History
Founded by a group of friends with a passion for esports and gaming in 2019, Wave Esports began with a mission to provide a launchpad for talented young gamers and creators. Our dedication quickly paid off, achieving early success in popular titles such as Brawl Stars and Fortnite.
Our first major public breakthrough came with one of our initial talents, JannisZ. Since then, our Academy program has introduced many well known names to the scene, such as Vadeal, Vico, Gripey, and more.
Wave Esports has also proudly been home to numerous successful gamers and streamers across other titles, including Valorant, League of Legends, Counter-Strike, and Brawl Stars.
In recent years, we have also expanded our presence in the creator sphere, building a significant following on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Our commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a vibrant community remains at the core of everything we do.
