Denis “denis” Howell takes over the sports management of CS: GO at the esports player foundation (epf).
The former Counter Strike professional, who is one of the best-known German CS:GO faces, will be responsible for talent development for CS:GO at epf from now on. Denis will work closely with all talents and coaches to create an optimal environment for the development of all talents. He will also be responsible for scouting new talent and acting as a point of contact for new applicants.
"For me, the esports player foundation is one of the most important institutions in esports. I was already able to benefit from the epf as an active player. For me, the new role is a logical step after my career as a professional. I hope that I can use my experience to make an important contribution to ensuring that the DACH region can once again produce more world-class CS:GO players."
Howell can look back on a 10-year career as a professional Counter Strike player. The now 28-year-old started his career at EYES ON U in 2012 and has recommended himself to the best German organizations over the years. After several years at MOUZ, BIG and Sprout, he most recently played for cowana Gaming. His greatest successes include 8 Major participations.
"I am very pleased that I was able to convince Denis to take this path. I have known Denis and his passion for CS:GO for several years. Our paths have already crossed during his active career and now I am very happy to be able to work with him on the future of CS:GO in the DACH region. I am convinced that Denis fits perfectly into the role of sports director and is also the perfect contact person for our talents with his experience."
