Achievements expanded by team members.
From both corporate and governmental approaches, I felt the challenges of raising funds and the challenges of creating benefits as esports issues in local areas at the moment, and encountered a system called “corporate version hometown tax”.
Including e-sports, we are engaged in system promotion activities as one method of regional revitalization.
