The record

Five chapters, from the first emblem to a page that is still blank.

  1. 2012The beginning

    A name is born.

    Tricked Esport was founded in Denmark on 12 October 2012. Counter-Strike became a central part of the organisation’s story, and the name stayed in Danish esports through new talent, new teams and defining moments.

  2. 2019The breakthrough

    Against the odds in Budapest.

    On 22 September 2019, Tricked beat Virtus.pro in the grand final of V4 Future Sports Festival. After losing Mirage, the Danish side came back on Nuke and Train to take the series.

  3. 2023An era closes

    The end of an era. The name lived on.

    On 7 February 2023, Tricked announced that its professional esports division was being put on hold. More than a decade of players, teams and results had made the name part of Danish esports.

  4. 2025–26The revival

    Back on the server. Back to winning.

    Tricked returned to Counter-Strike on 14 February 2025, with the look the name carries today. A run through Herning, Vilnius and Portugal brought three LAN titles between April and June. The winning continued in 2026.

  5. Unwritten

    The next page is unwritten.

    The past is on record. The future has no date on it.

Three marks. One name.

The look changed with each era. The red, the navy and the edge stayed.

Worn with instinct.

Some things are better left unwritten.

For now, the project is resting. The name still means something.
