Gestern Abend setzte die Firma hinter dem dänischen Clan MeetYourMakers, Regroup Esports A/S, einen weiteren Meilenstein in ihrer Expansionspolitik. Mit dem dänischen Kapitalunternehmen Seed Capital, das Gelder im Wert von über 70 Millionen US-Dollar besitzt, wurde ein millionenschwerer Partner gefunden, der durch ein Joint Venture mit der Regroup-Gruppe Kapital in Millionenhöhe zur Verfügung stellen wird. In erster Linie soll das Geld in die geplante Eroberung des chinesischen Marktes fließen. MYM plant binnen 12 Monaten das größte eSport-Unternehmen weltweit zu werden. Gleichzeitig gibt Regroup auch eine Partnerschaft mit der chinesischen Staatsregierung bekannt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird ein fulminantes eSport-Turnier, der CVCG Electronic Game Contest, veranstaltet, an dem 90 Millionen chinesische Studenten teilnehmen sollen, eine noch nie gesehene Zahl im eSport.[float=left][image]7055[/image][/float] _Jakob Dreyer Vizepräsident Regroup Esports board of directors:_ 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. 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.

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.
