Tundra signs its 4th roster with the acquisition of YONK, a star-studded team with players hailing from Guild Esports, Team Vitality, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Alliance 
Tundra, the London-based esports organisation housing the world’s best Dota 2, Fortnite and FIFA talent, are excited to announce their entrance into VALORANT with the acquisition of YONK. The up-and-coming VALORANT team was created in December 2021 by Yacine “Yacine” Lahgmari and Malkom “bonkar” Rench from Guild Esports and quickly attracted other well-known players including Vilius ‘Krea6on’ Malinauskas from Alliance and Ouali ‘m4china’ Manset from Team Vitality.
Tundra has been steadily building its portfolio of teams focusing on the professionalism and experience of the talent they sign. The acquisition comes after YONK’s promising performance at the VCT EU Challengers, and will see Tundra enter into their fourth gaming title with VALORANT. YONK’s players are all pro player veterans having come from a diverse range of FPS titles including CS:GO and Paladins, with each having competed for the biggest esports teams in the world, in major tournaments.
“VALORANT’s competitive ecosystem is continuing to thrive, has strong publisher support and a growing community which makes it the ideal next title for us. YONK also presented a fantastic opportunity. The calibre and experience of their players is exactly what we’re looking for to help us maintain Tundra’s strong performance levels,”  said Maxim Demin, co-owner of Tundra.
“We are honoured and grateful for this fantastic opportunity that Tundra is giving us. We have plenty to prove, and the only goal is to win Champions together. We believe that Tundra can provide all the resources needed in terms of performance and coaching, and we are looking forward to an incredible 2022 season,” said Yacine “Yacine” Laghmari.
“YONK’s players are veterans of the industry. The fact that they have experience competing in major championships is very exciting as they come with the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to compete at the highest level. They are still a new team and we’re looking forward to helping them on their VALORANT journey,” Anthony Graham, Co-Founder and Esports and Operations Director.
The official Tundra Valorant roster will include:
The announcement comes after Tundra’s recent signing of Fortnite player Harry “Veno” Pearson.

Esports odds feeds, risk management, and iFrame solution provider Oddin.gg has partnered up with Yolo Group, one of the most innovative igaming, fintech, and blockchain companies in the world. Oddin.gg will provide the Group its iFrame solution, including the full UI/UX and risk management.
Recognised as an innovator since its inception, Yolo Group has been examining available esports betting solutions for many months, prompting their choice for Oddin.gg as their iFrame solution provider. This will make esports betting available to millions of Yolo’s users globally, via their leading brands Bitcasino and Sportsbet.io.
Oddin.gg delivers the highest uptime in the industry, maintaining an ever-growing number of live markets, the two main drivers of engagement for esports bettors. This collaboration is in alignment with Yolo’s vision of creating the most entertaining betting environment in the world.
Tauri Tiitsaar, Director of Casino at Bitcasino, said, “We’ve been monitoring available esports betting solutions to extend betting opportunities with the focus on engaging and entertaining content. After our diligence and being impressed by Oddin.gg’s products and design, we see this partnership as the best choice to offer our crypto-minded customers enhanced esports betting services.
Our goal in the coming years is to attract an increasing portion of younger players to a wide variety of our brands, and to offer them the best entertainment out there. We cannot think of a better partner on that journey than Oddin.gg.”
Marek Suchar, Managing Director of Oddin.gg, stated, “We are so proud to be working with a great innovator like Yolo Group, with their brands as well as the B2B platform Hub88, to build the future of gaming together. We share the same vision as Tim Heath and Maarja Pärt – that betting should be entertaining first, with a betting element within – and not the other way around. 
I am extremely excited that Yolo is joining us on this journey at the intriguing intersection of crypto, esports, and betting. With this deal, Oddin.gg has once again confirmed its place as the leading B2B esports end-to-end solution provider for companies venturing into esports betting.”
This partnership creates a unique proposition at the intersection of cryptocurrencies, esports, and betting, especially for the young, tech-savvy audience with an increasing hunger for esports. As operators pursue the best solution to realise the huge potential of esports betting, they continue to reach out to Oddin.gg for its full esports betting experience.
