When it comes to the earliest esports teams that are still around today, none have survived at the top longer than SK Gaming. Formed in 1997 by a set of gaming passionate brothers in Germany, one of which would also form, run, grow and head up ESL, one of the biggest esports tournament organizers in the world, responsible for ESL Pro League, ESL One and Intel Extreme Masters among many others. Ralf Reichert is not only one of the founders of SK and ESL but of esports itself, overseeing some of the biggest changes and the greatest growth periods of esports relatively short life span. Ralf has somehow guided ESL out of the murky waters of recession in 2008 to continue building, growing and expanding and as he’ll admit, with a touch of “right place, right time” thrown in has helped elevate esports to the brink of mainstream acceptance. But how? Let's find out.
