The "Greek Gaming Academy" was founded in February 2014 by Clever-Net's Head of Studies Dimitris Monachos and his partner Napoleon Georgoulopoulos, both gamers since their teenage years. It is the first Coaching-Skills Development Organization of Esports in Greece and one of the first in Europe.
The aim of the School is to support those who have chosen to translate their hobby into a profession with the prospect of advancement. It is to highlight talents and prepare them through a structured programme, with the aim of absorbing them into the Esports Professional Space.
However, the achievement is only possible with the conscious participation of each person concerned and the result can be spectacular.
The gamer for whom self-care and “moderation” are practices he follows in his daily life and whose education is an essential element for his development, has a good chance for a good career in the Esports industry.
