OG & LDN UTD join forces on Valorant

Today, legendary Dota 2 and esport brand OG Esports (OG) and purpose driven organisation LDN UTD announce the beginning of a strategic and exciting partnership which will see the current LDN UTD VALORANT team rebranded to OG LDN UTD.

Through this unique partnership, both organisations will provide world class support, including regular high end bootcamps and other performance services to the players, whilst also focus on community growth and joint events, with some taking place at LDN UTD’s Centre Of Excellence in Camden Town, London.
 

The Roster will continue to be comprised of the existing LDN UTD roster:

Ričardas "Boo" Lukaševičius (IGL)

Lukas "feqew" Petrauskas (Main Duelist)

Tomas "Destrian" Linikas (Initiator)

Michał "MOLSI" Łącki (Initiator);
