Press release, 10th April 2007

The world's biggest in 12 months 

Having just received a large amount of money from external investors, Regroup Esports is now ready to reach their goal: to establish the world's biggest e-sports organisation within the next 12 months. The investment capital is among others supposed to help embracing the giant Chinese market.

Regroup Esports has just received a million-dollar amount in venture capital from the venture fund SEED Capital. The money has been marked for growth in Regroup Esports´ focus areas in e-gaming being the world's leading professional e-sports club, Meet Your Makers, in particular. 

- Because of the continuously growing traffic on our websites and the large number of members in our databases, I can almost promise that we'll reach our goal - to be the world's biggest e-sports organisation - in 2007. We are already among the 20 most visited sites in Denmark. And the development continues with explosive haste. Especially in Asia, where we have just opened up an office in Beijing, China. We are quite popular in the "Middle Kingdom". For instance the Chinese government has chosen Regroup Esports as partner in the world's biggest e-gaming tournament, which is to be launched in 2007 with the participation of 90 million students from Chinese institutions of higher education, says Jakob Dreyer, vice-president in Regroup Esports´ board of directors.

Partner in SEED Capital, Lars Andersen, has great expectations to his investment in the Danish e-gaming company, whose business strategy he finds very promising.

- We have chosen to support Regroup Esports for several reasons: First of all e-gaming is in extreme growth. According to statistics the number of gamers worldwide will reach 400 millions within this decade and thus become bigger than football as well as all other sports when it comes to the number of participants. And having in-depth knowledge in the business, sports and marketing area the people behind Regroup Esports form a really strong team. The company has a clear and realistic strategy and is very professional, says Lars Andersen.

Vice-president Jakob Dreyer for his part is looking much forward to having SEED Capital represented in Regroup Esports.

- It is crucial for a company like ours to understand how to work and expand globally. And this is best done with help from partners who knows how to globalise business strategies and who, at the same time, have the important contacts in the global investment business. SEED Capital is a very competent partner in both matters, says Jakob Dreyer.

GL to mYm, Mercy the most and Regroup-Esports as well. I really believe in the steps taken by these brands and I believe that they'll make more work than the G7 esports federation does!

"We are already among the 20 most visited sites in Denmark"

do you have any proof for this?

I highly doubt that the mym page is on the same level as google, msn, ebay, amazon, TDC, yahoo, youtube, myspace, wikipedia, ekstra bladet, some tv channels i dont remember, rapidshare, megaupload, flickr and so on...

I would be really thankful if you could enlighten me :)
