ReKTGlobal, the global esports business authority and parent company of professional esports organizations Rogue and the London Royal Ravens, announces its acquisition of New York-based Fearless Media, a full service data driven media agency specializing in entertainment, gaming, consumer electronics and technology verticals with a dynamic approach to modern marketing. Fearless Media is known for creating integrated global advertising campaigns in collaboration with some of the world’s biggest consumer companies such as PSYONIX, Valve, Turtle Beach, Bethesda, Epic Games, THQ Nordic, Redbox, GuitarWorld and LessonFace.

Founded in 2009 by Cara Scharf, Fearless Media is focused on elevating brands through its unique approach to marketing analytics and insights to develop marketing strategies and execute campaigns that drive revenue and help clients understand holistically how their media dollars are performing. In recent years, Scharf was awarded Acquisitions International’s Most Innovative Marketing Business Leader in 2019, Creative Women in Marketing by Aspioneer in 2019 and Top NY Women in Business by Oprah Magazine & Entrepreneur in 2018. Fearless Media was also named as one of Clutch’s Top New York Marketing & Advertising Agencies in the U.S. in 2018.

To further solidify relationships across all verticals, the deal will bring together Fearless Media’s extensive media network, brand partners and marketing experts, to add another layer to ReKTGlobal’s growing marketing division, making it a complete solution for brands.

“ReKTGlobal’s acquisition of Fearless Media is unlike any other in the esports industry,” said Dave Bialek, CEO of ReKTGlobal. “It allows us to fully support the growing demand for advertising and marketing solutions to the gaming and esports community, as we continue to build our industry leading esports marketing portfolio.”

Cara Scharf, Founder of Fearless Media added, “We pride ourselves on bringing next level digital marketing solutions to our clients across a multitude of industries,” said Cara Scharf, Founder of Fearless Media. “Now through ReKTGlobal, we have the opportunity for cross-pollination across all of our amazing brand partners.”

“We’re excited to welcome Fearless Media to the ReKTGlobal network,” commented John Benyamine, CEO and Co-Founder of Greenlit Content. “With the backing of ReKTGlobal, we have continued to grow our esports audience, and with Fearless Media coming aboard, we’ll have the ability to connect with an even wider audience to drive integrated marketing solutions across social and traditional media on a global level.”

The acquisition of Fearless Media comes on the heels of ReKTGlobal’s partnership with creator management phenom, TalentX Entertainment, to launch a new joint venture TalentX Gaming (TXG) this past May. Coupled with ReKTGlobal’s position as a global esports leader that bridges the gap between the multi-billion-dollar esports industry and the worlds of music, entertainment and traditional sports, TXG leverages the “creator first” talent development and social media monetization prowess of TalentX. TalentX took the influencer management industry by storm by growing a roster of the top one percent of TikTokkers in just six months, including members of the company’s recently created Sway House — Josh Richards, Griffin Johnson, Anthony Reeves, Bryce Hall, Kio Cyr and Jaden Hossler — which racked up one million followers on their group TikTok account in the first month.

Last year, ReKTGlobal acquired New Jersey-based Greenlit Content, a hybrid company that is behind some of gaming’s most popular sites including TwinGalaxies.com, Shacknews.com, GameDaily.Biz and PrimaGames.com. Greenlit creates viral branded gaming content, events and activations in collaboration with some of the world’s most popular consumer companies such as Xbox, HyperX, Chips Ahoy!, Warner Bros., NBC Sports, State Farm, Turtle Beach and Redbox. The company reaches up to 100 million gamers monthly through specially curated video, social and editorial content. Combined, the monumental merger’s assets include 8 esports teams, 36 influencers, celebrity talent including music legends Tainy, Steve Aoki and Imagine Dragons, and 30+ client brand partners.

BASILISK, the global esports organization built to champion science, announced the signing of legendary fighting game competitor Justin ‘Jwong’ Wong as captain of its newly formed Fighting Game Community (FGC) Division. Wong will lead BASILISK’s entry into the FGC by recruiting players, developing community events, and creating FGC – science crossover content.

“Justin isn’t just a competitive genius – he is a cultural icon and humble leader within the FGC. We are incredibly proud to have him leading our FGC division and support the amazing work he already does for the community,” said BASILISK co-founder Christopher Bothur.

A nine-time Evolution Championship Series (Evo) Champion and Guinness World Record holder, Wong brings unparalleled FGC credibility and expertise to BASILISK. His reach extends across the entire FGC fandom of millions, and he was immortalized in Evo Moment #37 which has over 100 million views.

As Captain of BASILISK FGC, Wong will leverage BASILISK’s data analytics to scout and train the next generation of FGC pros.

“Math is super important to fighting games. I’m excited to join science’s esports team. I’m passionate about finding promising players with a positive mentality and shaping them into the next big thing. I want to see somebody else in the spotlight after me and help them reach their potential. If we can discover the next world champion, that would be fantastic,” said Wong upon joining BASILISK.

The signing comes on the heels of BASILISK’s new partnerships with The Planetary Society and Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), announced in July. These collaborations create a powerful bridge between renowned scientific institutions and gamers, which Wong will amplify to his millions of followers and fans.

“Justin is a dream addition to our organization. He exemplifies the dedication and analytical capacity required to be an esports champion or great scientist,” added BASILISK co-founder Hans Kassier.

Wong becomes the second “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) to join BASILISK, alongside Finnish StarCraft 2 legend Joona “Serral” Sotala, who just captured the SC2 Esports World Cup Championship in July 2025. The signing also creates opportunities for cross-over content with BASILISK’s diverse roster, including chess Grandmaster Vincent Keymer and award-winning science communicator Kyle Hill, who brings over 2.5 million followers and a vast network of science enthusiasts to the organization.
