Bio
Adam Jobst-Pistorius
Working with Matt has always been a great pleasure. While producing major esports tournaments (ESL One or Intel Extreme Masters), Matt was hands-on, had an eye for details and was always supportive. He is structured, focused, always on top of things and has a lot of experience which he very happily shares. I learned a lot from him personally, respect him as a colleague and I am very happy to call him a friend.

Matt was an invaluable asset, team member and lunch buddy at Paradox and I hate losing him. Boisterous and straight spoken Matt was a wonderful sanity checker as he is perfectly tuned into what gamers today play, watch and talk about. When it came to running the streaming setup at Paradox he was instrumental in getting us to where we are today. You couldn't ask for a more efficient, fast and professional streaming producer.
