About me
The voice of reasonDriven by passion, I spend my time developing esports products and solutions during the day and gaming or organizing events during the night. My enthusiasm spur my way into trying out different environments and activities, while my thirst for knowledge has taken me around the globe.
I love hiking and enjoy spending time on the summit. I used to ride the bike for hours along the Danube, but traded it for hours of swimming in turquoise lagoons. I shape newcomers, encourage and motivate people to get involved into esports. I attend events all over the world while actively supporting and developing the local gaming scene.
