"Gamers are among the most creative and intellectually engaged individuals on the planet. They also are among the most passionate when playing the games they love," said Matt Edelman, Chief Commercial Officer of Super League Gaming. "Our Gaming Clubs offer players the opportunity to display that passion within a local community that they do not have to work to discover. We see the value that delivers every single day, both in the healthy spirit of competition within our programs and the development of meaningful personal connections. The gameplay results are exciting; the human results are awesome. Local members have gotten married, become roommates, and spawned cross-town friendships that will last a lifetime, all through Super League."
