ROG x NRG Frag Race

ROG always aims for extreme, so it’s no surprise that ROG gaming peripherals are the premier choice for competitive gamers around the planet. Moreover, the world-class ROG R&D team works closely with world-beating esports pros to ensure our gear meets highest standards of quality, precision and durability.

For example, ROG collaborates closely with top players like VALORANT world champion Max ‘Demon1’ Mazanov, whom we have appointed to become the ROG Peripherals Ambassador. ROG has also worked with VALORANT pro gamer and streamer Rahul ‘curry’ Nemani. Commenting on his experience working with ROG, Nemani said: “ROG makes amazing strides in the gaming industry to provide the kinds of gear that the best gamers both demand and need – and ROG gear is always my first choice. It’s been a pleasure to work with the ROG team.”

ROG is also excited to support professional esports teams, including NRG Esports, home to elite talents across VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, Rocket League, Apex Legends, and Overwatch 2 and League of Legends. To celebrate this powerful partnership, ROG and NRG  hosted the Frag Race event on November 21, 2024 — a one-day VALORANT event led by pro player Sam ‘s0m’ Oh, where a dozen professional gamers and streamers battled it out to claim the crown.
