(“React Gaming” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: RGG, OTCQB: ITMZF) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Parabellum Esports (“Parabellum”) has partnered with XP League, the first and largest esports franchise in North America.

To support this initiative, the partnership will include a spring bootcamp academy program to be co-branded and developed by XP League and Parabellum, as well as workshops and training with the Parabellum coaches.
The partnership will also be a launching pad for the Parabellum Academy, which will work directly with players, creators and enthusiasts who want to enter the esports space.

We can't wait to get started, and we are looking forward to seeing these young stars grow.”
“Our strategy with Parabellum Esports is to build our own professional team ecosystem from the ground up, with recruitment, training and development of competitive professional teams in various leagues that will also complement our current rosters and allow us to expand our activities,” said Leigh Hughes, CEO of React Gaming. “This will also serve the purpose of enhancing Parabellum’s brand recognition and increasing sponsorship and prize money opportunities, with the goal of monetizing this growing asset with minimal investment of capital.”
