Funding in November came down slightly, but was considerable nevertheless.
Overall, disclosed investment (or pledged investment) in November totalled $63.27m (£46.79m). Below are some of the month’s key stories.
NRG Esports Co-owner and CEO Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez has reacquired OpTic Gaming from Immortals Gaming Club, having originally sold his majority share of the organisation in 2017.
The announcement of the acquisition comes following the sale of Immortals’ Call of Duty League (CDL) franchise slot, OpTic Gaming Los Angeles, to 100 Thieves — leading to a re-brand for the franchise to the LA Thieves.
