The news broke today on what was the Origen Twitter – now taken over as the main Astralis Twitter – with a series of videos and articles detailing the path forwards<\/a> during the rebrand.<\/p>\n

Anders Hørsholt, CEO of the Astralis Group, said on the organisation’s website that, “Over the past couple of years, all our brands have grown in terms of fans and viewers, but especially the Astralis brand stands out as very strong and recognizable beyond the core esports scene.<\/p>\n

“By merging all activities, not only do we become one of the most significant esports brands in a fast growing global industry, we will also be able to create a new space for fans of all kinds, with much more on the shelves when it comes to merchandise, media activities and new fan related products.”<\/p>\n

It is a big move, especially for the League of Legends team, who’s own Origen brand had a dedicated following thanks to its founder Enrique “xPeke” Cedeño, a former player and legend of the scene. One only has to note the takeover of Origen’s Twitter account to see the reach the Origen brand had. Nor is it the only change that Origen, now Astralis, are undergoing, with significant backroom staff changes already announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n
