A Little About Beckham’s Guild

Beckham’s Guild celebrated this Month being the UK’s first e-sports organization to complete its public market flotation in the LSE (London stock exchange). Guild finished its listing with a 41.2 million pounds market capitalization after being launched at eight pence per share. However, the Guild Esports price per share dropped to 6.90 pence.

Guild Esports executive chairman Carleton Curtis said that the investment would expand other territories and plan to field rosters for the most premier league titles. Guild plans to add more roasters as they prepare to penetrate the esports market in North America, with David Beckham as the organization’s face.

According to Curtis, the move will provide the organization with the cache, capital, and credibility to fulfill its determination to become one of the world’s esport franchises in the next three years. That comes as the esports market continues expanding with the support of sites like Betway and game development advancements.

The new Valorant roster fits in line with all European rosters. Guild Esports currently boasts an active Rocket League roster that features European talents like Joseph Kidd (Noly), Thomas Binkhorst (Tho), Kyle Robertson (Scrub Killa), and Kieran Durell (Meqza). Besides, Guild also has pro-FIFA player Niklas “NRaseck ” Raseck in their ranks.

According to Yacine, Guild is an organization with mega ambitions, and he is proud to be part of their future. Yacine has always been an ambitious play that plans to establish a long-lasting legacy. Fortunately, the team has already proved itself at a top-level, and now the goal is to become world champions.
