Today’s blog post is a tale of two epic announcements – one concerning AFK Creators, and the other about Esports Insider. AFK I’m excited to say I’ll be working with AFK Creators for the foreseeable future! I started an internship with AFK in October 2019 before my contract with Gfinity began, so to be back working with Matthew Woods and the rest of the gang feels amazing.  I look forward to thriving in my new role, and helping AFK to continue to rise through the ranks in the world of influencer marketing. Esports Insider I am also incredibly excited to announce that I have joined Esports ..read more

As much as it pains me to say it, I have well-and-truly neglected this blog for the last five months! If it makes it any better, I feel that I have been absent for a pretty valid reason… In late January I took on the role of “Operations Coordinator” on a temporary three month contract with Gfinity. As of yesterday, my contract with Gfinity expired following three fantastic months, so I thought I’d throw together a quick post to talk about my time in the role and what a great experience the whole process was. Gfinity brought me in to assist with two major events that were being organised and de ..read more

In November I flew to sunny San Francisco to report on the PGC Grand Finals on behalf of ENUK. Accompanied by three journalists and PUBG’s EMEA PR Manager, I had a great time at the event and enjoyed exploring the city. Whilst watching the games at the Oracle Arena, I wrote an article summarising the tournament’s events and took the opportunity to interview a number of prominent esports casters and players including Lauren “Pansy” Scott and Michael “mykLe” Wake. Below, I’ve listed links to my PGC-related content: https://esports-news.co.uk/2019/11/19/pgc-semi-final-recap-pubg-uk-talent-qualif ..read more

Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend my first ever League of Legends event in Paris. Kicking my League experience off with a banger, Matt Woods and the guys at AFK Creators (the influencer marketing agency I intern at) took me to Worlds 2019 – the biggest League tournament of the year. Despite the result, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Worlds and found myself blown away by both the production value and the atmosphere. Although you were unable to leave the venue and re-enter, I thought that the AccorHotels Arena played a great host to the event. As well as being my first League event, Wor ..read more

Last week I had a blast supporting the F1 Pro Draft at the Gfinity Arena. There always seems to be an exciting atmosphere and buzz throughout the F1 Pro Series and the Pro Draft didn’t disappoint. Seeing the drivers go for interviews and then transition from being amateurs to being signed to professional F1 teams was great! I’m looking forward to the rest of F1 Esports Series and can’t wait to see how the third season unfolds ..read more
