According to one of Diogo Jota’s managers, the Liverpool star is keen on forming a Counter-Strike 2 team. This new venture would presumably fall under Luna Galaxy, Jota’s established esports organization.
Luna Galaxy’s Expansion
Luna Galaxy already boasts a strong presence in various games, including Rocket League and EA Sports FC. However, Counter-Strike 2 could be the next exciting addition to their lineup. Jota was recently seen at the Esports World Cup, attending the grand final of the Counter-Strike 2 tournament between G2 Esports and Natus Vincere.
A Strategic Move
In a brief conversation with one of Jota’s managers, it was revealed that while Jota himself does not play CS2, he is enthusiastic about entering the competitive scene by fielding a team. This move makes sense—Counter-Strike is one of the most popular and enduring games in the esports arena. The ecosystem surrounding Counter-Strike 2 attracts millions of dollars annually, making it a lucrative and high-profile segment of the esports industry. Jota’s entry into this scene would be a noteworthy development.
Footballers Diving into Esports
It’s becoming increasingly common for footballers to invest in the esports industry. From David Beckham’s ambassadorship of Guild Esports to Sergio Aguero’s establishment of KRU, top-tier sports personalities are steadily embracing the world of competitive gaming. Recently, I had a fascinating discussion with Robert Lewandowski about the growing synergy between esports and traditional sports.
With Counter-Strike 2’s immense popularity and robust financial ecosystem, Jota’s foray into the game could further elevate his esports organization, Luna Galaxy, positioning it as a significant player in the competitive gaming landscape.
