Regroup Esports, the leading e-sports organization in the world, has entered into an investor agreement with Danish IT entrepreneur Preben Damgaard.

Founder of software company Navision (acquired by Microsoft in 2002), Danish captain of industry Preben Damgaard, now invests an undisclosed amount of several millions in Copenhagen-based Regroup Esports A/S. The investment significantly strengthens the business and advances their strategic gains in the industry. Regroup is thrilled about Damgaard taking a stake in their business. Damgaard takes a seat on the board of Regroup Esports and will play an active part in the corporate strategy.

Damgaard says: “I am very confident in the growth potential of the global gaming industry.

Regroup Esports operates some of the world´s most popular and influential web properties where gamers from around the world gather and build relationships. I have great expectations of the company, and I see a bright future for us.”

This new investor brings major value-add to the Regroup organization through his international business experience and global connections. “With Damgaard´s professional network we are able to expand our current platform, and there´s great value in the fact that a person like him recognizes the growth perspectives of Regroup Esports and Meet Your Makers”, says chairman of the board of directors Ronny Saul.

The amount of money needed to invest into other game genres is so little that its irrelevant in terms of a question to the investment from Mr. Damgaard.

well maybe now you should change Club MYm so you no longer need to pay for it. After Sk insider so many teams started something equivalent to this, but mouz was the first team to recognize its rather sensless to ask for money there. MYM doesnt need the money anyway, I just understand the need of i in the way that oterwhise to many people would use "Ask mym"
