Hometown Team Rogue Looks to Dominate H1Z1 Pro League
By Nicholas Barth ·
Las Vegas based esports organization Rogue is looking to make their home crowd proud in the inaugural season of the H1Z1 Pro League that will be taking place in their own backyard.
Playing in front of a home crowd is one of the biggest advantages that any professional sports or esports team can have, as the unprecented amount of support can help propel a team to victory. The home-field advantage is what Rogue will be looking to harness in the inaugural season of the H1Z1 Pro League, as the Las Vegas based organization will be competing in its very own backyard when they fight to claim the Season 1 Championship of the first battle royale esports league taking place at the Twin Galaxies Esports Center at Caesars Entertainment Studio in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Rogue's roster of Valentin "vago" Goncalves, Janne "ziki" Sajomaa, Riki "Riki" Jarvinen, Ludvig "Stromen" Strom and Jordan "HusKers" Thomas will be looking to continue the work that the organization has done in building the Las Vegas esports scene by rising to become one of the very best teams that the H1Z1 Pro League has to offer with the support of their hometown behind them.
"After working so hard to build up the esports scene in Las Vegas, it's a fun feeling to see Rogue compete as the home team in an iconic venue like Caesars, "said Frank Villarreal, Rogue President and Co-Founder. "Las Vegas locals can finally see their Rogue team compete on an international stage and hopefully win consistently in front of their home crowd."

The organization's success in the titles of H1Z1, Overwatch, CS:GO, Rocket League, Vainglory and Rainbow Six Siege has increased the exposure of the Las Vegas esports scene to the entire world. A major factor in this increased exposure and growth of the Sin City's place in the world of esports has been the investment into Rogue by Grammy-nominated producer, DJ and EDM entrepreneur and Las Vegas native Steve Aoki. Utilzing the massive social media reach and cultural influence that his music career has established , Aoki has helped Rogue in its mission of growing esports in Las Vegas.
With the opportunity to build a championship legacy in the H1Z1 Pro League in the heart of Sin City, Rogue is determined to cement itself as the face of the city's esports scene with the support of their hometown crowd pushing the organization through every challenge that will come its way on the path to becoming H1Z1 Pro League Champion.
