Production & Broadcast Director | Lead Producer
Atlas is Wave OCE's jack of all trades - whether it's writing a rulebook, producing, casting, observing, or all of the above all at once, Atlas fills in the gaps wherever needed.
Casting and production has always been the primary focus for Atlas. He started casting Valorant for university and online community tournaments in 2023 and quickly moved on to casting Valorant Challengers League Oceania early 2024. During this time Atlas recognized a lack of broadcasting tools and support for grassroots OCE casters and created the now well known 'Val Community Caster Overlay' graphics system. Despite being his first programming project this overlay system is now being used by almost all community tournaments in Oceania, and has been one of many factors contributing to the increased community broadcast quality in OCE.
In 2025 Atlas joined forces with TJ and Merlin to create Wave OCE, continuing on his journey to empower and create opportunities for grassroots broadcast talent in Oceania.
Based in Auckland NZ, Atlas spends his time operating broadcasts for the University of Auckland and flying FPV drones. Despite spending more time watching Valorant than playing it, Atlas still occasionally jumps into Diamond-Ascendant queues to remind the region that he can still play the game just as well as he yaps about it!
