G2 Makes First Entry into ‘Traditional’ Sports with the Launch of G2 Football Club in Kings League Germany
- G2 will field a football team in the newly announced Kings League Germany, marking the organisation’s first entry into traditional sports, a major milestone for the club. The team is set to compete in the Kings World Cup Qualifiers in Germany ahead of the Kings World Cup in June.
- 2025 is G2’s 10 year anniversary and as the organisation looks ahead to the future, a key focus area is blurring the lines between esports and traditional sports in a way that makes sense for its young community.
- Kings League and G2 have a shared vision of entertainment, innovation, and fan engagement, blending traditional sports, esports, and entertainment in a way that appeals to multigenerational audiences.
- G2 is the first esports team to join Kings League in Europe.
- The strategic move will harness digital innovation, shaping a future where sports and esports coexist and thrive together.
- The move is an expansion of G2’s competitive DNA, rather than a shift away from esports.
G2, one of the world’s leading esports and entertainment brands, has announced it will be fielding a football team (G2 FC) in the new German division of Kings League, a 7-a-side global football league, founded in 2022 by Gerard Piqué, former professional player for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team, in collaboration with other football personalities and streamers.
Kings League features teams from around the world, with domestic leagues in Spain, Americas, Brazil, Italy, France, and the newly announced German league. On April 12, Kings League Germany will launch with a qualification series for the Kings World Cup, where 8 teams will compete for one of 2 slots to represent Germany in the upcoming World Cup in France. On March 25th, Kings League Germany was announced, with Bastian Schweinsteiger as President, unveiling 6 teams in the league, with a surprise 7th and 8th team. G2 can now confirm today, it’s one of the surprise teams to join the league.
G2 FC is based in Berlin, with 2 Berliner footballers appointed as Team Manager and Coach. Ron Stublla, with a background in Sports Management and played in the Youth Bundesliga, joins as Team Manager alongside new Coach, Malik Hadziavdic, who was a member of the German National Futsal team and played for FC Liria Berlin in the Futsal Bundesliga. The team recently completed tryouts with footballers at the Adidas SPORTS BASE BERLIN, and a full roster reveal is coming soon.
Kings League leverages streaming to maximize its reach, allowing each club to broadcast games directly to their fans through dedicated co-streams. G2 has partnered with German influencers Reeze and Rumathra as their content creator duo, and the pair will co-stream all G2 FC games on Twitch.
G2 is one of the most successful esports organisations in the world, with 40 million fans globally and over 100 first-place finishes across all teams. G2 is known for its consistent competitive success, with the most-awarded League of Legends team in Europe, the best VALORANT team in America, one of the best Counter Strike teams, and the most successful women’s esports teams in the world. G2 is also the most entertaining brand in esports, its raw, unfiltered approach to content and community with a key focus on narrative building and storytelling has enabled the organisation to rise above its competitors, setting the bar high for the industry.
2025 is G2’s 10 year anniversary, and over the past decade, it has grown into a defiant powerhouse in esports, with successful teams across the globe and long-standing partnerships with mainstream global brands including Mastercard, Red Bull, Ralph Lauren, Herman Miller, Spotify, and Oakley. As G2 looks ahead to the future with plans to continue and diversify its expansion, entry into traditional sports is a key exciting pillar for the organisation. Kings League is a completely new way to experience football, combining sport, entertainment and digital innovation, and G2 is ready to take on this challenge to bring something fresh and fun to the next generation of sports fans.
Alban Dechelotte, CEO of G2 comments: “When G2 was created 10 years ago, the dream was to build the ‘Real Madrid of esports’. We wanted to be known as a disruptive brand that’s not only competitively successful, but also has a great personality that knows how to entertain and captivate our fans through storytelling and community building. Now, 10 years later, we are the ‘Real Madrid of esports’, so it’s time for us to go one step further and become the ‘G2 of sports’. Esports has a unique way of connecting with and engaging our passionate fanbase and now it’s our opportunity to show traditional sports how we do things, the G2 way.”
G2 is the first esports organisation to enter Kings League in Europe, and showcases G2’s commitment to shaping its future by blurring the lines between esports and traditional sports, and bringing expert knowledge of new-age digital communities to the next generation of sports fans.

ACR POKER’S NEXT HIGH STAKES ADVENTURE TAKES PLAYERS TO MONTENEGRO FOR PRESTIGIOUS SUPER HIGH ROLLER SERIES
Two $110,000+ Montenegro packages available during ACR Poker’s Main Satellite on Sunday, April 27th
The next chapter of ACR Poker’s High Stakes Adventure is taking shape. Two players are set to win their way to stunning Montenegro in Southeast Europe to compete against top poker pros and high stakes legends for huge prizes during the prestigious Super High Roller Series, scheduled for May 13th to 27th.
Through ACR Poker’s Main Satellite on Sunday, April 27th at 2:05pm ET, the High Stakes Adventure: Montenegro is guaranteeing two all-inclusive packages, each covering $110,000 in tournament buy-ins / entry fees, plus added business-class airfare, and a 5-night stay at the luxurious Maestral Resort & Casino.
“The High Stakes Adventure is all about creating opportunities for players to escape the ordinary and play alongside poker’s elite in incredible destinations,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “I can still feel the energy from my deep run in Montenegro last year, and I’ve got a good feeling this event is going to be just as unforgettable. If you missed your chance to win a South Korea package earlier this year, this is your chance to get in the game.”
Moneymaker is no stranger to the high-stakes scene in Montenegro, having won last year’s Triton Poker Super High Roller Series $25,000 buy-in event for $903,000. Meanwhile, fellow ACR Pro Nacho Barbero also made waves this year during the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju, finishing 7th in the $100,000 buy-in Main Event, earning $946,000, plus cashing in four other events.
The High Stakes Adventure: Montenegro package winners will have the flexibility to split their $110,000 buy-in budget across multiple events or go all-in on a single high-stakes tourney. Off the felt, players can look forward to exploring Montenegro’s rich history, stunning landscapes and vibrant culture.
This latest satellite follows the success of ACR Poker’s High Stakes Adventure: South Korea earlier this year, where two $110,000 packages were awarded to players for the Super High Roller Series Jeju. Players looking to follow in their footsteps and compete for the Montenegro packages can buy into the Main Satellite for $2,650 or qualify for less through satellites running on ACR Poker this month.
