[Saba Sports News] Real Madrid star Thibaut Courtois recently announced a significant development on social media: he has established his own e-sports team, TC Esports. This team will initially enter the virtual racing domain, and the news has garnered widespread attention since its announcement. It is reported that Courtois chose to enter the virtual racing field because he has previously participated in multiple simulation racing events, particularly in virtual F1 races, where he gained substantial experience. Notably, this is not Courtois’s first foray into the e-sports world; he is also an investor in the Spanish e-sports organization DUX Gaming, having first joined as a shareholder in 2020 and later participated in a €3 million funding round in 2022. I believe that establishing his own e-sports team is a bold attempt by Courtois. His early investment in e-sports and the establishment of a professional e-sports team demonstrate his keen insight and pioneering spirit in emerging fields.
