ESL ends cooperation with Regroup Events
As of today, the cooperation between Turtle Entertainment (ESL) and Regroup Event, the license holder of the Scandinavian counties, ends. The two parties have now mutually agreed to cease their cooperation which is due to a change of strategy and focus of the mother company behind Regroup Events Aps.
Despite the unfortunate turn of events, the ESL Pro Series in Scandinavia will continue to run solely by Turtle Entertainment. Following is a press release that explains the situation more in depth.

Official press release
Turtle Entertainment and Regroup Events ApS today announce that they part ways and their partnership within the Scandinavian region will cease with immediate effect.

The cooperation between the two companies was established in 2007 when Regroup Events Aps became the main operator and master licensee of the ESL league system in the region. The focus of Regroup Events Aps was rolling out ESL tournaments first in Denmark and later in the remaining countries of Scandinavia with the ESL Pro Series as the main driver.

Turtle Entertainment and Regroup Aps have now mutually agreed to cease their cooperation which is due to a change of strategy and focus of the mother company behind Regroup Events Aps.

“We have truly enjoyed working with the great concept that Turtle Entertainment offers, the professional organization behind it and definitely all of the great players around Scandinavia that participated in the tournaments. I would like to thank Turtle Entertainment for the corporation and I wish the best of luck for the future of ESL Scandinavia. ” Henrik Andersen, Tournament & Event Director of Regroup ApS states.

Jens Hilgers, CEO of Turtle Entertainment states: "It was a pleasure working with Regroup Events Aps and their team. With their knowledge and experience in the eSports scene, Regroup has been building the framework for a successful ESL Pro Series in Scandinavia."

The ongoing ESL Pro Series Scandinavia Season I will be continued by Turtle Entertainment, with all obligations included.
