GG Legends Episode 1: Sheever

Celebrating the spirit of Good Game, the Gucci Gaming Academy spotlights the story of Jorien ‘Sheever’ van der Heijden’s rise as a broadcaster and how she overcame adversity. 

The premiere episode of GG legends follows how Jorien van der Heijden went from a young gamer in the Netherlands to one of the most respected esports broadcasters on the international scene. A pioneer for women in the gaming world, she shares how she defines her journey on her own terms rather than letting her obstacles do so. 

The next episodes of GG Legends will follow the stories of CS:GO player, Mathieu “Zywoo” Herbaut, the youngest ever player to receive an invite to the FACEIT Pro League at 16, as well as the Minnesota Lynx basketball star and Team Liquid Brand Ambassador Aerial Powers.  

The GG Legends mini docuseries is an extension of the ongoing partnership between Gucci and FACEIT, which is centred around creating supportive structures for young aspiring gamers and began with the Gucci Gaming Academy in 2022. With a focus on wellbeing, the program’s mission is to empower esports talent to go pro by providing full-time mentorship from coaches, mental health support, and world-class hardware.
