AM core joins Nordic Partners Gaming

Nordic Network launched Malta-based Nordic Partners Gaming and signed AM’s core players Nils “k1to” Gruhne, Max “Marix” Kugener and Ville “myltsi” Vilkman.

Nordic Network Ltd has launched Malta-based Nordic Partners Gaming (NPG) and signed the core that previously played for AM: Nils “k1to” Gruhne, Max “Marix” Kugener and Ville “myltsi” Vilkman.

The five-player starting lineup will include Mikkel “Maze” Sparvath and Maciej “Muciek” Mordal alongside the AM core. Jonathan “MusambaN1” Torrent joins as coach and David “Kairi” de Miguel as assistant coach. Fabian Broich, founder of the Achieve Minds agency and creator of AM, has been appointed director of NPG.

AM was created to keep teamless players active; that core reached the semi-finals of Red Bull GIBAWAY JOURNEY 2025 and finished second at Parken Challenger Championship Season 2. The squad is currently ranked 79th in the global VRS.

Broich, now NPG director, said: “Organizations and creators need more than visibility. They need dependable revenue, professional commercial structures, and partners who understand the industry.”

Group CEO Håvard Lehn noted the organisation’s immediate priority is to stabilise the roster and provide commercial and professional infrastructure. He said the objective is to improve competitive results and climb the world rankings.

Maze arrives from AaB and Muciek joins from HEROIC Academy. NPG will be based in Malta, where the team will train and compete. Nordic Network said NPG has been invited to the playoff stages of CCT 2026 Europe Series 5.

The signings formalise the players’ transition from the AM lineup into a branded organisation with dedicated coaching and commercial support. Nordic Network said Broich will oversee the organisation’s sporting and creator-linked activities.
