ESL Asia Pacific and Japan senior vice president Nick Vanzetti said:

“We are very happy to have found a strategic partner interested in the growth of esports in Indonesia. Salim Group, with its strong worldwide reputation and history in Indonesia is a perfect fit for what we are aiming to build in the market for the years to come.”

Last month, ESL restructured the leadership of its Asia Pacific and Japan division, bringing Vanzetti and JB Hewitt from ESL Australia to serve as managing directors for the region and promoting Vanzetti to his current VP position. Vanzetti said in a statement that the restructure would enable the regional office to “take full advantage of the opportunities that the market offers.”
