– We’re incredibly excited to continue the Heroic journey in the Omaken Sports group and proud to have been acquired by them. We’ve long wanted to expand and have felt that the organization and brand has so much more potential, and finally we are able to execute that and become a multi-game organisation among other things. We’re looking forward to share news to the community on the upcoming expansions, the former CEO now chief governance officer, Erik Askerud says.
Omaken Sports were founded in 2020 by Joachim “Noobwork” Haraldsen and has recently raised €15M for the acquisition and development of Heroic and Omaken, with the vision of creating a Nordic powerhouse of esports.
Both Omaken Sports and Heroic will now be represented as Heroic in tournaments, as the organizations are merging. Heroic will be the brand that the CS:GO roster as well as upcoming expansions will operate under.
