Manchester City’s Sergio Agüero has become the latest high profile player to set up his own esports team.
During lockdown, the Argentinian has grown his presence on gaming platform, Twitch, streaming gameplay and speaking to other big names, like Lionel Messi. That appears to have led to the creation of KRÜ Esports.
According to the company’s website, the organisation will be self-funded by Agüero, with all earnings reinvested in the team.
No players have yet been signed, but appears it will be concentrating on titles: Rainbow Six: Siege; FIFA; Rocket League; and Valorant. Sponsors are listed as Twitch, Aorus and AMD.
“I want everyone who joins KRÜ to love what they do, to feel comfortable. Boost them and help them fulfil their dreams,” wrote “CEO” Agüro on the website.
“What we do gives us the opportunity to make many people happy and I really like all this. I want more people in the world to know and enjoy it like me.”
