AM squad joins Nordic Partners Gaming
AMNordic Partners Gaming announces the acquisition of the core players from AM and finalizes its roster with two new additions.
The recently launched esports organization, Nordic Partners Gaming (NPG), has made a significant move by acquiring the core lineup of players from AM, a team currently ranked 79th in the global VRS. This announcement marks NPG's official entry into the esports scene, based in Malta.
AM was founded by Fabian Broich, who heads the Achieve Minds agency, to keep players without teams active and competitive. The organization proved itself by reaching the semi-finals of the Red Bull GIBAWAY JOURNEY 2025 and securing second place at the Parken Challenger Championship Season 2.
The roster transition includes the core trio of Nils "k1to" Gruhne, Max "Marix" Kugener, and Ville "myltsi" Vilkman. To complete the lineup, Mikkel "Maze" Sparvath and Maciej "Muciek" Mordal have joined from AaB and HEROIC Academy respectively.
"Organizations and creators need more than visibility," stated Broich, now the director of NPG. "They need dependable revenue, professional commercial structures, and partners who understand the industry."
Håvard Lehn, Group CEO of Nordic Network Ltd, emphasized the importance of establishing a stable foundation for the roster and the professional environment necessary for the players' growth: "Our immediate priority is to stabilize the roster and provide the professional structure the players need. From there, the objective is to continue improving and climb further in the world rankings."
NPG has also received an invitation to participate in the playoff stages of CCT 2026 Europe Series 5. The finalized roster features:
Nils "k1to" Gruhne, Max "Marix" Kugener, Ville "myltsi" Vilkman, Mikkel "Maze" Sparvath, Maciej "Muciek" Mordal, Jonathan "MusambaN1" Torrent (coach), David "Kairi" de Miguel (assistant coach).
