Riftbound Challenge Gdańsk #2 | The People Behind It (1/4) ❤️ I want to start these posts with the people who made this event possible. Over the past few days, I've been reading messages from players and seeing how much they appreciated everything we prepared for them. And every time I read something positive, I think about all the people who worked so hard behind the scenes. First of all, a special thank you to @Pepowski_FAB , @Cherry606792130 and @Meleleta . I honestly don't know how I would have managed without you two. Your dedication, professionalism and support throughout this entire journey meant more to me than you probably realize. To our incredible judges, admins and staff, including @Esus099 , @PvtVoid2 , @itsladyLine , @tonylmb5 , @LoPPanicz , Tomasz Lutor, Witold Waczyński, and everyone else who helped us, thank you for giving this event your time, energy and heart. To our incredible casters @PEKatchouze , @LotharHS and @CasterBandit , I honestly couldn't have asked for a better broadcast team. The energy, passion, knowledge and professionalism you brought to our event were absolutely incredible. You made every match exciting to watch, kept the audience entertained between rounds and gave our players the kind of coverage they truly deserved. I know how much preparation went into this, and I'm especially grateful that you travelled to Gdańsk to be part of something we're building here in Poland. Having you with us made the whole event feel so much more special. And of course, a huge thank you to @Gabriev666 for handling the technical side of the broadcast. I know how much work, stress and problem-solving happens behind the scenes, often without anyone watching ever realizing it. I'm genuinely proud of what you guys delivered together. Thank you for making our Showdown look and feel like a major international event. And a very special thank you to @KonkolMichal for capturing all those wonderful moments throughout the weekend. Michał, your photos are absolutely beautiful. You managed to capture not just the players and the matches, but also the emotions, excitement, friendships and atmosphere that made this event so special to me. Looking through your photos brings back so many memories, and I'm incredibly grateful that we'll have them to look back on for years to come. Thank you for putting so much heart into your work and for making our event look so amazing. ❤️ I also want to personally thank @PlayUVSGames and @riotgames for their trust, support and the opportunity to make our tournament part of the official Showdown Series. Being given that opportunity meant so much to me. I know things weren't always easy, and I know how much work everyone put into this weekend. But seeing the players happy and reading their feedback makes me even more grateful that I got to work alongside all of you. I genuinely couldn't have wished for a better team. Thank you for believing in this event and for helping me turn something I once only dreamed about into reality. I'm incredibly proud of what we built together. photo: @KonkolMichal
