Fixtures: E-League Season 2 draw
Must see: Every Club’s E-League players
Brisbane Roar will be represented by Dylan Banks (@aussiefifahdYT) on the PS4, Andy Phanaouvong (@AKPO_), who was selected by the Club at the E-League Draft, on Xbox, and our Playoff Winner Isaac Havu (@ozilla811) who will be the Club’s substitute.
PS4 representative Dylan Banks says it’s a dream come true to represent Brisbane Roar & he can’t wait for the competition to begin.
“This year I’ve worked hard and I’ve tried to dedicate time into the game,” Banks said.
“To represent Brisbane Roar is a dream, I’ve been hooked with this team, so it’s great to be a part of it.”
Our E-League players will be backed by the Club’s first official E-League partner XP Esports, who have joined forces with BRFC for Season 2.
XP Esports Director Brodie Fisher, who will also support our three competitors as a Player Mentor, is excited for the challenge.
“XP Esports are excited to be part of such a great club with a very successful history,” Fisher said.
“Our goal is to help build the Brisbane Roar into a competitive and exciting E-League team and to create a professional ESport pathway for future ESport stars within Queensland for years to come.”
We are pleased to announce we have joined forces with @XPESPORTSQLD for the upcoming Season 2 of the @ELeagueAus.
