Vissers Legal commits for 2 years to the H20 Esports TOP Program

From 2022 onwards the biggest game talent of 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 a partner in Amsterdam and surrounding areas. The TOP programme of H20 has its first official partner and will be looking for more partners in the coming period, to give game talent the opportunity to develop themselves under the guidance of specialists from esports and top sport. In April, H20 will start the 3rd TOP trajectory.
Teamplayers 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 department is now recognised as the sports law specialist in the Netherlands. The concept of H20 and esports in general really appeals to us, because the future of sports is esports and vice versa. H20 has proven to be a leading project in the Netherlands in the field of esports and we would like to support that with this partnership/sponsorship.
Root continues: 'We work daily with a lot of love for the top athletes and companies in the sport. 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 along about the period that inevitably follows after top-class sport, and this is also what H20 pays attention to. So, as far as we are concerned, this is a fantastic match that we are happy to support, both financially and by word and deed.
Two TOP programmes in 2022
Dirk Tuip, Founder H20: 'In sport, talent development is subsidised by the government, usually through sports clubs, the NOC*NSF and sports associations, but this structure does not (yet) exist for esports. It's unclear if this will come at all, but we didn't want to wait for it. Dutch esports talent deserves a chance to develop as a total athlete and that's exactly what we started doing with the H20 Esports TOP programme.
The talents pay a small own contribution for the trajectory which at this moment consists of 4 training camps in which the talents learn everything outside the game itself. H20 Esports Campus and our founding partner Talent Academy Group have invested a lot in this so far. It is great that this contribution of Vissers Legal gives us more security and continuity for the next 2 years. We hope that more partners will join us in the near future.
Tuip concludes: 'Edition II has just been completed and from now on we will be looking for the greatest gaming talent again, with the aim of giving them a big boost in their personal development and growth in a short period of time. Talents can apply via www.h20.gg/talent.
