|content=[[Companies/Tricked Esport|Tricked Esport]] has made its return to Counter-Strike with a revamped roster featuring Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså and the former Gaimin Gladiators core. Additionally, footballer Nicklas Bendtner is part of the investment team behind Tricked's revival.

The team's starting lineup consists of valde, Magnus "⁠Nodios⁠" Olsen, Jonas "⁠Queenix⁠" Dideriksen, Jason "⁠salazar⁠" Salazar, and Jamie "⁠leakz⁠" Bugge West Jensen, with Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen taking on the coaching role.

"I've been deeply involved in assembling this team," Nicklas Bendtner, best known for his time at Arsenal, shared in a press release. "I genuinely believe we have a lineup that can compete at the highest level."

"Our goal is clear: to bring Tricked back to the top," said valde, the team's in-game leader. "We have the perfect mix of experience and raw talent."

Tricked had to exit Counter-Strike mid-way through 2023 after going bankrupt, and their time in the game had mostly been spent outside the top 30. However, their squad did reach the top 20 in 2019 after winning the V4 Future Sports Festival, featuring players such as Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen, Rasmus "⁠sjuush⁠" Beck, and Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen.
