Playing competitive games and watching esports events are cool and exciting things to do, but participating in those kind of events as an organizer or a player is a thrilling, inspring and enlighting experience.
Co-Founder and President of Rubikarena, an esport association in charge of organizing electronic sport events in France.
I worked as a volunteer for more than a year at Lan Experience, one of the biggest esports organization in the north of France.
Born from the will to host esports events (video games tournaments, debates, conferences, etc.) in our school Supinfogame Rubika, Rubikarena was founded in August 2016. I was the president of this non-profit organization which I managed with three friends for nine months. It is now a committee attached to the university's student organization which continues to host esports events at Supinfogame.
To hold those tournaments was a great opportunity and experience that makes you realize how challenging and exhausting it can be to create exciting events that will remain engraved in the memories of all participants. But at the end, the results were definitely worth the effort.

Founded in 2003, LanExperience is a non-profit organization (french law of 1901) in charge of organizing esports tournaments in France. It has now evolved into a bigger structure that not only organizes esports event, but also helps companies invest into esports. Team Lanex is also part of Lan Experience and owns more than 70 players over 9 games.
From April 2017 to January 2019, I worked on multiple projects:
- I have been a League of Legends tournament administrator during the Valenciennes Game Arena 2017 (mananing schedules & scores, monitoring games and players behavior).
- I have put in place the Lanex Discord community server with bots and custom commands so users can personnalize their experience.
You do not make an "esport game". You design an original and thrilling competitive experience, just as much fun to play as entertaining to watch. But it is not just about the game, it is also about the community, and your ability to build a healthy competitive environment that makes each game exciting. Only available in french for the moment.
France Esports goal is to develop, promote and control the practice of electronic sports following the fundamental principles of Olympism such as equity and human fulfilment. As a member of the College of Players, I am taking part in discussions and actions of the organization.
