HOSTS

Melek "m3lly" Balgün

Moderator, journalist, host, influencer

Melek Balgün unites hands-on experience with an academic background, and has wide-ranging knowledge and interests. The former pro player started her gaming career at the Electronic Sports World Cup 2007, but it was as a moderator that she discovered her passion for eSports, one she has remained true to to the present day. Balgün began her career as a moderator at ESL. In this role, she interfaced with the public, both live and online, for more than four years. In addition to working as a self-employed moderator at events, tradeshows, and conferences, she was also involved in Deutsche Welle’s eSports project as a sports journalist for more than three years. In 2018, she and her team were nominated for the Grimme-Preis, a German television award, for her web magazine “Art of Gaming” on the Franco-German TV channel arte. She was also awarded the German sports journalist prize in silver for her work and was honored this year as the ‘Best eSports writer or journalist’ at Women in Games.

Anna Kraft

Former German national sprint/relay champion

Anna Kraft – the fastest moderator on German television. The former German national sprint/relay champion became known to a broader public for the first time in 2010 when she began working for the football program “ran” on German television channel Sat1. She followed that up with several long-lasting stints as a moderator on TV channels such as Sky Deutschland, ZDF, and Eurosport. As well as pursuing a career in TV, she is a writer. In August, she announced publicly that she is battling MS. Anna has made it her goal to demystify this illness and wants to inspire courage in others suffering from it. She was born in Haan and grew up in Leverkusen. In 2010, she completed her degree in sports science at the German Sport University Cologne. She is in a relationship with football commentator Wolf-Christoph Fuss. The couple have two children and live in Munich.

Riccardo Basile

Talk-show guru

Riccardo Basile is the new sport guru of the talk-show scene. In his younger days, he cheered on footballers like Lothar Matthäus and Didi Hamann from the sidelines; today, they are not just his work colleagues, but also good friends. It was a mix of luck and pluck that got him to TV channel Sky. When one of his friends had to cancel, he was able to attend a panel discussion between Marcel Reif and Uli Hoeneß. After the show, he remained in contact with Marcel Reif and garnered an internship at Sky, where he now works as a field reporter. He has his own YouTube channel, which has notched up several million clicks. (“Meine Geschichte” [My Story]) In it, he visits sporting legends like Dennis Schröder and Rainer Calmund in their homes and chats with them about their paths to success and the world of sport.
