We spoke to Sandra Bloy today, President of the Bavarian e-Sports Association. After we spoke to Christoph Spanagel about Agentic AI past week, basically to bridge the gap in our plan to discuss sports, we returned back on track with this episode. With Sandra, we discussed the growth and development of e-sports, and how popular games like League of Legends and Fortnite are. The conversation covers quite a bit of history of e-sports, training regimens, the role of LAN parties, and large tournaments.
We’ve touched topics like inclusivity, gender diversity in teams, and the importance of health and nutrition. Later we highlight this new e-sports venue in Munich, the SAP Garden, the association’s events, and the role of online platforms like Twitch and Discord. As always, we’ve ended our conversation with something forward looking. And after we learned that e-sports became Olympics,we’re looking forward not only to next years Olympic games, but also the upcoming E-Sports World Cup.
