NEW YORK, June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rogue has announced a new partnership with Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers. As the official peripheral partner for Rogue's LEC League of Legends team and AGO Rogue, Razer will sponsor the teams’ headsets, keyboards, mice, and mouse mats — industry-leading gear that will help maintain Rogue's winning tradition for its League of Legends teams.
Rogue exceeded expectations last year, once again rising to the top of the LEC in Spring Split 2022. After acquiring Greek bot laner Markos “Comp” Stamkopoulos and South Korean jungler Geun-Seong “Malrang” Kim, the Rogue squad reached first place in regular season and secured second place in the grand finals of Spring 2022 Playoffs.
“We are very happy to welcome Rogue to Team Razer,” says Flo Gutierrez, Global Esports Director at Razer. “Rogue has showcased incredible results in the LEC for some time and they will find themselves in good company with other elite Esports teams from around the world under the Razer banner. We are looking forward to even more epic plays and wins from them as they head into the Summer Split with the backing of Razer as their hardware partner.”
“Together with a strong partner like Razer, Rogue is training hard for the upcoming Summer Split,” said Jon Urwin, Vice President of Commercial Partnerships at ReKTGlobal. “We invite the world to watch as this team reaches even further and finally wins the LEC trophy, travels to the World Championship in North America, and represents Europe as the first seed team.”
