On the Wylde homepage, Usain Bolt said: “Wlede was born and developed on a global scale. I was a gamer throughout my life and realized that this community was growing stronger. Esports has become so popular that people are looking for jobs related to eSports. If you like competition, eSports is a subject for you, like athletic.”
Usain Bolt affirmed that the goal he invested in Wlede was nothing but looking for championships. Wylde is a young eSports organization and has only been established 2 years ago by Stephen Daly (former leaders of American Ireland Fund) and David Cronin. Currently, Wlede's headquarters is still in Ireland.
Up to this point, Wlede has launched 4 teams including Rocker League, Valorant, FIFA and Rainbow Six Siege. In addition to Ireland, Wlede also recruits talents in many other countries such as France, Duc Anh, Netherlands, Slovania and Spain. In the near future, Wlede will hold a small competition in Jamaica, the homeland of Usain Bolt.
Usain Bolt is considered by experts to be the greatest sprinting athlete of all time. He won 8 Olympic gold medals and had 19 Guinness records. In 2017, the 35 -year -old athletics legend announced retired and focused on the business as well as participating in volunteer activities.
Jamaica athletes are not the only traditional sports star investing in eSports. Gerard Pique is co -owning the Barca Barca Esports (competing at LVP Superliga). Meanwhile, the midfielder of the Manchester United Club, Jesse Lingard also bought the Audacity Esports and changed its name to Jlingz Esports.
