Connecting with our community is the right way! It’s really important to give you a peek “behind the curtain” and show you who are the people who work at our organization!
Starting with our General Secretary Boban Totovski, the problem solver and communication master!
Hi Boban! In order for our audience to get to know you better, tell us a few words about yourself.
Esports veteran for 16 years. I never competed professionally, but have always been in the ecosystem. I am still struggling between my manager side and gamer side, but with age comes wisdom so now I am managing in the gaming industry.
How long have you been part of IESF and how do you achieve success in your role?
Almost 2 years. It has been a true challenge with COVID-19 hitting the world right after the elections. On the other hand, it gave me proper time to learn the processes and adjust accordingly. I helped the organization grow and restructure and it is my ultimate goal to establish IESF as the unifying body for esports.
What do you love most about what you do?
The speed that everything is happening. It’s developing so fast, and what you know today, can easily become old news tomorrow. In my nature, I love challenges and this is a big one.
If you could write your own job title that best describes what you do here, what would it be?
Problem solver, maybe? There isn’t such a position invented, but it should be there 🙂
What’s one thing you’re really bad at?
I can’t say NO. I accept everything and try everything and still believe that everything is possible.
What’s one thing you’re really good at?
As the title says, solving problems. Quick thinking and fast adaptation to the situation.
What nickname do you prefer to be called?
Everyone here calls me Toto 🙂
Coffee or tea?
COFFEE
Favourite music.
I love Hard rock, Metallica is my favorite band.
Who inspires you?
That would be our president, Vlad. Ever since I met him in 2016 I knew our paths will cross again and that I will be able to learn from the best.
Would you rather be the funniest or smartest person in the room?
Funniest, 100%. We should all enjoy life as much as possible.
Let’s talk about Esports! What are your goals and how do you think Esports will grow and develop in the next few years?
My goals are to make the players more appreciated, all of them, not just the professionals. Majority of Esports players are underappreciated and I want to change that. Esports will be an official sport, we will see it on major events worldwide and hopefully one day at the Olympics.
What does Esports mean to you?
It’s my passion and I love it. I live, breathe and talk Esports 24/7. It’s my life!
