'Oddin.gg,' the Czech Republic-based live esports service provider, has announced the acquisition of Thousand Lives' esports division. Oddin.gg will rename this newly-acquired division to 'Jotun.gg,' and it will become a dedicated esports marketing service provider. Jotun.gg will handle various marketing-related services for Oddin.gg, including but not limited to campaigns, partnerships, and tournaments.
The name Jotun comes from the name for "a member of the mythological race of giants from Norse mythology," while Odin is the name of the god-king in Norse mythology. The name Jotun was selected for the brand's marketing division as it matches with the company's large, ambitious goals for the company. Vlastimil Venclik, CEO of Oddin.gg, stated that the division will take "a gigantic, 360-degree approach that will touch on every area of our clients' esports needs."
