The Legendary Gaming Group ApS owned by former Arsenal and Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner, has picked up a majority stake in Legendary Arena, New Breed Agency, Team Singularity, and an unidentified esports company.
Footballers investing in Esports is nothing new but a commitment on this level is rare. Not only will he oversee the functioning of all the organizations, but he will also be involved in day-to-day operations for every one of them, the player confirmed.
“I am really pleased with the team we have assembled at Legendary and look forward to being part of something bigger in an industry I am fascinated by,” he said.
Bendtner has been open towards his love for CSGO for a long time now. Given the considerable fortune that he earned playing football at the highest level, it is only fair that he invests in an ever-growing industry.
That being said, the teams he is associated with are anything but Tier-1 and for them to reach there, it will take a considerable amount of work. Having funding behind them is a good start but unless money is spent wisely it will be difficult to reach greater heights.
