ForZe will undergo rebranding in 2023.

ForZe, the renowned Russian esports organization, has announced a rebranding initiative set for 2023. In an announcement posted on their official VKontakte group, the company clarified that while they will retain the name and imagery of their mascot, Chernomor, the character will undergo a redesign.

Representatives from ForZe stated that the name and depiction of Chernomor, derived from the fairy tale “Ruslan and Ludmila,” will remain unchanged. However, the mascot itself will receive a fresh design. ForZe has invited fans to choose between two logo options, with the final design to be determined by popular vote.

Founded in 2001, ForZe manages teams in both CS:GO and FIFA. In 2020, the organization made the strategic decision to disband its teams in Dota 2 and Rainbow Six Siege.
