In order to fulfil its mission of creating “happier, healthier and more successful esports athletes,” Gscience has developed a product named Optimal. The project, which is currently in its beta phase, is described as an “athlete monitoring system” that helps players, coaches, and management to stay on top of health and in-game statistics to identify areas of improvement.
The founders of Gscience collectively commented on the hire: “Bringing Tom on board was a no-brainer. His experience within the esports industry is hard to find and having someone like this as part of the team will help to accelerate Gscience towards its goals. The recent rebranding that Tom spearheaded is testament to this and moving forward we’re very excited to have his input in both the development of the company as a whole and also with our product, Optimal.”
