We were excited to have Managing Director Frederik on this interview, and we picked his brain about how Overwatch can set up a proper tournament schedule. We also got his insight on the growth of player run organizations, as well as the cultivation of the amateur scene. Kruise educated us about exactly how influential the Genji and Lucio nerfs were, while taking a hard look at the top of the competitive Overwatch scene.
