Writer and content creator. Esports and politics, mostly.
Intro
My name is Gijs Verhoeff, but I also like to go by napz. I usually don’t do well in writing bios, and this is no exception. I won’t bore you any longer and just give you the lowdown by showing you my work.

Work
I have been writing on and off since I was in high school. My big projects include tl;dr, SPIL, and freelance jobs for ESL and Dreamhack. I have mostly written, but have dabbled in video and audio work, and social media.
01
TL;DR is a twice-a-week newsletter helping you surf through the content tsunami that is the Counter-Strike scene. We keep it light, fun, but informative - and we try to keep it short as well.

ESL is the leading tournament organiser for Counter-Strike, operating out of many locations around the world. They organise tournaments at all levels of (semi-)professional play and are a household name in the scene.
DEBAT is a semi-scientific political science magazine originally founded in 1985. It is run by students of the Political Science Programme of Leiden University and is distributed (amongst others) to the members of the Political Science study association: SPIL.
SPIL is the study-association for Political Science Students of Leiden. Since 1981, its organised activities for students of political science like lectures, excursions, and trips abroad.
