We are pleased to walk alongside REJECT again this fiscal year. Through our activities so far, we have truly felt that the way players continue to take on the world in serious competition, and the existence of the fan community that supports every single moment with all their might, is lifting esports beyond a mere competition into a highly passionate culture. As a network that supports payments worldwide, Visa wishes to support experiences where the feelings and passion of support connect across borders. We will work together with REJECT to realize an environment where players, fans, and everyone who loves gaming can connect, take on challenges, and enjoy themselves more freely.
