Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare Esports, commented:
“Our partnership with the U.S. Army continues to be one of the most rewarding. This year, we’re doubling down on our 3-year relationship and hosting the most ambitious edition of the Soldier Showdown yet to provide our servicemen and women a chance to strengthen their bonds with one another and enjoy friendly competition.”

Staff Sgt. Cody Mackall, The Army’s Better Opportunities for Single Solider’s Representative, added:
“Not only has gaming played a big role in strengthening morale in our homes, but it has also built camaraderie amongst the Soldiers and their Squads.
“Soldier Showdown ‘has become a beloved activity in our barracks across the Army. It has provided a unique and meaningful way to provide a sense of connection between Soldiers’ and within our communities.”

The expansion of the deal continues Complexity’s partnership with the US Army which kicked off in June 2019. The US Army is one out of six partners of Complexity Gaming, with some of the others being Twitch, Lenovo and Herman Miller.
