Esports Insider Says: Wolves are a Premier League club who are heavily involved in esports across the globe, spanning from the UK to China, so it’s no surprise to see them expand their reach west, to North America. This partnership will be beneficial for both sides, as talent will look to be uncovered and provide pathways into professional esports.
