Legionfarm raises $5.9M to connect pro gamers with wannabees

Legionfarm has raised $5.9 million for its service to connect ordinary gamers pro gamers around the world. The idea is to help spread the skills to the wannabees who would love to get tips on how to get better. So rather than filling that last squad spot with a random player with no mic, you could get someone who may actually contribute to a win.

The money came from SVB, Y Combinator, Scrum VC, Altair Capital, Kevin Lin (Twitch), Ankur Nagpal (Teachable), and others.
