The Norwegian-based esports organisation Heroic has officially acquired the BLAST Premier team slot from Immortals Gaming Club, following an extensive bidding process that included various "leading esports and Counter-Strike organisations" showing interest.

There's no mention of how much the team slot ended up costing Heroic, but the announcement post does state that Immortals Gaming Club (the owners of MIBR) has been in the process of selling the slot for a couple of years now.

"We're delighted to welcome on board Heroic, they've proven through their performances on the server over the last few years, that they belong alongside the world's elite of Counter-Strike," said Charlotte Kenny, managing director of BLAST Premier. "Their impressive showing at last year's Fall Final in Copenhagen highlights what they will add to our tournaments. The level of interest, competition and investment shown for this slot highlights just how much BLAST Premier has grown in the last 12 months alone."

Heroic CEO Joachim Haraldsen has added that the team is "really impressed" by BLAST and the product it has built and that it is "super excited" to help contribute to the tournament's future success.
