Powerbang explained why he entered this venture to Esports Insider: “SSG offers an amazing, well staffed organization of professionals who know how to have fun, field competitive teams in games that command attention, and create engaging content that far surpasses the quality of almost every organization out there. I’m excited to lend my industry connections in mobile, and lean on my reputation amongst players and fans to help build an absolute juggernaut in mobile esports that drives the scene forward in a way everyone can be proud of.”
Spacestation Gaming fields competitors in PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile, and Auto Chess Mobile. It also has North American, Brazilian, and Southeast Asian rosters in Brawl Stars.
Esports Insider says: Spacestation Gaming has been an avid supporter of mobile esports for quite some time, housing teams and finding success along the way. This new venture – and bringing in two prominent mobile gaming figures to co-run it – shows just how dedicated the organisation is to mobile.
