About me
Model Esports is a consultancy company founded by Michael O'Dell.
Michael worked for Crown Agents for 18 years straight from school where he had varied roles in the Philatelic Bureau. He was Key Account manager for many clients during this time.
A keen sportsman playing Cricket and Football until an ACL injury set him on his esports journey finding a new way to compete. Michael is known as “ODEE” in the esports world and has been part of the scene for 20 years, playing in several teams at the highest level in games such as Quake 3 and Battlefield 1942, representing his country on many occasions.
In 2003 ODEE founded Team Dignitas with the rest of his Battlefield 1942 team mates, who went on to be the best team in the world at that title.
The team expanded to other games and grew into one of the largest multi-gaming teams in the world. During his time with dignitas, ODEE managed 750+ players in multiple games and genres, with 114 World Champions.
In 2007 ODEE was head hunted by BskyB and DirectV to manage Birmingham Salvo a franchise in their Championship Gaming Series. Birmingham Salvo became World Champions in 2008 winning $500k.
In 2016 Team Dignitas was acquired by Harris Blitzer Sports Entertainment, owned by billionaires Josh Harris and David Blitzer.
ODEE left dignitas in 2019 and almost immediately joined ReKTGlobal as Chief Gaming Officer.
