European-based esports team G2 Esports has closed a series of funding with an investor group that includes FC Barcelona midfielder André Gomes, the organization announced Wednesday.

The group includes Gomes, family office Everblue Management, MACRO Ventures and Brazilian entrepreneur Marc Lemann, who is the son of the wealthiest man in Brazil, according to Forbes: Jorge Paulo Lemann. G2 did not disclose the amount of money raised or the valuation of the organization.

"With this group, we are confident that we can continue on our growth path, build world-class teams and create cutting-edge content," G2 Esports CEO Carlos "ocelote" Rodriguez said in a statement. "G2 is thrilled to bring partners on board that are both passionate about esports and committed to our global growth."

In the past few months, esports teams of G2's size have raised anywhere from $15-35 million, depending on the team's intent of participation in the North American League of Legends Championship Series or the Overwatch League, industry sources told ESPN. G2 applied for an NA LCS spot, as previously reported by ESPN.

G2 is among the four existing European League Championship Series teams to apply for its North American counterpart. Gomes and the rest of the investment group were a part of the team's application for the NA LCS, sources said, and if approved, G2 would need to contribute $13 million in buy-in fees to participate in the Los Angeles-based league. Three other European LCS teams -- Fnatic, Splyce and Misfits -- also applied for NA LCS inclusion.

"In this increasingly digital world, I see tremendous potential in esports," Gomes said in a statement. "Carlos's vast experience as a successful player, entertainer and successful team owner, combined with G2's impressive track record, makes this investment a perfect fit. Esports is the next generation of sports, and League of Legends is its cornerstone. I couldn't be more thrilled to invest in and partner with G2 Esports."

G2 did not disclose whether this investment round was a seed round or not. G2 has previously received investment from Bitkraft Holdings CEO Jens Hilgers, who operates multiple properties in esports.

G2 Esports, previously known as Gamers2, was founded in 2013 by Rodriguez, a former professional League of Legends player. Since then, the organization has housed teams and players in League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Hearthstone, Super Smash Bros. Melee and other esports titles.
