I think the

One of the great mysteries of

is how

&

with their first 🌍 economies & history in the game

If you are not enthusiastic about expansion of

One of the big plusses for an

is it’ll have capacity to tap into raw talent from a massive potential player pool in 🇿🇦, something that won’t be lost on Andrew Abdo
