Alix Largerie is an E-sportsman: a video game player at a professional and international level. Currently under contract with CF Montreal, the Saint-Pierrais was able to represent his club in London or even New York. Full-time on social networks, he tells the behind-the-scenes stories of this industry.
The E-sport, “it’s much more than playing the console in 2025” testifies Alix Largerie. Indeed, real marketing products as he says, the players are recruited by real sports clubs to represent them in the video game world.

There are also several young overseas people immersed in this environment now. The Génération E-Sport documentary series is even dedicated to them. A dive into the daily lives of these gamers who have become professionals.
-Far from imagining that one day he would become a professional FIFA player, Alix Largerie quickly understood that the world of e-sport was becoming increasingly important. Broadcast meetings, with spectators, a universe “much bigger than I thought” he admits. And even if he has been playing for the Montreal football club since 2021, the Saint-Pierrais appreciates what happens to him every day. “It’s a milestone to sign for a professional club. It shows things you didn’t realize before.”
Representing your club obviously, but for this Saint-Pierrais, it’s also a bit representing the archipelago that saw him grow up and where, out of modesty, young people don’t always allow themselves to dream big.
