GODSENT sold to undisclosed buyer after filling for bankruptcy

GODSENT founder and former CEO Ludwig Sandgren announced on November 3rd that an undisclosed buyer has acquired the Swedish esports organization.

GODSENT’s sale follows Sangren’s bankruptcy filing in September 2025. At the time, Swedish news outlet Fragbite reported that the Swedish Enforcement Authority had repeatedly approached GODSENT to settle its debts, but without success.

Sandgren had been at the helm of GODSENT since 2019, when GODSENT returned to activity following a merger with The Final Tribe, his organization at the time.

But Sandgren revealed in a LinkedIn post on November 3rd that he isn’t satisfied with how the state managed the bidding process for GODSENT. He also fears that GODSENT’s buyer has “no relevant experience or resources in esports.”

I am not happy with how the bidding process has been handled. Professional and credible parties of international stature who I coordinated with wanted to purchase the brand – people I would have trusted to carry the legacy. They reached out to the estate in good time but were never contacted or allowed to participate in the bidding, which I believe they would’ve won.

Now, GODSENT has been sold to someone I fear has no relevant experience or resources in esports. We reached out in good faith, offering to buy it back for more than what was paid but the new owner refuses to communicate. I sincerely wish them the best of luck.

So, this is where it ends.

Even though GODSENT is under a new administration, all of its social channels have remained silent.

GODSENT’s history in esports

Markus “pronax” Wallsten, a three-time CS:GO Major champion for Fnatic, originally founded GODSENT in April 2016. During his time in GODSENT, the organization notably put together an ambitious project in CS:GO with the signing of other Fnatic legends Robin “flusha” Rönnquist, Jesper “JW” Wecksell, and Freddy “KRIMZ” Johansson in 2016.

Pronax left GODSENT in 2020, nearly one year after the merger with The Final Tribe. The organization also invested in other games, including Dota 2, League of Legends, Fortnite, and Hearthstone.

Later on, GODSENT played at a CS:GO Major for the second time, as its Brazilian roster qualified for PGL Stockholm in 2021. The organization tried to rebuild around Swedish youngsters, with little success.
