I’m an aspiring journalist in the world of esports. I first got into MOBAs watching SMITE in 2015, and got hooked on CS from the MLG Columbus Major.
My goal as a journalist in this space is to tell the esports stories that will live on in history, and give insight into the stories behind the scenes when they’re relevant.
Besides that, I have a bachelor’s in philosophy and have an interest in German thinkers from the 18th-19th century.
