The US Rapper has recently become involved in the world of gaming by launching his own gaming console, \u2018SouljaGame Consule\u2019, and although the business wasn\u2019t exactly a success, it hasn\u2019t put Soulja Boy off. The rapper told TMZ sports that he wants to create an organization to rival \u2018Team Liquid and 100 Thieves\u2019 \u2013 two of the best known North American organizations. Speaking to TMZ, he explained that he wants his team to compete in a variety of the biggest esport titles including Fortnite, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Overwatch and more. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be finding talent, hiring talent. I\u2019m going to put together a team for Fortnite, put together a team for Call of Duty, put together a team for Overwatch, Counter-Strike, all of that.\u201d As for who he wants on the team, he mentions that Ninja has been a mentor of sorts for him as he breaks into the gaming world, \u201cbut it\u2019s going to cost me a lot to hire Ninja to play for me.\u201d It\u2019s clear that Soulja Boy is at the very early stages of planning this ambitious project, but if one thing is for sure, the rapper often does what he says he will do when he put his mind to it. TMZ claims that Ninja\u2019s contract with Luminosity expires soon, and it could be \u2018interesting\u2019 to see where he signs next, so you never know where he might end up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soulja Boy starting esports team to compete in Fortnite, CoD, CS:GO and Overwatch Soulja Boy \/ InstagramSoulja Boy has announced his plans to launch an esports organization to compete in Fortnite, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike and Overwatch, having been inspired by his friend, popular streamer Ninja.
