Renegades (esports)

Renegades is an American professional esports organization. It has teams competing in Call of Duty, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Fortnite, Overwatch, Super Smash Bros., Rocket League, iRacing and Valorant. The organization previously had a League of Legends team that qualified for the 2016 North American League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), but it was sold to Team EnVyUs after the owners were banned from NA LCS ownership.

In September 2016, professional basketball player Jonas Jerebko purchased the rights to the Renegades franchise.

On August 30, 2016, Renegades signed the former members of Dream Team known as Ground Zero. KiLLa, Chino, Sender and Diabolic had already qualified for the 2016 Call of Duty World League Championship by earning enough CWL Championship Points from Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the CWL. At the event, the team lost their first two matches in Group D to Epsilon eSports and Team Allegiance and then forfeited their match against PuLse Gaming after KiLLa didn't show up for the series. Renegades finished 25th-32nd. KiLLa was dropped less than a week later and was replaced by Ivy the following day.

Renegades acquired the Australian CS:GO team Vox Eminor on June 19, 2015. Renegades were the first team announced to be participating in the ELeague. After placing second at IEM Taipei 2016, Renegades announced that Karlo "USTILO" Pivac would be replacing Luke "Havoc" Paton in their starting roster. On June 17, 2016, Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill announced his retirement from competitive Counter-Strike. Ricky "Rickeh" Mulholland was announced as SPUNJ's replacement on July 12, 2016. Following Rickeh's departure to Counter Logic Gaming, Renegades first added Nemanja "nexa" Isaković to their roster for a brief four-month stint, before releasing him. As their new fifth, they acquired David "Jayzwalkingz" Kempner on a trial-basis from Fnatic's academy team, before releasing him after a month. On September 1, 2017, Keith "NAF" Markovic was added as the fifth player from OpTic Gaming. He transferred to Team Liquid on February 5, 2018 and was replaced by Joakim "jkaem" Myrbostad three days later, as a long-term stand-in. After some time of rumoring it was confirmed on October 31, 2019, that the then-current Renegades team, containing AZR, jks, Gratisfaction, jkaem, Liazz and kassad is being transferred to 100 Thieves.

In December 2019, Renegades signed the roster of Grayhound Gaming, which consisted of Chris "dexter" Nong, Oliver "DickStacy" Tierney, Liam "malta" Schembri, Simon "Sico" Williams, and Joshua "INS" Potter. On January 8, 2020, DickStacy departed from the squad, and Jordan "Hatz" Bajic was brought in as his replacement three days later. On February 11, 2021, Christopher "dexter" Nong left the team to join mousesports. Following Nong's departure, Alistair "aliStair" Johnston joined from ORDER, with IGL duties going to Joshua "INS" Potter. On June 30, 2020, David "Kingfisher" Kingsford joined as the team's head coach.

They recently placed first at the Oceanian IEM fall 2021 tournament, thus securing enough RMR points to qualify themselves to compete in the 2021 Stockholm Major, the first Major Championship in 2 years.

On June 3rd, 2022 Renegades announced that they would be dropping their CSGO team, with Australian team ORDER picking up the roster

Renegade first entered the Rocket League scene in July 2017, picking up the former Selfless Gaming roster after the owners decided to step away from the organization. Their first season in the RLCS saw Renegades go 1–6 in League Play, finishing last in the North American region and placing them in the promotion/relegation tournament. However, the team was able to keep their spot in the top division after defeating both Fibeon eSports and Out of Style in the tournament. Before the start of Season 5, the team decided not to re-sign with the org. Renegades would sit out the next couple seasons of RLCS, returning to the scene halfway through Season 7 by acquiring the former Chiefs Esports roster.
