the past few years, it seemed like joining forces with an esports team was a natural step for me to take. What drew me to EXCEL was the fact it's the biggest British esports brand in the country and competes at the top level of esports but as well as this, I love the fact the brand was born out of a passion for gaming and the values it upholds," siger han.
