Peter Moore to leave EA as ESports head

CGurrell · February 28, 2017

Peter Moore, currently the head of EA Games ESports division, will be leaving the company this summer to join Liverpool Football Club as CEO. The news broke last night after Liverpools 3-1 loss to Leicester City. He will replace long standing CEO Ian Ayre.

As a fan of Liverpool Football Club myself, Peter has not only realised his own dream of working for his beloved team, in his hometown, but also mine and many of my fellow fans dreams too. I sincerely hope he does a terrific job at LFC.

From a gaming perspective, EA have recently been stepping up their ESports presence, with more competitive modes added in this year's releases of FIFA and Madden than any previous years.

Yup, Liverpool's season looks pretty much over now. Hopefully they can pull it back and get Top 4, I quite like Klopp.

Yeah, after the shambles last night I'm not holding out much hope. But if Moore can make some good moves in the transfer market this summer (offloading Can and buying a couple of young holding midfielders for depth would be a good start), then who knows what will happen.
