RektGlobal said its esports team Rogue has secured a slot in the official Riot Games League of Legends European Championship competition.

Rogue will be one of the ten teams that will go on to compete in Riot’s revamped League of Legends
European Championship. This past year, Europe had two of the top four teams competing globally, with the champions, Fnatic, significantly increasing international viewership of the competition. Franchise participants are dishing out $13 million or so for slots in Riot’s new league, but they also share the proceeds that Riot shares from various media revenue streams.
