The Chicago Cubs, one of the oldest and most iconic franchises in Major League Baseball, has made a foray into the world of esports.
In 2019, the Cubs announced the creation of their esports team, which would compete in the growing industry of competitive gaming.
The team, named "Chicago Cubs Gaming," competes in a variety of games, including League of Legends, Rocket League, and Overwatch. They have also partnered with the popular gaming platform, "Skillshot Media," to create content and stream their matches.
The move to enter the esports industry is a smart one for the Cubs, as the industry is rapidly growing and has become a billion-dollar business.
It also provides a new way for the Cubs to engage with fans, particularly the younger generations, who are more likely to be interested in gaming and esports.
However, the Cubs are not the only professional sports team to enter the world of esports.
Many other teams, including the Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Cowboys, and Golden State Warriors, have also established their esports teams.
