Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner steps down from ESL, Joins Gfinity

My time with ESL came at a point in my life where all of the bricks fell into place and they offered me the chance to do the things I loved doing. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity given to me by good friends such as Ralf Reichert, Tobias Grieser and Sven Hoffmann. My time at ESL has seen enormous growth, not only for esports but for ESL too, and I'd like to think I played a small role in some of that.

One of the many reasons this was such a hard decision is because I have had the true pleasure of working with some of the finest minds in esports over the last two and half years. Working alongside Michal Blicharz, James Lampkin and Oliver Lossef among many, many talented people has been a real honour and I have learned a great deal from them.

“Paul’s arrival marks an important step in our journey to becoming the number one choice for gamers and esports enthusiasts internationally." Gfinity CEO Neville Upton said in a statement. "With ten years’ experience of working in the sector he has developed an unrivalled knowledge and understanding of what it takes to run a world class esports programme and we are thrilled to have him on board.”

In addition to working for ESL, Chaloner also previously worked in digital marketing. He has hosted some of the biggest tournaments in esports, including the Intel Extreme Masters.
