Mladen Jurić is one of the pioneers of the esports scene in the Balkans, having been active in the industry since 2008. As a co-founder of Relog Media, he played a key role in bringing some of the world’s biggest CS:GO tournaments — such as ESL, PGL, and BLAST — to regional audiences, with Relog Media holding exclusive broadcasting rights for these events. Since 2019, the company has also been actively organizing bootcamps that have hosted nearly all of the world’s top esports teams, establishing itself as one of the leading bootcamp facilities globally. With extensive experience and a presence at all major international tournaments, Jurić has positioned himself as one of the most influential figures in the development and professionalization of esports in this part of Europe. Before entering the world of esports, Jurić played football for over 15 years, and the competitive spirit he developed on the field naturally carried over into gaming. He spent several years competing semi-professionally before realizing that tournament organization and community development were his true calling — and where his greatest strengths lie.
