OG Esports, a leading European esports organization, is excited to announce its expansion into the competitive scene of Rocket League with a formidable American team for the 2024 season. The veteran Rocket League players have come together under the banner of OG Esports, and they are set to make their debut later this month in the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) 2024.

New Rocket League Roster for OG Esports:
– Joseph “noly” Kidd (21 years old, United Kingdom): Known for his tactical team play, noly is regarded as one of the most talented players in the game and recently signed an official contract with Red Bull.
– Jacob “JKnaps” Knapman (24 years old, Canada): With over 60 championship titles under his belt, JKnaps brings a strong presence to the team from North America.
– Robert “comm” Kyser (20 years old, USA): A master of mechanical plays, comm, who secured a first-place finish at Gamers8 last year, is a perfect fit for the new roster.
– Kyle “torment” Storer, Head Coach (23 years old, USA): A former RLCS World Champion and MVP, torment will lead this impressive squad as their coach after retiring from professional play last year.

The new roster has been built around noly, who, in collaboration with OG Esports, has assembled a team with the potential to dominate the upcoming RLCS season. Together, the team brings over a decade of experience and was chosen not only for their skills in the game but also for their harmonious dynamic and alignment with OG Esports’ values.

Founded by industry legend Johan “N0tail” Sundstein in 2015, OG Esports is one of the most popular esports brands in the world. Initially renowned for their historic achievements in Dota 2 as the first team to win consecutive titles at The International, the organization expanded its presence to include other top teams in Counter-Strike and now, Rocket League. OG Esports has become an essential part of the overall development of the esports industry.

“Every player dreams of this, right? To have full confidence that you can build success—it fills me with certainty,” commented Joseph “noly” Kidd. “I think we all know what it means to represent OG. There are high expectations, but I have no doubt that we will handle it. The World Championships are on everyone’s minds, but a few regional tournaments and a couple of Majors wouldn’t hurt.”

“The time has finally come to embark on another classic esports discipline! It was only a matter of time, but I am excited for the opportunity to work with incredible talents to achieve our best results,” added Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, the founder of OG Esports.

The new Rocket League roster will be supported by OG Esports’ longstanding partners, including Red Bull, who have been with the organization for over seven years, SteelSeries, who began their support in 2019, and SecretLab, who joined forces in 2020.
