Indian company Nodwin Gaming has announced the acquisition of Ukrainian tournament operator StarLadder. The deal, valued at $5.5 million, could increase if certain performance targets are met, though specific details have not been disclosed.

Founder and CEO of StarLadder, Roman Romantsov, will retain his position and become a shareholder in Nodwin Gaming. He expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing their shared vision for developing esports events.

“Together with Nodwin Gaming, we will create unique experiences for fans, organizing unforgettable tournaments for various games across different regions,” said Romantsov.
