According to a news post on the esports organization’s official website, the $46 million capital investment will “support the ongoing expansion of Gen.G’s global footprint, the development of Gen.G’s youth esports academy program; and the launch of Gen.G’s Los Angeles headquarters opening in July 2019.”
In other recent news, Gen.G has also formed another new all-female esports team for Fortnite, as well as won championships in both PUBG and Heroes of The Storm.
Honda had this to say about the massive investment in Gen.G with his partner Will Smith:
“I am excited that Dreamers Fund, the fund that I co-launched with Will Smith, is now investing in Gen.G. Esports is not yet big in Japan, but we are seeing tremendous growth there and globally, which is very positive.
We decided to invest in Gen. G because of their incredible team and grand vision to become a leader in the space. We truly look forward to working with Gen.G to boost the esports industry around the world.”
