Den traditionelle sportsverden og eSports fortsætter sin langsomme sammensmeltning. Vi har allerede set klubber indoptage eSportshold, og nu har Luminosity Gaming taget skridtet videre, og har rekrutteret Minnesota Twins-spilleren Trevor May.
May streamer i forvejen via Twitch, hovedsageligt Overwatch, og har allerde 4500 følgere, men nu kommer han til at repræsentere Luminosity Gaming.
Luminosity Gamings ejer Steve Maida har udtalt sig følgende om rekrutteringen via holdets hjemmeside:
"The first time I spoke to Trevor, we talked at length. As the call ended, Trevor revealed to me that he was just about to start his baseball game. I was pleasantly surprised and I think it speaks volumes about his passion for esports and gaming in general. He is a genuine guy through and through and I couldn't be happier to welcome to Luminosity Gaming. There is so much we can learn from the world of traditional sports, and I hope that Trevor can pass on some of his experience to our players and management."
May har selv tilføjet:
"I'm really looking forward to working with Luminosity Gaming. They've quickly established themselves as one of the biggest names in esports, and as a passionate gamer myself, I'm excited to team up with LG and support them."
