The Knights are a uniquely geolocated organization. While the team is affiliated with its own city by name, it is not part of any geolocated league or competition. However, the organization has made several moves to establish itself as a representative of Pittsburgh. Last year, the Knights received an investment from the city’s NFL franchise, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Other partners for the Knights include HyperX and Totino’s. The organization fields teams in the SMITE Pro League and the Paladins
Premier League, as well as competing in PLAYERUNKOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS , Super Smash Bros. , PUBG Mobile, and Fortnite .
