Jordan is a bit of maverick and he mostly runs our guides and reviews section. He is a skilled news writer whom you can rely to provide you with articulate interpretation of events, but outside of that Jordan is interested in creating a knowledge base for his fellow esports players. He is of a more strategic nature, meaning he still plays games such as StarCraft II and Warcraft III, but you can rest assured his extensive knowledge covers every nook and cranny of the esports world.
