GamersOrigin, Innovation in Esport
Societe Generale has been involved in sport, and in particular rugby, for more than 30 years. Now, since 2018 and in keeping with its tradition of innovation, it has associated its name with Esports via the GamersOrigin club, with which it shares the values of performance, rigour, team spirit and commitment. Societe Generale was the first “traditional” bank in the world to associate itself with a professional Esports team.
GamersOrigin Story
In keeping with its tradition of innovation, it is only fitting that Societe Generale should associate its name with Esports, via GamersOrigin. It shares, with this leading club, the values of performance, team spirit and commitment. This partnership between the two parties will allow GamersOrigin to continue its development in France and in Europe. It will enable GamersOrigin to open a latest-generation training centre so that its players can enjoy the best possible coaching and support. This training centre will provide the GamersOrigin players with all the means they require to express their full potential.
3 million euros raised for major new projects
In order to pursue its expansion, the French Esports leader has raised 3 million euros aimed at continuing the development of its projects and establishing its status as a champion club and major French Esports player. This investment has enabled it to create a latest-generation training centre and to provide its teams with the best possible support so they can continue to improve under excellent conditions.
