American company Kroenke Sports and Entertainment announced that they will be joining the VALORANT esports scene next year. The company was founded by Stan Kroenke, the owner of Arsenal club, one of the English Premier League teams.
Recently, we have seen professional players and investors switch from CS:GO to VALORANT. Almost all major esports clubs have built strong rosters to compete in VALORANT tournaments.
According to the report from Upcomer, the team that Stan Kroenke and his company will establish for VALORANT will be based in Los Angeles. In fact, it is said that the team has already signed a few players.
Michael ‘neT‘ Bernet has been the team’s only player announced so far. The professional player played in some teams, but did not show a remarkable performance.
In addition, the KSE organization has the LA Gladiators in the Overwatch league and the LA Guerillas in the COD league.
Riot Games does not yet have a league or a tournament in the NA region, apart from its main game, League of Legends. This might mean that Riot Games may also announce a NA league in the near future.
