About Me

Hello. I’m Sam “Tech Girl” Wright, I mainly work in esports so you’ve likely seen me desk hosting Counter-Strike events. I was one of the hosts for the Blast TV Paris Major, I’ve worked as an interviewer for ESL Challenger and you’ve probably also seen me desk host and interview for various PUBG competitions. I’ve done a lot of esports stuff. I also host a podcast about gaming and Esports called Tech Girl Talks and sometimes I add things to this blog. I’ve got a bunch of social media accounts you can check out as well. So if you’re into gaming and esports you might enjoy the content you find here.

Yeah I said it. Day 1 of desk hosting the Perfect Yeah I said it. Day 1 of desk hosting the Perfect World Shanghai Major done! If you’re watching the tournament… are your pick’ems, like mine, already in shambles?
We bought a house! Chiö & Köji hang out with us We bought a house! Chiö & Köji hang out with us inside. We wanted them to have their own spaces that still suited the aesthetic of our home. We found these @rogzsouthafrica beds & mats … I cannot recommend them enough! The lounge flat mat (in L) is Chiö’s fav. It’s got a lot of cushioning and we’ve got two in brown to go in the bedroom and lounge (the covers come off and you can throw them in the washing machine - winning!). The walled bed was for Köji but apparently Chiö likes that too. Also super cushiony (even a word?😂). Love that the neutral colour range means these can go in any room & look good! Happy puppies. Happy home. 💙 #gifted #rogz #petfriendly #homedecor
This was me at the BLAST Paris Major last year. I This was me at the BLAST Paris Major last year. I was so incredibly nervous & remember sitting in the green room with mad imposter syndrome. That whole event is just a giant blur because the emotions were so extreme. Majors are the pinnacle of this game we love so much. For everyone involved. Being asked to be on the broadcast is, imo, the biggest honour & privilege. In less than 48 hours I fly out to be part of the Shanghai Major broadcast team. I can only hope I do the event, teams, my colleagues & fans justice. I’ll try my best. However, please be kind. It has come to my attention that I no longer own a single pair of socks which haven’t been chewed by my puppy. So if I’m not delivering as you’d expect, just remember that I’m likely dealing with my big toe poking through a hole in my sock most days 🤷🏻‍♀️ 📸 @ishootesport

My brain is struggling to comprehend how this little guy can outperform most of our gaming PCs. AND how much desk space you can save (I’m sorry but no PC should ever sit on a floor IMO).  ❔Anything in particular you’re curious about when it comes to the NUC? Ask in the comments and I’ll try answer them!  ⬇⬇ #Unboxing #ASUSROG #NUC970 #GamingPC #MiniPC #TechUnboxing #GamingSetup #TechInSouthAfrica #ROG
The best week working with the best people to brin The best week working with the best people to bring you the best Counter-Strike in the world. The Americas RMR for the Shanghai Major is wrapped. I get a week off before returning for the Major. @pglesports is handling the English broadcast and working with the crew in Romania has been such a breeze. I hope you’ve enjoyed the tournament so far.

Desk Host for the 2024 Perfect World Shanghai CS2 Desk Host for the 2024 Perfect World Shanghai CS2 Major. 🧨Under study to Richard Lewis - a host I’ve looked up to for years (and before this was even a “job” for me). 🚀Working alongside this incredibly stacked crew & with PGL for the first time. 🧨Being trusted to do the players & teams competing justice & tell their stories. This is probably the biggest job of my career. I’m scared, excited & so freaking hyped.
2 nominations for the South African Podcast Awards 2 nominations for the South African Podcast Awards! I’ve put a stack of energy into the various podcast series I’ve done over the years. It started with an esports series which was nominated for podcast of the year at the inaugural DSTV Content Creator Awards. At the beginning of the year I went all in on Counter-Strike content after being pushed by @thooorinofficial (who I’m VERY grateful to). Making the shows is the best part but it is nice to get a little bit of external validation sometimes too. A special shout out to all the people who help with these shows - the cohosts (Thorin, @bdogcs_ & @darfmiketalks), @letterabrand for all the design work & the guests who give up their time. A sassy little shoutout to all the ZA brands & agencies who ghosted my sponsorship proposals as well because the idea of niche podcasts flew over their head. Its not me, it’s you 😝 If you’ve taken the time to watch or listen to Feed The Trolls, CHALLENGED, Sell Me This Pro or any of the other series I’ve done on my channels. You’re rad. Thank you!! 🙏🏼
That’s a wrap on the ESL Challenger events for 2 That’s a wrap on the ESL Challenger events for 2024 for me and also marks my last event under representation. Moving forward I’m going to be handling all my business affairs myself. I’ve always had a little bit of imposter syndrome when it comes to negotiating contracts and handling the business side of things, but I believe the next step in my career requires me to be hands on & offer a direct line of comms for clients, sponsors & tournament organisers. So if you’d like to work with me as a Counter-Strike desk host, interviewer or content creator hit me up on editor@techgirl.co.za. 9/10 chance I’ll use the word rad in my very professional email replies 😄😝 📸 @olathedawg
