ReadyUp, a platform for player connection and team management for gaming and esports, has raised $2 million in funding from game-savvy investors.

Last month, ReadyUp acquired Ready Up Live, a gaming community site that was doing some of the same things as ReadyUp. That deal brought together a number of game veterans and celebrities, including Roderick Alemania, CEO of ReadyUp; famous pro gamer and ReadyUp cofounder Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel; and Ready Up Live founder Dan “Greenskull” Hammill, a celebrity gamer who has 262,000 subscribers on YouTube.
