ReKT Global has announced the return of the Rogue brand to the LEC for the upcoming season. After terminating their partnership with KOI, ReKT Global has regained control of the Rogue brand and its LEC roster.
In 2023, the Rogue brand was taken over by KOI through a partnership with ReKT Global's parent company, Infinite Reality. However, the strategic partnership has now been terminated, allowing Infinite Reality to reclaim the Rogue brand and its LEC slot. KOI, on the other hand, has regained control of its rosters in other leagues.
Despite having the opportunity to rebrand and choose a new name, Infinite Reality has decided to stick with the Rogue brand. Rogue has a strong history in the LEC, having competed for top spots from 2020 to 2022 and winning the LEC title in Summer 2022. They were also the only Western team to reach the quarterfinals at Worlds 2022.
ReKT Global has expressed that the revival of the Rogue brand is a testament to the loyalty of the fans. They have promised to reveal their future plans for the organization soon.
While not yet official, it has been reported that the rebranded Rogue has finalized its lineup. Szygenda and Comp, who were already contracted, will be joined by former SK jungler Markoon and rookie support Zoelys from the ERL ecosystem. Larssen will continue to be the starting player in the mid lane, maintaining continuity from the 2022 roster.
The return of the Rogue brand to the LEC is an exciting development for fans. With a strong history and a promising lineup, Rogue is poised to make a mark in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on their future plans and performance.
