The Knights are pleased to announce that Garett “Grt” Bambrough has been promoted to the role of General Manager. Bambrough has had an extensive career in the esports space. From his beginnings as a professional CS:GO player, most notably for EG, he went on to represent his home country of Canada in a number of international events, winning the World Cyber Games in 2009.

Since joining the Knights as an esports consultant in 2018, Bambrough has been dedicated to team building and recruiting new talent. “Working with a team is what I’ve always been drawn to. I’m excited to continue with the Knights in this role and to have the opportunity to empower young talent”.

The Knights are a global esports organization headquartered in Pittsburgh. Since launching in 2017, the Knights have focused on entertaining fans, sharing esports, and bringing people together with live and virtual events.

Officially recognized by Pittsburgh as a premier team, they have partnered with the most talented, innovative, and prestigious sports and entertainment industry leaders – both in the city and around the world.
