Regroup Esports enters the console market

Press release, 17th July 2007

With the purchase of the world’s second largest Xbox community, Xbox Users Group, Regroup Esports is now ready to conquer a new, giant market within the gaming industry – the console market.

For already several years now Regroup Esports has built up know-how and in-depth experience in the business of e-sports. The team behind the company has thus seen possibilities in expanding this knowledge to new gaming fields, this time by purchasing Xbox Users Group (XUG), the second largest Xbox community in the world at www.thexug.com.

With the innovative and quite unusual purchase an e-sports company enters for the first time the giant international console market. A new step that will eventually bring two gaming worlds closer together as well as open up digital doors to a huge American target group.

“By purchasing XUG we hope to gradually bring together two separate gaming worlds – being respectively the world of consoles and the world of e-sports. We believe that such a mix will become useful and exciting to both gamer segments. In addition to this, the purchase is very attractive for us since 60 % of all users of the XUG are from the states – an area we’re very interested in getting to know better,” says Mark Peter Fries, CEO, Regroup Esports A/S.

More than just a fan site
According to XUG´s former owner and future Community Director, Cornelis van den Bosch, the new co-operation with Regroup Esports will also take the Xbox community to a higher level.

“A site like Xbox Users Group can only grow to a certain height as for a hobby and fan site. When Xbox Users Group over the years became this insane hobby, days, nights and weekends were spent to build up the site as it is today. But with the help of Regroup Esports, a giant in the gaming industry, XUG will in the future become much more than just a fan site. I’m looking much forward to this very interesting co-operation.”

Appearing for the first time in 2001 Xbox Users Group is one of the first sites of its kind in the world, being today the world’s second largest Xbox site. At present the site has 45.000 users who can – among others – post commentaries or questions about Xbox games and Xbox Live. Check out the site and all its features at www.thexug.com.

Terms and price of the XUG company purchase will not be disclosed.

About Xbox Users Group:

Xbox Users Group (XUG) Started in 2001 as a small community on MSN Communities and moved quickly to a dot com, that same year XUG started with a forum board and started to build a site around it.  XUG got a Webby Award in 2003 and became Community Member at Xbox.com.  In 2005 XUG got awarded by Xbox.com with the most prestigious title "Friends of Xbox'.  In January 2006 Cornelis van den Bosch got awarded with the prestigious MVP (2006-2007) award. With the help of many XUG grew to what it is today with almost 45.000 members.

IT Trade Union New Head Sponsor for Danish ESWC Qualifier

Press release 30^th March 2007

The Danish trade union for among others the IT business, Dansk Metal (The Danish National Union of Metalworkers), has just agreed to become head sponsor of the Danish ESWC preliminaries.

Dansk Metal, a Danish trade union that organizes people with mechanical, technical, electronic and information technical understanding, is now officially the new head sponsor of the Danish preliminaries to the Electronic Sports World Cup 2007. The agreement has just been made and probably surprises many people as a trade union as head sponsor of an e-sports event might seem a little unconventional at first. However, there are plenty of good reasons for Dansk Metal to choose this kind of sponsorship.

- With this sponsorship we would like to tell people what we are and what we can in Dansk Metal. We are responsible for more than 80 educations, most of them from the IT world, where we have more than 25,000 Danish members in all age groups. We know from former e-sport events and tournaments that a lot of the IT students are interested in computer games and e-sport. With this sponsorship we thus hope to be able to show who we are and get to know our members - and future members, says Michael Antonsen, secretary in the IT department of Dansk Metal.

It's not the first time the Danish trade union shows interest in the computer business. During the last year the union has been present at several national e-sports events, and in February they launched their own clan sponsorship to one of Denmark's strongest Counter-Strike clans.

- It's no longer enough for us to be present with a booth at e-sports events. We want to get deeper into this world and we want to be on the same level as the real gamers.  This sponsorship will help us reaching this goal while at the same time supporting an innovative and interesting event, says Michael Antonsen.

E-sports towards general reorganization

As announced earlier this month, the global e-sports company Regroup Esports, who is, among others, behind Meet Your Makers, is holding the Danish ESWC 2007 preliminaries in corporation with D3 Copenhagen (former D3 Expo) and SLAP.DK. All three organizers are very pleased with the new agreement with Dansk Metal.  

"It is a great pleasure for us all to present the new head sponsor of the Danish ESWC Qualifier 2007, Dansk Metal. The fact that a trade union shows such great interest in supporting an e-sports event shows us that this business is becoming more commonly recognized - and of general interest for others than just dedicated gamers. Besides, Dansk Metal is a large Danish organization with a great number of members who are interested in computers and e-sports, so the deal is in many ways a win-win situation," says Mark Peter Fries, CEO in Regroup Esports A/S.       

The Danish Qualifier finals will be held in the largest Scandinavian shopping mall  Field´s Copenhagen on the 2^nd June 2007, where Dansk Metal will be presented at a booth for those interested. Before the finals three pre qualifiers will be held as well: cK LAN (Jutland), SLAP Live (Sealand) as well as an online qualifier on the internet.

The Danish based but internationally operating company, Regroup Esports A/S, can today announce the purchase of the world’s second largest DotA community, also known as Dotaportal, which can be found at www.dotaportal.com. The site is an online “Defence of The Ancients” community and forum featuring everything needed for both casual and professional DotA players.  Today the community counts more than 300.000 registered users from all over the world.

“We are glad to announce the purchase of Dotaportal by Regroup Esports, who – among others -already owns one of the world's leading e-sports organisations, Meet Your Makers, and thus having in-depth knowledge about e-gamers and gaming communities. We believe this will take the DotA community to a higher gaming level. With the joint forces of Regroup Esports A/S and www.dotaportal.com, DotA players will have access to more quality resources and take part in professional DotA tournaments. Together, we will build a better DotA community and that's our promise,” states Kevin Nguyen, DP Community Director at Dotaportal.com.  

“The purchase of Dotaportal was a key factor for one of our latest projects, the new gaming/community project with the not so revealing working title "Project X-5”, which Regroup Esports A/S is currently building. Dotaportal is a very active DotA community and fits well in our internet portfolio and the above mentioned network project. We are looking much forward to see how it will evolve in the future,” says Mark Peter Fries, CEO, Regroup Esports A/S.
