REIGNITE has recently partnered with the Kanazawa Institute of Technology KIT Esports Project through the Colleg“e”Project.

We have been involved through tournament sponsorship and other means for some time and were impressed by the ambitious attitude of the KIT Esports Project, and we are sincerely happy to be able to form a partnership once again.

As an official organization of the Kanazawa Institute of Technology, although the KIT Esports Project is a young organization just one year since its establishment, they are conducting various activities from competitive play and event planning to regional contribution, and they are an organization from which further development is expected in the future.

While cooperating with each other and the KIT Esports Project, we will also aim for further growth.
