<p>On December 3 of this year the youngest E-sports player, Joseph Dean, also known as &#8217;33 Gosu&#8217;, has been signed to Team 33 with a signing bonus of $33,000. Team 33 scouted him for their team when he was just six years old. He has been training with them and has now been signed, Deen says,</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s a dream come true! While many other teams didn&#8217;t take me seriously due to my young age, Team 33 scouted me through Fornite games and let me train and learn with them daily. I couldn&#8217;t be happier today to become an official member of the team.</p></blockquote>

We made it a point to train him over the past few years because young gamers are the future, and we want to start training them early.

It has now finally all paid off and is a momentous day for all of us.</p></blockquote>
