OG Esports Enters Rocket League with new roster set to shake up RLCS 2024

Leading European esports organisation OG Esports is pleased to announce its expanding operations with its entry into the competitive Rocket League circuit with a powerhouse North American roster for 2024. The ambitious lineup of Rocket League veterans unite under the OG Esports banner ahead of the team’s debut later this month when the 2024 Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) 2024 kicks off.

The full OG Esports Rocket League roster:

• Joseph “noly” Kidd (21, UK): Renowned for his tactical expertise and team-oriented play, noly is considered one of the most talented pros competing and was recently signed as an official Red Bull player.
• Jacob “JKnaps” Knapman (24, Canada): Having secured over 60 Championship titles with his teams so far, JKnaps is posed to secure many more as a strong addition to the NA based squad.
• Robert “comm” Kyser (20, US): Having secured a first place finish at his most recent showing at Gamers8 last year, the mechanical superstar rounds out the new roster
• Kyle “torment” Storer, Head Coach (23, US): A Former RLCS World Champion and MVP, torment will lead the impressive lineup in his first coaching role since retiring from play last year.

The new roster was built around noly, working hand-in-hand with OG Esports to build out a team with the potential to dominate the upcoming RLCS competitive season. Together the team have over a decade of experience and were chosen both for their in-game skills and chemistry, as well as their alignment with OG Esports’ values.

Founded by industry legend Johan “N0tail” Sundstein in 2015, OG Esports is one of the world’s most popular esports brands. Initially famed for its historic Dota 2 achievements as the first team to ever win successive titles at The International, the organisation has expanded to include new top performing rosters, including in Counter-Strike, and now Rocket League, and has become integral to the development of the esports industry at large.

“I think that’s everyone’s dream right? To have people put their full trust in you to build success, it fills me with confidence for sure.” Commented Joseph “noly” Kidd “I think all of us know what it means to represent OG, it’s high expectations but I have no doubt we will do it right. I think Worlds is on everybody’s mind, a couple of regionals and a Major or two wouldn’t hurt though.”

“The time has finally come for us to venture into another esport classic! It’s been a long time coming, but I’m super excited about getting into another competitive scene, and to work with amazing talent to achieve our best selves.” Commented Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, Founder of OG Esports.

The new Rocket League roster will be championed by long-standing OG Esports partners Red Bull, who have been with the organisation for over seven years, Steel Series who began their support in 2019, and SecretLab who began their partnership in 2020.
