SCROLL

My passion lies in the heart of competitive gaming, maintaining integrity, stability, and flawless operations across every match and event.

With over six years at the ESL FACEIT Group, I’ve built a strong foundation in competitive operations, integrity management, and live event execution. Across roles such as Referee, Stage Admin, Social Media Manager, Anti-Cheat Specialist and Tournament Operations, I’ve supported major events including ESL Meisterschaft, IEM Cologne, and IEM Katowice. This experience enables the consistent delivery of fair, stable, and well-coordinated Esports competitions.
