SK Gaming Enters the Esports Association NRW and ESBD
SK Gaming, together with Eintracht Spandau, has joined the German esports associations at state and national level on the 20th November.
As a Cologne-based company SK Gaming has submitted its application for membership to the NRW state association for esports which also grants a membership in the German Esports Association (ESBD). The executive boards of both associations have unanimously agreed.
As one of the most recognisable brands in esports, SK Gaming perfectly demonstrates what the industry has to offer in Germany. A pioneer of professional gaming, with 25 years of experience and brand security that also impresses on an international level, SK has a lasting impact on the ecosystem and are committed beyond their own role as a team.
SK Gaming and EINS are united in their endeavours to advance the German esports scene and break new ground in the process:
We have worked with great commitment on the Esport Vision 2030, which addresses a number of important topics. Now the words must be followed by deeds. Joining the esports associations is an important first step towards achieving these goals as a united industry.
Alexander T. Müller
Managing Director of SK Gaming
We are delighted that SK Gaming and EINS have joined our association structures. Both teams are high-profile players in esports and bring a wealth of industry experience and creative drive that will enrich our association’s work. SK Gaming and EINS will in particular support the political work as well as the further development of the content of the associations, which is incredibly valuable for everyone involved.

1st Vice President of the ESBD
