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.
