On December 3 of this year the youngest E-sports player, Joseph Dean, also known as ’33 Gosu’, 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,
It’s a dream come true! While many other teams didn’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’t be happier today to become an official member of the team.
Tyler Gallagher, co-founder of Team 33 said due to the announcement,
We are beyond excited to have Joseph on our exclusive Team 33 roster. We have secretly been scouting talent for our roster and games over the last few years and are proud to officially sign Joseph. 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. He has shown incredible tenacity and commitment to the team over the last two years and has trained almost daily with our team. It has now finally all paid off and is a momentous day for all of us.
The announcement was made at House 33, which is where the team meets to train for their upcoming season. A roster for next year is yet to be announced, but with games like Fortnite, CS:GO., Dota 2, League of Legends, Call of Duty, and Valorant in their arsenal, they will be a team to be reckoned with.
