The initial agreement was unveiled in April 2020, when Rogue’s LEC roster joined forces with Kia to create a range of video content involving its players. As part of the renewed partnership, the new content is said to ‘highlight Rogue’s unique player personalities through inspired storytelling’.

Michael Khoo, Head of Brand Experience at Kia Motors, spoke on the deal in a release: “Rogue has already proven that they go above and beyond when it comes to creating exceptional and highly engaging content with authentic brand integration, and we look forward to surprising and entertaining esports fans once again in 2021.”

With this renewed partnership, Rogue has several partners on its roster, including HyperX, the educational foundation Find Your Grind, and others through its parent company ReKTGlobal.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
