Barcelona Esports are playing the EMEA Ascension and if they win it they will become the first football based esports team to make it to Valorant Tier 1 Scene.
Would they garner a huge number of audience? due to their popularity in Football?
Conceit [#4]Wolves is in China and they do the football
i always found it amusing that of all the PL teams, Wolves is the one with the tier1 val team, and even more amusing, that it's a Chinese roster

Yes wolverhampton is in CN region but they were franchised not promoted so that's a loop hole maybe. Even before 2024 season in 2023 EG was in collaboration with Wolves so they are technically the world champions as well

It is quite silly
Denjisideals [#3]Pretty sure maximum of them do not have any idea about existence of Barca eSports
I watch football and I had no idea that was a thing until last week
ofcourse but once they make it to the emea league I am sure everyone will start following them
xhaetae [#8]isn’t krü associated with messi and aguero
yes but it's not a pro team-owned thing, just that Messi and Aguero have ownership stakes in KRU
Barca esports is owned by FC Barcelona (obviously), Wolves CN is owned by Wolves, The Guard used to be owned by the Kroenckes who own multiple sports teams etc
