About Xoryunz

Xoryunz is a leading esports organization, currently operating eight teams under the Xoryunz brand; in Counter-Strike (CS:GO), League of Legends (LoL), and FIFA.
The Counter-Strike and League of Legends teams were originally owned by RFRSH Entertainment, founded by Nikolaj Nyholm and Jakob Lund Kristensen in 2016. In July 2019, both teams were bought out and re-established under Xoryunz, with key members of the management team and staff transferring as well. Shortly after the separation from RFRSH, Xoryunz launched its FIFA team, Future FC, with the ambition to reach even broader audiences. Through the rest of 2019, a total of three players were signed on Future FC.

In December 2019, Xoryunz became the first publicly listed team owner in esports, as the company was listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market.

Through a pioneering approach to performance and by advocating a positive, balanced lifestyle, the Xoryunz Performance Model has proved groundbreaking in the esports industry. The strategic performance approach is a base value throughout the organization, as well as the basis for developing all teams under a shared performance-, branding- and business- model.

In November of 2020, Xoryunz launched the talent programme with talent teams in League of Legends and Counter Strike.

On September 3, 2021, Xoryunz took over Disrupt Gaming’s assets, key staff, and facilities around their Rainbow Six team to compete under the Xoryunz brand in Ubisoft’s North American Rainbow Six League. Xoryunz activities in North America are run by the newly established Xoryunz US Inc. in Las Vegas.

On November 19, 2021, Xoryunz ventured into one of the biggest games in the world, Fortnite, by signing top-talent ‘Th0masHD’, thereby forming the official Xoryunz Fortnite team.

In September, 2022, Xoryunz launched a new women’s team in Counter-Strike with the ambition, not only to perform well and aim for titles, but also support women in gaming like it is done with FIFA player Stephanie “Teca” in Brazil.

While Xoryunz may have pioneered the esports IPO launch, it could set the precedent for more organizations to follow suit, making way for further investment in the rapidly growing global industry. Additionally, Xoryunz’ decision to open up shares to the public is further bolstering esports as a rival to film, music, and sports in the entertainment industry. As esports is still a relatively new field, Xoryunz aims to help educate the market through a continuous high level of information.
