VP of Product, Blast
Nicolas Estrup has worked in esports since early 2000s and has spent nearly two decades working with esports content. He worked at an online gaming content channel as a self-taught host, as well as a producing and shooting editor. Later, Estrup focused on commercial productions, corporate content, sports, esports, and documentary work.
Estrup was headhunted as one of the first employees at RFRSH Entertainment, now Blast, where he was part of leading the conceptualisation and creation of Blast and its products. The global esports event circuit, Blast Pro Series, today known as Blast Premier, was followed by the creation of Blast Bounty Hunt in Dota2 and an entry into Valorant.
Today, Estrup oversees all of Blast’s output with a holistic, systematic, and revenue-driving approach to create emotion triggering do-not-miss experiences. He has been a driving force behind the company’s broadcast and show.
