The acquisition of Absolved comes seven weeks after the organisation acquired Bulldog Esports, in a deal that saw Antony Newton become its Director of Esports.

Harwood spoke about joining X7 in a release: “We did very well with a small team at Absolved and so pooling our resources, time, and expertise into X7 was the easiest decision for us to move forward and evolve into a bigger and better organisation.
