Fiorentina eSports will have two Pro Players: Giovanni “Giovhy69” Salvaggio for FIFA and Angelo “Tipolosco319” Giannino for PES.
A PES League national finalist every year from 2012 to 2018, Tipolosco319’s best result so far was a Top 6-87 finish at eFootBall Open 2019/2020.
Giovhy69 is one of the best FIFA gamers in Italy, having won international recognition with a Top 9-16 finish at the FIFA 19 FUT Champions CUP 3 in Bucharest. In 2019, he climbed to 82nd in the global rankings, making him the third-best Italian PS4 gamer. Giovhy69 will make his debut for Fiorentina at the FUT Champions Cup Stage of the FIFA 20 Global Series tomorrow, with his matches set to be streamed live on the Hexon’s Twitch channel from 11:45 CET on 29 February (https://www.twitch.tv/hexon_esports/).
Two new non-professional gamers will soon be added to the Fiorentina eSports team in the eSerie A TIM Draft, which kicks off at the end of March.
“Our move into eSports represents another step forward for our club as we look to focus increasingly on digital and the world of eSports, which are so popular with the younger generations around the world,” said Fiorentina general director Joe Barone. “With the support of a young, successful company like Hexon, we’ll build a competitive team which helps to promote Fiorentina among international eSports communities, bringing these people closer to our club.”
