About us
We've won more than 10 world titles in just three years but are more than an esports team in pursuit of trophies, our ambitions are greater. A leading global esports organisation, we're working to pave the way for a better, more inclusive industry that provides opportunity for everyone who loves gaming. Striving to elevate the potential gaming has and working to help improve the industry, we’ve launched campaigns that shed light on the issues women in gaming face, we were the first non-football team to join Stormzy's initiative MerkyFC, and we source and nurture grassroots gamers through our academy programme helping them grow into esports champions. Backed by David Beckham and led by an experienced leadership team with extensive knowledge across sports, esports and entertainment – we're driven by our values around class, integrity, boldness and originality. Committed to eliciting meaningful and sustainable change from grassroots up, we want to empower the next generation of gamers and gaming fans globally. We pride ourselves as an organisation at the intersection of competition, community, culture and entertainment and are dedicated to improving access to, and diversity within, the industry helping to future-proof a sector full of potential. We've secured innovative industry partnerships with sponsors such as Sky Broadband, Hummel and Subway. We've launched award nominated marketing campaigns like #NoRoomForAbuse and committed to investing into top esports teams like CS2’s Guild Eagles roster, EAFC players and our sim racing team. Dedicated development and training programmes offer our academy players chances to follow a ‘path to pro’ route. We implement the strongest education and safeguarding programmes through our Guild College, helping support those entering the industry. We also support parents to better understand the career potential the sector has, running education and upskilling sessions, aiming to make gaming an inclusive, safe space for all.

Director - Team & Player Relations / Special Projects at Esports World Cup Foundation | Managing Esports Product Operations & International Affairs | Driving Strategic Initiatives & Organizational Growth
In a couple of hours, the most ambitious project in esports will start: the ESPORTS WORLD CUP will officially launch into 8 weeks of esports action, hosted in Riyadh. The EWC24 is 90% longer than the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games - combined! It's an unprecedented scale of esports operations, and the most extensive international sports tournament in the world in 2024. But explain what scaling up really means, let's get into the numbers for a moment - here is our expecations for the next weeks: 🎮 approx 1500 esports athletes & players 🕹 integrated into 2250+ representatives from esports clubs 🌍 from 100+ nationalities 📊 organized in 400+ game teams 🥇 competing in 22 game tournaments 🏆 for an overall $60M prize pool Compared to a one-game esports operations, this is 10x as busy as we would usually face. To ensure everyone feels welcomed, we upgraded our premium hospitality even further: 🛌 a double tower, 21-floor player hotel with a capacity of 866 rooms providing for both private rooms and the practice areas for all participating teams & players 🏛 not one, but 2 vibrant player lounges, providing first class hospitality - one of it being an entire theater! 💆♂️ physiotherapy and relaxation areas, to ensure rest and mental wellbeing 🍸 ☕ multiple coffee bars and a juice bar, keeping everyone stocked up on vitamins 🌴 25+ activites player can chose from to discover Riyadh and explore the city 🚘 dozens of premium shuttles, ensuring mobility for all participants 🤝 30+ dedicated player hospitality specialists from all over the world, providing support in different languages ... and last but not least these amazing welcome bags, including our very own "Dare to Triumph"-EWC4-jackets, highly costumizable with each players achievements and EWC identity, bringing together these very diverse game communities. Thinking back, where this community started 25 years ago: a coffee, a snack and some shaky hotel chairs to sit in playing our favorite games to win a store voucher, if we were lucky. What a journey it has been to arrive at this point, providing a hospitality standard that comfortably sits on the same level as the biggest sports events in the world ... My entire club & player relations team have worked over the last 8 months to make this a truly outstanding experience for what is at the heart of the EWC24 tournament product: the players and athletes! Thank you Qayser Sachdev Stella Park Magnus Hansson for your amazing work, and Ralf Reichert and Faisal Bin Homran for navigating us to this point with their leadership and vision. A big "GLHF!" to all participants. we are looking forward to 8 amazing weeks of esports action, starting .... today!
