“I’m going to be the Head of Chess…

What that means is helping build the roster to obviously be competitive in esports, but also put out good content, whether it’s short or long form, and combining chess and STEM for any project that we can think of.

Players play, they try to win trophies, and so on. I will not be playing. I know what my role is, I will spread their games and their successes to the masses. I’m looking forward to working with them.”

Rozman will work with Grandmasters Anish Giri and Vincent Keymer. Levy signed his first official contract with an esports organization.

BASILISK is an international gaming organization, founded in 2020. The organization is owned by entrepreneurs Christopher Bothur and Hans Kassier. Basilisk is known for their rosters in StarCraft 2, Magic: The Gathering, and Chess.
