Company Overview

Their team comprises of four highly skilled university graduates in the fields of business, finance, informatics and high technology innovation. United by our passion for e-sports and StarCraft 2, the team operates under legal and business supervision of an investment fund (Game Zone Ltd. + Veyron Financial Group Ltd.) which finances large portion of this enterprise. The house will serve to tap into the community of International StarCraft II fans. Poland, as one of the largest European states, shows a lot of potential in its vibrant, yet separated from global scene, fan community. The project will set out to bridge that gap. Numerous satellite events will be also taking place for which the house will be the focal point: barcraft events, league matches, game streaming, local tournaments, live cams, large enterprise yet known as StarCraft II League and many other related happenings. The force behind this initiative is our passion for the game and cordial links to the StarCraft 2 community in both Poland and Europe. Our vision is to close the divide between these two fan groups, rendering Poland highly attractive for e-sports-related investments and activities in the future.
