TEK9 Becomes part of the Heaven Media Group

For immediate release

23rd June 2009 (Huntingdon, UK): Today we are very proud to announce that TEK9 will become part of  the Heaven Media Group. TEK9 has slowly but steadily been expanding over the years to become the number one portal for Call of Duty related gaming news and has, over time, become the largest worldwide community with over 38,000 registered members and well over 100,000 unique visitors each month. With that in mind the plans for our teams and players did not really fit the plans we had for the website anymore and a solution had to be found. With Heaven Media as our new partner we will be able to take huge steps forward for this community and website.

Heaven Media will purchase the TEK9 website and together we will set out a plan for the future.  Investments into the site will be made so that we can further expand the quality and quantity of our news, coverage and content offered to our visitors. Further investments also include better backing for the site backend and for the staff working on the site every single day. Apart from some minor changes to the design of the website, the core of TEK9 will remain absolutely intact with the only difference being that we will offer more at a better quality!

Statement Steven Leunens, CEO Gamevibes BVBA and new eSport Specialist within Heaven Media: “I’m very excited about this deal and so is the rest of the TEK9 staff and management. Heaven Media will guarantee us the stability and security we need and the resources required to further expand the quality of our site. I can see only great things coming from this partnership both with the renewed strength of the TEK9 community and the new team we will start, the Antwerp Aces. A part of me is sad because this also means we will not see another TEK9 team fight it out on the battlefields but that sadness is quickly put aside when I know a different team will be fighting an entirely different battle to bring you the best eSports website possible. I am also looking forward to working together with everyone in Heaven Media as I feel we are completely on the same page with our future goals and plans.”

Statement Adam Godfrey, Business Development Manager Heaven Media Ltd.:  “After the addition of both Cadred and Crossfire to Heaven Media in the last 18 months TEK9 was a clear decision for us. TEK9 has a great reputation and a growing audience, there is a great deal of synergy and it will fit well within our portfolio.  TEK9 readers can expect to see increased coverage, new content and further investment in the expansion of the TEK9 brand. Steven's addition to our team provides us with a great deal of specialised expertise and he will be working closely with us to deliver many exciting products in the future”
Whilst TEK9 as a team will be no longer, Gamevibes are announcing a new project today to fill the gap. The Antwerp Aces have been launched and you can find more information on www.antwerpaces.be .
