American esports team Rogue have announced that they are launching a brand new team, however, this isn't for a game you'd expect - it's for H1Z1, Daybreak Game Company's survival zombie game.
The team includes Taylor "Thump" Humphries, Reed "Inboxes" Tucker, Isaiah "Staylifted" Slowik, and Dennis "Cloak" Lepore, and the H1Z1 team joins Rogue's Overwatch, Call of Duty, and CS:GO team, which, for an organisation less than a year old, is pretty impressive.
For more on H1Z1 check out the Steam page. Although it's in early access, it's a big statement from Rogue, a team co-owned by DJ Steve Aoki, to move into the esports field for the game, following in the footsteps of Echo Fox.
Talking to ESPN, Rogue co-owner Frank Villareal said: "After months of research, we decided to acquire some of the best North American H1Z1 players for its growing esports scene. Rogue wants to help the H1Z1 scene grow this year into an interesting and very unique esport."
"Rogue has proven as a newer organization that they are committed to competing at the top levels in all games they take interest in," commented Inboxes. "I'm excited to play with some of the best players North America has to offer, and with an org like Rogue behind us, we should be a strong presence in the growing H1 competitive scene."
Do you think H1Z1 can grow to be a lasting esports title?
