Clutch Gaming (CG) was an American esports organization founded by the Houston Rockets in 2017. It had a professional League of Legends team that competed in North America's League of Legends Championship Series (LCS). In 2019, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment acquired a majority stake in Clutch Gaming and merged it with Dignitas.
The team saw mixed success in its two years of competition. Although Clutch Gaming was never able to reach the LCS finals, it did qualify for the 2019 World Championship after winning that year's regional qualifier. At the World Championship, the team managed to advance from the play-in stage to the group stage of the main event. However, Clutch Gaming was eliminated after failing to pick up a win in what commentators described as a "group of death".
