London Esports recently appointed Alex Harris as its new head of marketing and part-owner. The collaboration with Kappa marks the first deal he has brokered since joining the organisation. LDN currently fields rosters in League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Harris spoke on the partnership in a release: “Kappa is a household name in the sports fashion industry and we are delighted to be working with such a strong brand – a trend that will continue as we develop our merchandising. As a brand, we’re uniquely positioned to capture the mainstream’s attention and we intend to drive this unfair advantage with further activities for that audience, but also stay true to our grassroots within UK esports. I know you’ve seen a few teams sign with Kappa recently but trust me when I say we’re going bigger and badder than anyone else.”
