Esports Entertainment Group, Inc., an online esports tournament and 18+ gaming company, announced that it has entered into an agreement with AEG, the world’s leading sports and live entertainment company, to become the official esports tournament provider for the LA Kings of the National Hockey League and LA Galaxy. This is a new category for the LA Kings and LA Galaxy and the Company’s first partnership with an MLS and NHL team.
