Becky Kralle grew up in Runnemede, N.J. playing sports and rooting for Philly teams, never imagining she’d end up pursuing a very different kind of career in sports in Los Angeles.
“What I say to everyone is I accidentally fell into eSports,” Kralle said in a recent phone interview.
As the story goes, Kralle was working as a production assistant in TV and film in 2018 when a friend called up to say they needed a production assistant last minute to help at a Hearthstone Tournament.
Her first taste of working behind the scenes in eSports was such an enjoyable experience, she took a job at another tournament and another after that.
