MINNEAPOLIS, June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alpine Esports has officially signed Affinity in what is the first major esports team for Alpine Esports. Alpine's acquisition of Affinity marks the first time in Rocket League history that a triple-nation team will be competing in the RLCS, with team members Percy, Majicbear, Jordan and Creamz representing Mexico, USA, Canada and Canada, respectively.
Alpine Esports is based in Minneapolis, MN and is focused on supporting its communities, inspiring positivity, and competing with passion.

We are glad to team up with the great people over at Alpine for our next chapter and are ready to prove to everyone that we belong here next season."
