On October 2016, Paris Saint-Germain partenered with Webedia, who owns professional team Millenium and tournament organiser ESWC, to launch PSG eSports. The club acquired Team Huma's slot in the European League of Legends Challenger Series (EU CS), for the 2017 Spring Split. Bora "YellOwStaR" Kim has been appointed as Head of eSports, and the team will compete out of the Riot Games' Am Studio 20D in Adlershof, Berlin.[1][2]
