Comment from Atsutoshi Kubo, Director of Game & Co. Inc.
Since the word “esports” began to spread throughout the world, the esports culture has continued to grow.
In the esports scene, the age range of “Fortnite” players is relatively low, and there are many professional gamers in the competitive scene who have started their activities at the age of 14 or 15. Because the world of professional gaming is not based solely on merit, we believe that it is necessary to work with parents to understand in advance why they want to become a professional, what they want to do after becoming a professional, and what options they will have after becoming a professional.
CR Fortnite CAMP is run to provide a special experience for all participants, including parents, where they can come into contact with various role models in esports.
