Espo, the fan engagement platform that rewards collaboration between world-class esports teams, players, fans and sponsors, has expanded its roster of team partners with the addition of 3 international organizations: Built By Gamers, Team BDS and BOOM Esports.

All three teams will join F2K, GODSENT and Team Queso in running a series of monthly campaigns on the Espo platform where esports fans can unlock and redeem an ever-changing variety of exclusive Fan Perks offered by their favorite teams and players.

The addition of Built By Gamers, Team BDS and BOOM Esports is a further expansion of the Espo network for esports fans in North America, Europe and South East Asia. All 3 teams are champions in their respective region and performing at the highest level despite the challenges of competing remotely as a consequence of the global pandemic.
