I have worked with the Red Knot partners on a number of projects, globally and specifically in the USA, and their passion for the industry is infectious. I am excited to help the team continue its growth, both in the U.S. and worldwide.”
Red Knot was founded in 2020 by media and industry veterans Andy Clerkson, Rich Thorp, Camilla Wright and Romilly Evans to bring a fresh approach to PR and communications for the sport, gaming and betting world. Tom Webb joined as U.S. Head of Operations in 2021, adding to a partner group which has worked with some of the biggest names in sports, media, sports betting and gaming worldwide.
“Robin is one of our industry’s mightiest deal makers and no doubt the most connected man in sports betting and gaming,” added Red Knot Founder, Andy Clerkson. “His strategic guidance will help establish Red Knot as the sports betting sector’s go-to communications firm.”

Season 2 of the Series in Development for 2026
Esports World Cup: Level Up, the five-part docuseries from Emmy-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler (Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, Elton John: Never Too Late, Martha), is now streaming for free on Prime Video’s official YouTube channel.
The Level Up series, produced by This Machine (part of Sony Pictures Television) in partnership with the Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF), offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes of the world’s largest esports and gaming festival, redefining what it means to be a champion in the digital age. A second season is now confirmed, continuing the story of the EWC and the next generation of Clubs and players shaping the future of global esports.
In the first season, Level Up captures human stories of the competition. From Oakland’s Soka of Team Falcons, a swaggering extrovert who defies gamer stereotypes while carrying the weight of a tough past, to FAKER of T1, a South Korean icon battling the loneliness of his own legend, each player’s journey reveals the person behind the avatar.
In the Philippines, 19-year-old Sanford of Team Liquid fights for his family after tragedy strikes, while Drazah of Atlanta FaZe traces his rise from a small shed in Alaska to the global stage. Indonesian sisters Chel and Cinny of Team Vitality lead a dominant women’s team even as personal loss tests their resolve.
Beyond the players, Yevhen Zolotarov of NAVI competes to support a war-torn Ukraine, and Mossad Aldossary, the 24-year-old CEO of Team Falcons, shoulders the hopes of a nation as he strives to keep the championship at home in Riyadh.
Together, their stories reveal what truly drives esports’ greatest figures, not just victory, but purpose, pride, and resilience.
Stay tuned for more information about Season 2 of Esports World Cup: Level Up.
