Ludwig Sandgren, the founder of Swedish esports team GODSENT, has spoken out after the organization went bankrupt, saying he is unhappy with how the bidding process for the team was handled.

The founder revealed that he filed for bankruptcy for GODSENT on September 2, which he started in 2017 under the name The Final Tribe. He explained that several professional and credible parties of international stature were interested in buying GODSENT, but they were not contacted or allowed to take part in the bidding process.

Instead, Ludwig disclosed that the team was sold to someone who, in his opinion, does not have the experience or resources to run an esports organisation. He claimed that his own group tried to buy GODSENT for more money than what was paid, but did not get a response from the new owner. As of now, the identity of the new owner and their future plans for the GODSENT brand remain unclear.

In the official post, Ludwig Sandgren stated, “I am not happy with how the bidding process has been handled. Professional and credible parties of international stature whom I coordinated with wanted to purchase the brand. 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.”

As mentioned earlier, GODSENT went bankrupt on September 2 after losing their main sponsor, Coolbet, back in spring 2024. That ended up being the breaking point as players ended up going unpaid for two months before moving on. They hinted at a fresh start with a new Counter-Strike roster in early 2025, but that plan never really took off.

GODSENT was formed to highlight Swedish talent in global esports and soon became well-known in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and other games. Although the bankruptcy marks the end of the team as it once was, the GODSENT name could still make a comeback under its new owner.
