Wie Cheater Counter-Strike ruinieren
Reporter
How cheaters end up in Counter-Strike tournaments, who pays for them, and why the scene tolerated it in silence for years.

As a reporter, I want to know the unwritten rules of the games we all play. And why we play them.

Andrew from Brandenburg is one of Germany's biggest esports talents, playing Counter-Strike at an international level. Only one law stands in his way: the game is rated sixteen and up, so his club is not allowed to train it with him.

On stage + Workshops
For a few years now I've been on stages occasionally and giving workshops.
As a guest
Every now and then I'm the one being asked, talking games on someone else's show.
Format development work
I've been to Japan a few times, maybe that's why I love Ikigai. So I prefer developing formats with people who see something like "fulfilment" in their material. Sometimes a banger of a story does the trick, too. The core of my work: serial podcasts and scenic audio docs.
