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:

I want to thank Dom Sacco for the opportunity to attend PGC on behalf of ENUK, and Jennifer Willis for all her help while I was out in the States.

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 it wasn’t possible 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, Worlds 2019 was also my first time meeting the rest of the AFK Creators team which was a really enjoyable experience.

On that note, I want to say a huge thanks to Matt Woods and Haodong Zhang for giving me the opportunity to attend Worlds 2019 – an absolute spectacle in the world of esports.

Getting involved in the marketing and partnerships side of the esports industry has been an ambition of mine for the last six to twelve months. With that in mind, I’m happy to share the exciting news that I have started an internship at AFK Creators as their ‘Marketing & Operations Intern’.

For the forseeable future, alongside my university studies and other work in the industry, I’ll be supporting the guys over at AFK to make it the best influencer marketing agency possible!

I’m confident that AFK Creators will be able to help me on my journey to develop new skills, and I’m excited to get involved and help them meet their goals.

I am so happy to have been awarded the grades I have today on #ResultsDay! I’m really grateful for all the help and support that those, both in and out of esports, have given me along the way.

I now can’t wait for my next challenge in September when I start my course on esports business and event management at the Digital Institute in London!

Over the last few weeks I have had the pleasure of reviewing some gear from the guys over at HyperX and my report has just gone live!

I enjoyed producing a different type of written content and hope you enjoy reading it too! Check out my first review for Esports-News UK using this link.

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.

On Saturday I returned to the Gfinity Arena to support the team at the Twitch Prime Crown Cup! This event was unique as the teams were made up of superstar celebrities from the world of sport and entertainment including Harry Kane, Robbie Williams, Maya Jama, Ian Stirling, Peter Crouch, Rio Ferdinand, Thierry Henry and Mo Farah amongst others. I had a great time working the event and can’t wait for the next tournament!
