Welcome Gokiburi: New WoW Esports Manager

Welcome Gokiburi: New WoW Esports Manager

United Kingdom - May 14, 2019 - Method is announcing a new addition to our staff, as our fast-growing World of Warcraft esports teams get a new manager. Robby Rautenberg is a veteran of the game, having played since Vanilla, and he'll be using his experience of the game as well his management skills (having steered Aztech’s ANZ HGC team to a top 3 finish in the region), to handle all WoW Esports teams.

He's played his Warrior for over 15 years now, just like to our co-founder and guild master Scott "Sco" McMillan, so there must be something special about Warriors and leading/managing a team.

Robby "Gokiburi" Rautenberg

I'm incredibly excited to be joining forces with Method. With their world-renowned players, and my drive for success, I plan to help bring Method to new heights. 2019 is going to be an amazing year, and I can't wait to share it all with you.

Shanna Sarr, Method General Manager

It's not much of a secret that WoW esports is a huge passion for me and has been at the center of my work with Method for almost four years. I am thrilled to be given the chance to transition the every day management of our WoW esports professionals to Robby. With his experience in the HGC and passion for Blizzard esports, I know that he will bring the commitment to progress and excellence that we are looking for in our team managers. Our WoW esports teams are in good hands!
