French president Emmanuel Macron has publicly praised the esports industry and has stated that he wants esports to take part in the 2024 Paris Olympics &#8211; in some way, shape or form.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67cf767a21695\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>In recent years, the French scene has also developed a strong regional following, particularly within League of Legends and for teams such as Karmine Corp. In fact, the country\u2019s regional League of Legends competition, the LFL, <a href=https://esportsinsider.com/"https:////esportsinsider.com//2022//08//league-of-legends-european-regional-leagues-in-2022/">recorded over 220,000 peak viewers<\/a> at one point during the Spring 2022 season. Rocket League also enjoys a very strong regional fanbase.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67cf767a21e19\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>France has a long history of developing world-class players across a range of titles. Retired Dota 2 superstar S\u00e9bastien \u2018Ceb\u2019 Debs is the only French player to win The International, taking the title consecutively in 2018 and 2019 with OG. French Team Vitality CS:GO duo Dan \u2018apEX\u2019 Madesclaire and Mathieu \u2018ZywOo\u2019 Herbaut, among many other French players, have been highly regarded in the scene for years. Team Envy has also previously fielded very successful French rosters.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67cf767a225d3\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>Given the country\u2019s development structure within League of Legends, it\u2019s no surprise to see the title have multiple rising talents in the scene. Vincent \u2018Vetheo\u2019 Berri\u00e9, Lo\u00efc \u2018toucouille\u2019 Dubois, Steven \u2018Hans sama\u2019 Liv and Jean \u2018Jezu\u2019 Massol have already started to make names for themselves in both Europe and North America. Moreover, players such as Bora \u2018YellOwStaR\u2019 Kim and Paul \u2018sOAZ\u2019 Boyer have attached themselves to European League of Legends history.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67cf767a22d5f\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>France also sees deep success in Rocket League, most notably through Team BDS and Team Vitality. Team BDS\u2019 all-French roster won the RLCS 2021-22 World Championship, and Team Vitality are 22-23 reigning World Champions. More French players have Rocket League World Championship titles than any other country, as of the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67cf767a234cb\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>France\u2019s competitive success across titles is clear, but the country is particularly known for its industry developments, too. The country is home to a growing and passionate fanbase, along with new structures being developed to bolster its scene. Trust Esport, the first esports-specific venture fund in France, was launched in 2018 with the purpose to invest in startups focusing on services that improve esports and gaming. The fund was founded by esports entrepreneur Matthieu Dallon, who co-founded esports platform Toornament.com, and also founded non-profit association France Esports alongside the French Ministry of Economy.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67cf767a23c4d\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>In May 2022, the <a href=https://esportsinsider.com/"https:////www.theguardian.com//world//2022//may//31//france-bans-english-gaming-tech-jargon-in-push-to-preserve-language-purity/">French government banned government officials<\/a> from using several gaming-related words imported from English \u2014 including esports, which must be &#8216;jeu video de competition&#8217; \u2014 in a bid to preserve language purity.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"78\" src=https://esportsinsider.com/"https:////esportsinsider.com//wp-content//uploads//2022//08//EATW-France-divider-large.png/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-126944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EATW-France-divider-large.png 1024w, https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EATW-France-divider-medium.png 300w, https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EATW-France-divider-medium_large.png 768w, https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EATW-France-divider-1536x117.png 1536w, https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/EATW-France-divider.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-heading-67cf767a244f7\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n  \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"government_recognition\">Government recognition<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67cf767a24edc\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>France\u2019s passion for esports is underpinned by some of the strongest government support for esports in Europe.
