World Champion Fantasy (WCF), a leading technology developer of PlayerX, the world’s next generation online fantasy esports platform, today announced JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, esports team owner and content creator, as an equity investor in the company. In addition to his investment in WCF, Smith-Schuster will also act as an advisor, spokesperson and new product collaborator for the company.
Smith-Schuster’s interest and involvement in esports began in 2018, when he became a content creator and collaborator with some of the most popular professional esports and entertainment companies in the world. In 2020, Smith-Schuster founded Team Diverge, the world’s first athlete-led gaming entertainment and lifestyle company. Smith-Schuster is currently the CEO of Team Diverge.
“What WCF is building is revolutionary for the esports community. The entire experience from streaming, stats, data building, clipping and, for the first time ever, fantasy, is next level,” said Smith-Schuster. “As an investor and an advisor, I’ve got big plans for accelerating esports within mainstream audiences. I’m going to be to WCF what Madden is to EA Sports.”
On Sunday, Oct. 16, during warm-ups for the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game, Smith-Schuster will don custom Adidas cleats featuring WCF’s upcoming flagship platform, PlayerX.
“JuJu is an esports visionary and has helped merge the esports world with the greater sports and entertainment industry for the past four years. Through his involvement with noted esports brands and Team Diverge, he has proved to be one of the market’s greatest advocates, underscoring that gamers are true athletes,” said Mike Vela, CEO of WCF. “After demoing our upcoming PlayerX platform design, JuJu sees how we’re building game-changing technology to forever shift the way users play, stream and experience fantasy sports. His unique vision is going to help WCF elevate our platform beyond anyone’s imagination.”
