Hughes told Esports Insider: “I’ve been following along with LetsPlay.Live since they first launched in 2017 and I’ve always felt the company, and the team, are leading the way in esports within New Zealand, where I call home.
“As I’ve had a number of different positions within the esports ecosystem I know that my experiences and background will be able to elevate LPL to a force to be reckoned with internationally. I want to be a part of shaping the esports ecosystem in New Zealand and I know working with LPL will make this happen.”
Esports Insider says: Hughes, considering her wealth of experience in both the region and PUBG specifically, makes her a great hire for LetsPlay.Live. We wish the best to both LPL and Hughes, and look forward to seeing New Zealand’s esports scene continue to grow!
