From 2022, the biggest gaming talent in the Netherlands will be supported by Vissers Legal. Vissers Legal is the Sports Law specialist of the Netherlands and has offices in the south of the Netherlands and is now looking for its way to Amsterdam and the surrounding area. The TOP program of H20 has thus gained its first official partner and will be looking for more partners in the coming period, to give gaming talent the opportunity to develop under the guidance of specialists from esports and top-level sports. H20 will start the 3rd TOP trajectory in April.
Team players in sports law.
`We believe that talent wins matches, but teamwork and intelligence win championships,´ says Remco Wortel, partner and lawyer at Vissers Legal. `Vissers Legal already has a worldwide network in sports and our sports law section is now recognized as the Sports Law specialist of the Netherlands. The concept of H20 and esports in general appeals to us, because the future of sports is esports and vice versa. H20 has proven itself over the past 2 years as a leading project in the Netherlands in the field of esports and we would like to support that with this partnership/sponsorship.
Wortel continues: 'We work with great love for top athletes and companies in sports every day. Always dynamic and never boring. And we see esports as a growth market, with possibly even more dynamics than in real sports. We also like to think about the period that inevitably follows after top sports, and this is also what H20 focuses on. As far as we are concerned, a fantastic match that we are happy to commit to, both with financial support and with advice and assistance.'
Two TOP programs in 2022
Dirk Tuip, founder H20: 'In sports, talent development is subsidized by the government and this is often done via sports clubs, the NOC*NSF and sports associations, but this structure does not (yet) exist for esports. It is unclear whether this will happen at all, but we did not want to wait for this. Dutch esports talent deserves a chance to develop as a total athlete and that is exactly what we have started to do with the H20 Esports TOP program.
The talents pay a small contribution for the trajectory that currently consists of 4 training camps in which the talents learn everything outside of the game itself. H20 Esports Campus and our founding partner Talent Academy Group have invested a lot in this themselves so far. It is great that we get more security and continuity for the coming 2 years through this contribution from Vissers Legal. We hope to connect even more partners in the near future.
Tuip concludes: 'Edition II has just been completed and from now on we will once again be looking for the greatest gaming talent with the aim of giving them a significant boost in their personal development and growth in a short period of time. Talents can register via www.h20.gg/talent .
