Today is a proud moment—not just for REJECT, but for all of us who have been part of this journey.

What started as a passion for gaming has grown into something much bigger: a global esports movement.

From Japan to the world, REJECT is making its mark, and I couldn’t be prouder that Abu Dhabi is the first key base in this expansion.For me, this isn’t just about business—it’s personal.

I’ve known The Birds—~AngryBird and Big Bird—since they were kids. They used to come over to my family home, playing games with my little brother, completely immersed in the world they loved. Watching them grow into two of the greatest esports players in the world has been incredible.But they’re more than just champions. They are Abu Dhabi’s greatest export to the esports world—true professionals who carry our region’s pride with them every time they step onto the global stage. They inspire the next generation, proving that with dedication and passion, nothing is out of reach.Today, they play with a global team which pushes the message of "REJECT YOUR LIMITS!"
