Wisdom Gaming Studios Becomes the Home for T-Wolves Gaming

BLOOMINGTON, MN – The Minnesota Timberwolves and Wisdom Gaming, the emerging leader in esports and gaming entertainment, today announced the company’s flagship gaming and esports venue, Wisdom Gaming Studios, will be the new home for T-Wolves Gaming, the official esports team of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kicking off in 2023, this marks the first formal partnership between these two Minnesota-based organizations. Timberwolves fans can interact with T-Wolves Gaming players and experience the best of esports entertainment at the Mall of America®.

“We’re thrilled to partner with T-Wolves Gaming and establish their new home at Wisdom Gaming Studios,” said Steve LaCroix, President of Wisdom Gaming. “The connection between professional sports and esports is only growing stronger and we are looking forward to growing the Timberwolves fandom in esports and gaming culture.”

As the gap between esports and traditional sports continues to shrink, the partnership showcases the opportunities available for professional sports teams to partner with leading esports companies beyond the traditional sponsorship model.
