I am Thorin, a.k.a. "The Esports Historian." I've been an Esports journalist since 2001, specialising in Counter-Strike, Quake, StarCraft, Overwatch and League of Legends.

I'm a two-time winner of the Cadred/Heaven Media Esports Journalist of the Year award (2012 and 2013). I also work as a studio analyst for Counter-Strike tournaments around the world, having performed that duty at more than 40 events.

I am the creator of the 'Grilled' and 'Reflections' interview series. I host 'OverSight' and 'Counter-Points' talk shows. I am perhaps best known for providing my perspective and insights on esports via my "Thorin's Thoughts" series of videos.
