LDN UTD founder Oliver Weingarten has expressed his frustration to Esports News UK over what led to the closure of the UK esports organisation.
LDN UTD was founded in 2018, and was later acquired by venture capital and Web3 company Ludus Gaming in late 2022, with Daniel Gee becoming the new CEO and James Sheehan joining as a non-executive director.
Following a lack of activity, LDN UTD officially dissolved on April 29th 2025.
Before the takeover, the London-based esports org had fielded teams in various games, such as League of Legends, hosted educational, esports and digital traineeship courses inside its HQ, the ‘Centre Of Excellence’ in Camden Town, and the facility also hosted other events and bootcamps for professional esports teams, including OG Esports, who had a partnership with LDN UTD.
