All big esports organizations with Marvel Rivals teams

With the Marvel Rivals Invitational now underway and the Marvel Rivals Championship fast approaching, many big esports organisations have scrambled to sign teams for the newly formed esport.

After a late 2024 release, NetEase’s Marvel-themed hero shooter has become one of the top FPS games in the world. It reached over 40m players in the last three months, proving its popularity. Marvel Rivals Invitational is the first official tournament for the game and the competitive community is curious how it will do as an esport.

There are four regions competing in the Marvel Rivals Invitational, each with its own tournament. The EMEA region is up next, running from February 28th to March 9th. A recent tweet showed the eight participating teams, including some popular esports organisations.

On February 26th, Fnatic teased the esports community with a photo of The Thing wearing a Fnatic jersey, but nothing was confirmed. It only made sense that it would give Marvel Rivals a shot since Fnatic also had a team competing in the Overwatch Champions Series.

A day later, Fnatic revealed its roster:

OG is known for its prominent teams in Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2. As such, it’s interesting to see the team step into an esport that isn’t as established. But the organisation is calling it ‘inevitable’ that it would compete.

Here is the roster, with players from all over Europe:

Virtus.pro announced its Marvel Rivals team earlier in February, with a roster made up of former Overwatch competitors. Originally called TeamCats, the squad has expressed excitement at joining the Marvel Rivals esports scene under Virtus.pro.

After a few teases, Sentinels has officially announced that it has a Marvel Rivals team, although the roster is still unknown. CEO Rob Moore stated that he sees ‘tremendous potential’ in the esports scene and they are signing ’emerging talent.’

It’s also unclear if the team will include involvement from FPS streamer Michael ‘shroud‘ Grzesiek. He previously told fans that a Marvel Rivals team he discussed was confirmed to be happening.

Luminosity’s second Marvel Rivals team is going to be competing in the NA region. Here’s the signed team:

Usually focused on Call of Duty, this popular American organisation has decided to join the Marvel Rivals scene as NetEase announces a focus on esports. Check out the roster:

100 Thieves confirmed its entry into the scene at the start of March and then followed up a few days later with its confirmed roster. These players were formerly competing in Marvel Rivals as Team Mutants.

Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag stated: “Marvel Rivals is a once-in-a-generation gaming title and I’m thrilled to see how this talented team, with their already impressive wins, will perform.”

Australian organisation FURY Esports recently placed third in the Oceana Invitational, showing that its new roster has promise in the Marvel Rivals scene. It’s no surprise to see FURY enter the scene early as the organisation is also competing in Pokemon, another emerging scene.

The roster is as follows:

This is another Australian esports organisation that jumped into Marvel Rivals early on. Kanga emerged as the OCE champion in the Invitational. It currently has the largest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster in Australia as well.
