Naim Rosinski
A former ESL teacher with a Master’s degree in English Studies that found his drive in esports. Merging a passion for the craft of writing with a never-ending need to out-aim others in the game of VALORANT and Counter-Strike.
Naim began his esports-writing and reporting journey at DailyEsports (now Upcomer), where he was a contributor for CS:GO. More and more enamored with esports, he quickly received a chance to attend IEM Katowice 2019 as press and managed to interview Cath, Lekr0, FalleN, and jkaem, his first dive into covering an event on-site.
With the release of VALORANT, Naim saw potential in Riot Games’ take on a 5v5 competitive shooter and joined Run It Back as a writer. After 3 months, he got promoted to a Managing Editor, managing a team of contributors and held regular brainstorming meetings to get content pumping for 3 years straight. In that time he attended Masters Berlin 2021, as well as VALORANT Champions 2022 as press on-site press.
Now, Naim is a Content Manager & Editor at THESPIKE. He keeps tabs on news, features, and evergreen content production, as well as contributing himself from time to time.

about 1 year agoIf you don’t find Naim working, you can probably see him sitting in VALORANT Premier constantly being vocal and totally not bottom-fragging. He also sometimes casually flies to Spain to have a cerveza in Andalusia and speak some broken Spanish.
On a more serious note, Naim is yet to miss covering an international VALORANT LAN event (either on-site or off-site). With a very long streak going, his drive for esports thrives year-on-year as he plans on expanding his horizons by learning more about other esports down the line.
