TwitchTV Expand In Europe With 2GD & djWHEAT

TwitchTV is a relative new brand, but stems from rather familiar roots to all broadcasting enthusiasts, as it's the dedicated eSports branch of the very known Justin.tv group. With an already solid and ever increasing reputation in the United States of America, the group now attracted some big names in the business to help push a break through in Europe.

Most of us have become rather familiar with the TwitchTV concept through the works of both KaosTV and MemiaTV's Dennis "Mennace" Fick, who were given dedicated space on the website through a partnership and have already seen quite a lot of face time for the Call of Duty 4 followers.

Yet, the management of TwitchTV is not quite yet convinced with the reach they have in Europe and have therefore added two new experienced and known names in the eSports broadcasting business to help promote their brand and develop new penetration strategies.

The figures in question are none other than eSports mastodon Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham who has been addressing you in many a format for nearly a decade as part of covering events in a whole host of games. His partner in crime will be none other than controversial, yet fan-favourite, James "2GD" Harding of ESL TV, Level Up TV and others.

Snippet from TwitchTV Press Release:

"As the new eSports manager for TwitchTV, Mr. Graham will be responsible for managing relationships and business development with the world’s leading eSports personalities, leagues, tournaments and other organizations.

James "2GD" Harding is a high profile mainstay in European eSports. With over 12 years in the industry, Harding has proven his dedication to eSports with his roles as professional gamer on multiple titles, general manager of Fnatic, Host and commentator for Turtle Entertainment (ESL TV), eSport manager and competitive feature designer at FUNCOM for Bloodline Champions. 

In his new role, James will be leading up TwitchTV's new European branch based in Stockholm, Sweden. Harding's invaluable experience in product design, team management, marketing, event organization and unique influential celebrity profile is a welcomed addition to the TwitchTV family.
