In the future, he will continue to be involved in the management of “REJECT” and e-sports while continuing his activities as a streamer.
Mr. Hayashi is a person who has seen the e-sports competition scene in Japan at the forefront from the beginning, and is currently active as a streamer and caster as a second career. Through conversations with our representative, Mt. Kabuto, I felt his strong enthusiasm for the development of the e-sports industry and gratitude to the e-sports industry for his activities so far.
In addition, it is expected that the number of casual people who enjoy e-sports will increase in the future, centering on mobile e-sports. I also sympathize with the way we actively disseminate information to those groups in order to convey the appeal of e-sports.
I am convinced that Mr. Hayashi’s thoughts and attitude toward e-sports are the human resources necessary to achieve our mission of “providing a life-coloring e-sports experience and creating an industry that we can be proud of in the world.” It came to.
In the future, we expect that we will utilize our long-standing knowledge and achievements in the e-sports competition scene to play an active role not only in the overall management of our team but also in the development of new businesses.
My name is Yuto Hayashi (YamatoN) and I am joining REJECT.
We are very pleased to be able to walk with REJECT, who has a firm mission and is at the forefront of the e-sports industry in Japan.
While having conversations with Mr. Kabuto, the representative director, I felt that REJECT’s mission of “providing an e-sports experience that colors life and creating an industry that can be proud of in the world” is the same as my goal, and we will work together. I am convinced that it can be achieved if combined.
Utilizing our long-standing knowledge and achievements in the e-sports competition scene, we will strive to achieve our goals, actively challenge new fields, and aim for the industrialization of e-sports together with REJECT. We will strive to deliver a “colorful e-sports experience”.
We are very pleased to announce that Mr. Hayashi, who has a brilliant track record as an e-sports player and is one of the pioneers who created the culture of streamers, has joined our company.
Through repeated conversations with Mr. Hayashi, I deeply sympathized with his attitude of discovering what is lacking in the current e-sports industry and trying to disseminate it immediately. In the future, I hope that through the management of our team, we will disseminate the appeal of players and teams. In addition, utilizing his knowledge, in addition to creating content that conveys the fun and essence of new e-sports fans, we will work on new businesses with even greater speed.
Let me ask him why YamatoN decided to graduate from “DETONATOR” and become the manager of the team management department of the professional e-sports team “REJECT”, and what to do with future distribution activities. I had the opportunity to have it.
