HI-REZ STAFF PROFILE
Name: Dan McHugh
In-Game Name: HiRezDan
Twitter Handle: @HiRezDan
Position at Hi-Rez Studios: eSports Administration
How do you describe what you do to non-gamers?: Hah, this is a good one. I’ll usually
start off with the normal “Yeah, I act as a referee for online tournaments, doing writeups or blogs on what’s happening in the competitive scene, making sure the pro
gamers are getting paid, making sure we’re getting out quality content, acting as
a point of contact for the pros and their organizations and so on and so forth.” The
look of “I have no idea what I’m hearing,” I get from non-gamers compels me to sum
things up with something among the lines of, “I basically get paid I be a nerd.”
Best day of the week and why?: I honestly love this job so any day I have to be
in the studio is a good dy for me. I guess the why would be because eSports is
the next big thing and it’s exciting being a part of such a growing industry.
