This week we've got the pleasure of hosting the current Vice President of Erasmus Esports Charlotte Van Deuzen, as well as former President of Erasmus Esports Jan Smeets. Both Charlotte and Jan have been a part of the organization almost since it began and have formed an integral part of multiple Erasmus Esports boards since. Erasmus Esports is an esports organization at Erasmus University for both casual and competitive gamers. Today Charlotte and Jan join us to talk about Erasmus Esports and what their experience has been like within it. Furthermore, we also touch on the esports climate in Rotterdam and Erasmus Esports' role in promoting gaming and esports in the city.
