LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global esports organization Gen.G and the world's leading synthetic motor oil Mobil 1 today announced a joint, first-of-its-kind Rocket League program: Gen.G Mobil 1 Racing. Elevating its existing relationship with Rocket League, Mobil 1 is expanding its partnership with Gen.G to create two Rocket League teams - one men's and one women's. In addition to the competitive teams, two Rocket League content creators will join the program to elevate the experience for fans on and off the field.
Rocket League Championship Series and Women's Carball Championship
The men's competitive team will compete under "Gen.G Mobil 1 Racing" in the 2022-2023 North American Rocket League Championship Series (NA RLCS), where Mobil 1 has been a sponsor since 2018. Maintaining both organizations' dedication to gender equity, the women's competitive team, "Gen.G Mobil 1 Racing Black," will compete in Season 5 of the Women's Carball Championship (WCBC).
"We've been looking to get into Rocket League since the very start of Gen.G's entry into North America. But we didn't want to enter until we could find the right, long-term partner," said Arnold Hur, CEO of Gen.G. "We are very lucky to have a chance to work with Mobil 1, who genuinely understands the scene and shares a long-term vision with us to build a team from the ground up."
Gen.G Mobil 1 Racing will be competing in the NA RLCS with the roster of Jack "ApparentlyJack" Benton, Joseph "noly" Kidd, and Nick "Chronic" Iwanski. ApparentlyJack and Noly will be transferring to North America to compete for the 2022-2023 season after competing in the European RLCS, where they had top finishes in the 2021-2022 season. They will be joined by Chronic, a 17-year-old prospect from the United States, as they look to climb their way up the podium.

The Gen.G Mobil 1 Racing Black roster will consist of Kira O., Courtney Johnson, and Isabella "Bella" Williams. Courtney and Bella finished in 3rd place during Season 4 of WCBC, with Courtney earning Regular Season MVP honors. Kira joins the roster following a few months removed from defeating them in last season's WCBC playoffs, where she placed 2nd. Together, the trio will be a force to be reckoned with on the pitch in Season 5.
Combining Industry Expertise
While Mobil 1 has been a fixture on the F1 circuit, NASCAR tracks, and extreme motorsport races, such as the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb for decades, the brand is elevating its approach to celebrating driving by encouraging people to rediscover their love of the sport in new ways.
In the next stage of the brand's celebration of driving, Mobil 1 is evolving from being an RLCS sponsor to creating its very own team within the league in partnership with Gen.G. As historically fierce competitors in their respective industries, the two brands are combining their expertise to make waves in men's and women's competitive Rocket League this year.
"We have a longstanding relationship with Rocket League, which dates back to season 1 of the RLCS," said Ryan Allen, Brand & Partnerships Manager of North America at ExxonMobil. "As we thought through our future in the competition, we leaned into our heritage in motorsport to become involved in a bigger way, ultimately leading us to collaborating with Gen.G to start two teams – Gen.G Mobil 1 Racing and Gen.G Mobil 1 Racing Black. We have a long history of success in motorsports, and we hope that our teams in Rocket League will be able to add to that legacy."
