The former RLCS champion adds veteran savvy to the team.

Deevo is a former RLCS champion, claiming his title in 2017’s RLCS S3 World Championship with the now-defunct Northern Gaming (Canada). The 20-year-old veteran has continued playing at a high level since, most recently finishing within the top eight in the RLCS Season X Fall European Major with FC Barcelona eSports, which released its Rocket League roster in late October.
Coincidentally, Deevo moved from FC Barcelona to a Guild Esports club co-owned by former Real Madrid star, David Beckham.
With Guild Esports, Deevo joins Thomas “ThO.” Binkhorst and Joseph “noly” Kidd.
“I’m extremely excited to start my future with Guild and I hope to help bring them great success in the Rocket League Esports scene,” Deevo said,speaking with Forbes. “I’m accompanied by two world-class players and I’m sure we’ll achieve great things as a team together.”
It didn’t take long for the Rocket League veteran to make a splash with his new team, helping them earn a 3-1 win over Solary .
