This isn’t the first international alliance for Team Reciprocity, it joined forces with Chinese organisation LGD Gaming to secure franchise slots in both the CrossFire Pro League and CrossFire Mobile League last September.
Gibran “Biblos” Gosain, Founder and CEO of Rainbow 7 also commented: “Bringing together Rainbow 7 and Team Rec is an incredible alliance in the League of Legends Ligo LatinoAmerica league. We are excited to work with Chad, David, and the entire Team Rec organization. Our strategic visions are aligned in building strong teams, fanbase, and world-leading esports organizations.”
Esports Insider says: Team Reciprocity is going about international expansion is a smarter way than other organisations have in the past. Instead of literally having to root yourself in a brand new region, partnering with an established brand in said region provides instant access to an established fan base and operations are already established.
