Gamesquare Esports Inc. Completes RTO

TORONTO, Oct. 08, 2020 -- Gamesquare Esports Inc. (formerly Magnolia Colombia Ltd.) ("Gamesquare" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that it expects to commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") today under the
ticker symbol "GSQ". This follows the successful acquisition of Code Red Esports Ltd. ("Code Red"), the authentic esports
agency, and the successful completion of its previously announced business combination pursuant to a reverse takeover
transaction ("RTO Transaction") with Magnolia Colombia Ltd. ("Magnolia"). Gamesquare is focused on the high growth
esports market by signing top-tier talent in the influencer, on-screen talent and player categories as well as adding new
companies to its roster of global brand relationships. Additionally, Gamesquare continues to build its pipeline of potential
acquisitions to accelerate growth and scale with a focus on companies with a proven track record of high growth and
profitability.


"This is an exciting time in esports as viewership has never been higher and the attention that the industry is attracting from
major brands is incredible," said Kevin Wright, CEO of Gamesquare. "Code Red has built a leading talent agency and esports
is in their blood. I see tremendous potential within the agency business by expanding relationships with top talent and with
leading global brands trying to reach an important group of consumers that are loyal to authentic gaming and non-gaming
brands. Furthermore, there is a tremendous opportunity to acquire companies serving the esports market that we believe can
benefit greatly from access to capital as part of the Gamesquare group of companies."

Completion of RTO Transaction, Share Consolidation and Name Change


The RTO Transaction was structured as a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which 2631443 Ontario Inc. ("Subco"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Gamesquare Inc. amalgamated (the "Amalgamation") to form a newly
amalgamated company ("Amalco"). Prior to the completion of the Amalgamation, the existing common shares in the capital of
the Company (the "Magnolia Shares") were consolidated on a 5.8 to 1 basis resulting in 9,996,050 Magnolia Shares
outstanding post consolidation. Pursuant to the Amalgamation, former holders of common shares of Gamesquare Inc. (the
"Target Shares") received one post-consolidation share of the Company for each Target Share held and Amalco became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


Following completion of the Amalgamation, the Company is the parent and the sole shareholder of Amalco and thus will
indirectly carry on the business of Gamesquare Inc. under the new name "Gamesquare Esports Inc." Further, management
and the Board of Directors of the Company changed to consist of persons that have experience in the new business to be
undertaken.


Private Placement Closing
Immediately prior to completion of the RTO Transaction, the Company completed a private placement financing for aggregate
gross proceeds of C$3,008,225, consisting of the sale of 12,032,900 units (each a "Unit") at a price of C$0.25 per Unit (the
"Financing"). Each Unit consisted of one (1) post-consolidation common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common
Share") and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable for two years to
purchase an additional Common Share at a price of C$0.40. Proceeds from the Financing are expected to be used as
disclosed in the listing statement of the Company dated September 30, 2020 (the "Listing Statement"), which is available
under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.


In connection with the Financing, the Company paid to PI Financial, an arm's length party to the Company, finder's fees
comprised of (i) $105,000 and (ii) 420,000 finder warrants (the "Finder Warrants"). The Finder Warrants will be exercisable for
a period of two years from the date of issuance at a price of $0.40 per Common Share.
Further details regarding the Financing are contained in the Listing Statement and in the Company's news release dated
August 6, 2020, both of which have been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Following closing of the RTO Transaction, share consolidation and private placement financing, the Company has 51,328,911
common shares issued and outstanding.


Delisting from the TSX-V and Listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange
The Common Shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") effective September 30, 2020. The Common
Shares are expected to commence trading on the CSE on or about Thursday, October 8, 2020 under the symbol "GSQ".

today's date. Effective today, the directors of the Company who will hold office until the next annual general meeting of the
shareholders of the Company are Maurice Colson, Craig Armitage and Kevin Wright.

Appointment of New Officers

Company's next financial reporting period will be full year results for the period ending November 30, 2020.
New Private Placement


The Company also intends to complete a small non-brokered private placement financing of up to 1,000,000 units (each, a
"New Unit") at a price of $0.25 per New Unit for gross proceeds of up to $250,000 for subscribers who were not able to
participate in the oversubscribed RTO Transaction financing (the "Offering"). Each New Unit will consist of one Common
Share and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "New Warrant") entitling the holder to acquire one additional
Common Share at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of 24 months from issuance. The Company intends to use the net
proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes.


All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four-months and one day. The
Offering is expected to close on or about October 30, 2020. Completion of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions,
including without limitation, receipt of approval from the CSE.
