The Renegades, also known as Detroit Renegades and previously LA Renegades, is a professional esports organization that fields teams in League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The League of Legends team qualified for the 2016 North American League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) and began competing in the league in January 2016. The team was at the center of an ownership and management controversy, which resulted in the team being banned from the NA LCS and owners Chris Badawi and Christopher "MonteCristo" Mykles selling the team to NBA player Jonas Jerebko. Following the transfer, the team was rebranded as Detroit Renegades.
