Belgian soccer goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid CF and entrepreneur Gonzalo Vila have joined the ranks of investors in Fusion Esports Group through the company NXTPLAY.
As a result of this deal, the Danish esports organization Astralis has become part of an expanding investor portfolio that also includes the soccer clubs Le Mans FC, CF Extremadura, and KRC Genk. The official announcement regarding the new partners was made on the Danish esports organization’s social media channels.
Earlier, analysts Jakob “Pimp” Vinnech and Alexander “kassad” Trifunović had criticized the Astralis organization. The reason for their social media posts was the team’s elimination from the FISSURE PLAYGROUND 3 — CS, where the Danish squad lost to the Mongolian club 5star eSports, which was ranked 127th in the world.
