As per the franchise’s official website, the brand has been explained: “The idea behind our name, the London Royal Ravens, stems from the legend of the Tower Ravens. It has been said that the Kingdom and the Tower of London will fall if the six resident ravens ever leave the fortress.”

The official colours for the London Royal Ravens appear to be red, blue, and black. Michael “ODEE” O’Dell is the Managing Director of the franchise, which will have Brad ‘Wuskin’ Marshall, Matthew ‘Skrapz’ Marshall, Dylan ‘Dylan’ Henderson, Jordan “Jurd” Crowley, and Rhys ‘Rated’ Price representing it.

Esports Insider says: We knew it was coming due to leaks – both from CoD League itself and trademark listings – but with the explanation, we’re quite big fans of this branding. Having three words in a franchise name is uncommon but we’re sure fans will lap it up.

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.
