MONTREAL, July 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- React Gaming Group Inc. (“ React Gaming ” or the “ Corporation ”) (TSXV: RGG, OTCMKTS: ITMZF) is pleased to provide an update on its wholly-owned Parabellum Esports subsidiary, acquired last February.

Parabellum’s men’s esports team plays in the Rainbow 6 North American League run by Ubisoft. This men’s esports professional league is composed of 10 teams and has three stages where teams each play one game against the other nine teams, with playoffs for the top four teams at the end of each stage. At the end of the season, the four best overall teams from the three stages compete in the world playoffs. Last year the prize money for the world playoffs was $3 million.

In its first year as a professional team, Parabellum has progressed very well and currently ranks in 6 th place as of stage 2, when the team was joined by Alexandre “Blaz” Thomas, a top-10 European player and import from France, and Shaun “Gunnar” Pottorff, an 18-year-old rookie on the top-wanted list for some of the top contenders in the North American League. These new additions already proved their worth in stage 2 in a very competitive league, where the point spread between the first and sixth place was a mere two points. Stage 3 holds a lot of promise for this young team.

Parabellum’s women’s team, which is based in Brazil, has also shown strong results, finishing in the top 4 in the Brazilian tournament “Ela Faz o Game”. The team is playing in the “Circuito Feminino 2022” league and is currently in the stage 4 playoffs.

These performances have enabled Parabellum Esports to attract its first paid sponsorship, with Shakepay, a Canadian technology company, as their first entry into esports.

“Over the last year and with our first entry into the professional ranks, things have been moving fast and progressing well for our teams,” said Chris Lamarucciola, co-founder and CEO of Parabellum Esports. “We’re very pleased with the growing interest we see in our brand from gamers, fans and sponsors alike, and we’re thrilled to have Shakepay supporting us as our first sponsor.”

“Shakepay is delighted to have the Parabellum team as our first esports partner. We're so excited to be part of their journey as they climb the Rainbow 6 ranks, and to help deliver value to their enthusiastic fan base any way we can,” said Carlo Campisi, Partnerships Manager of Shakepay.

“Parabellum is a major component of our esports ecosystem, mainly as an ambassador for our other brands, LOOT.BET and Compete.gg, through its fan base that is growing on a global scale,” said Leigh Hughes, CEO of React Gaming. “Our strategy over the coming years will be to build competitive teams for popular esport games and grow their brands as teams and individuals, along the lines of what we currently see in traditional competitive sports. This will also allow Parabellum to generate revenues from sponsorship, cash prizes and merchandise as the brand continues to grow.”
