Playing online football at a high level? You can imagine that Combell, as a hosting company, is enthusiastic about that. That is why our company name shines in all its glory on the jersey of KAA Gent athlete Milan Plevier. As a business partner, Combell not only supports the dynamic world of esports, we also give young talent such as Milan a boost. Time to get to know him and the sport.<\/p>\n

As market leader in reliable hosting, Combell lets you grow online. Because we totally believe in doing business on the Internet<\/a>. So, the link with esports is easily made. The phenomenon of competitive gaming is growing faster than any other sport. According to Deloitte<\/a>, experts in business consulting, esports is one of the most dynamic growth markets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our company, like KAA Gent, is a true Ghentian. So we didn't have to think long to link our brand name to KAA Gent's esports operation. <\/strong>We have already scored with the fanatical FIFA players who work here at Combell! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

For Combell, it is a no-brainer to support the esports world. Like our target group, the enthusiastic community is technically talented and has a great entrepreneurial spirit.<\/p>\n

\"FIFA<\/figure>\n

What you should know about esports<\/h2>\n

Ever played a game of virtual football on your computer or game console? Then, you probably played that game thanks to FIFA.<\/p>\n

That most popular football simulation game<\/strong> in the world is published by EA Sports. That game developer<\/strong> is licensed by FIFA, the organisation behind international football. Though their paths will soon part.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

More popular than Adele<\/h3>\n

Along with FIFA, also the esports world only got more popular. That's even putting it too mildly. A few years ago, League of Legends' Word Cup Finals (another esports stunner) at the Mercedes Benz Arena was sold out at six minutes. To give you an idea: Adele takes 10 minutes to sell out that same arena.<\/p>\n

So besides football games, a lot of other games are popular in the esports world. Besides, the hype knows no boundaries<\/strong>. There will even be Olympics for esports! So, for Combell as an IT company, it was a no-brainer to support this fast-growing gaming world.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Every club in first division<\/h3>\n

As an esporter, you still play FIFA, but at a very high and often professional level. Almost every country now has an esports football league. For instance, every Belgian club in the highest football league has one or two esports players. Those esports players play against each other and, at the end of the season, one team wins the league. Just like football on real grass.<\/p>\n

Esports players and gamers are the entrepreneurs of tomorrow! Like Combell customers, they will go big online by professionalising their activities sooner or later.<\/p>\n

Meeting KAA Gent esporter Milan<\/h2>\n

This brings Dutch esporter Milan Plevier into the picture. Indeed, he is the newest Buffalo<\/strong> at KAA Gent. As business partners, Combell and Alternate<\/strong> (supplier of gaming equipment, among other things) give him that extra push! Because 16-year-old Milan and his generation are the future. With our interns and job students in the office, we love to bring this young target group into the office.<\/p>\n
