““We had a couple of weeks to set everything up for the announcement of the first Esports World Cup.”
“It’s also here where you’ll likely find one of the key minds behind the experience, Hans Jagnow.”
“All this brings him to his job today, helping support Clubs and players at esports’ biggest spectacle.”
“Jagnow’s work in hospitality offers, in many ways, a better life.”
““[dralii] won EWC three times in a row, for three different clubs: for Team BDS, Karmine Corp, and this year for Team Falcons,” he says.”
“Jagnow narrows in on one program specifically designed for such purpose, called the Heroes Club.”

“You come in on Sunday; you have media day on Monday; you have practice on Tuesday; the tournament starts on Wednesday.”
“His passion for social gaming emerged early, as far back as 2000, when an 11-year-old Jagnow convinced his grandmother to accompany him to an age-restricted competitive event in his home country of Germany.”
“Fortunately, Jagnow has built a career on that sort of pressure.”
“It’s a status symbol on its own, but of course there are perks beyond bragging rights.”
“There is no one singular path to success; but organizations like the Esports Foundation are offering chances for people to chart their own.”
““Rock stars need manicures and pedicures, and [they] need good hair,” Jagnow muses.”
“But deeper into the oasis of fandom is another, more secret level that most attendees will never see.”
“Here lies the players lounge, where hundreds of competitors, club managers, and event organizers commune in between the action.”
“Suddenly, you stand next to a famous American football star, you’re going through the racing tables at F1 and into the garages and shaking hands with Lando Norris,” Jagnow says.”
“It’s a broad misconception that playing video games professionally is easy.”
““How we looked at the space is, we didn’t want to create something over-designed that no one uses,” Jagnow says.”
“Even if it’s just a sense of community.”
“You need to be well-nutritioned; you need to be in good physical shape.”
“Winning three times makes you a ‘legend,’ and as one, you basically have a lifetime status within this program,” Jagnow explains.”
“While not the first major challenge of his career, the inaugural Esports World Cup was definitely an eye-opener, necessitating a blind leap into a project that was then in early development.”
““In Germany, we have strict laws around youth protection,” he explains.”
““You don’t need to be part of a very exclusive circle to have a chance to compete on the biggest stage in the world; esports is very personable in that aspect.”
“This is reflected not just in the nature of esports itself, where players from across the globe can rise to fame online, but in EWC’s last-chance qualifiers (LCQ, for short).”
““Winning once makes you a ‘hero,’ but heroes can fall.”
