The wild part is that a former Warcraft III champ is steering a major esports business lane, with Marc Förster stepping into EFG’s commercial strategy seat. ESL FACEIT Group brought him into leadership to shape tournament and platform growth, while he targets a stronger commercial base for FACEIT and grassroots competition.

Förster sees events such as the Esports World Cup, the first Esports Nations Cup, and IEM Cologne as proof that the company has serious momentum. He is also carrying experience from Build a Rocket, where strategy, expansion, and global client teams were his daily grind.

His esports journey started way back as a competitor on ESL stages, later taking a German Warcraft III The Frozen Throne championship. His career path covered SPORT1 GmbH, ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE, and 7Sports, before leading Build a Rocket’s consulting unit of around 70 people. He also taught esports business at Hochschule für angewandtes Management.
