This is the Team around
ANATY Productions

Johannes “Epsor” Meiners - Jonas “JNZ” Lenz - Kai-Uwe “kaizi99” Zimdars

In 2020 we established our startup ANATY Productions GbR aiming at revolutionizing the German Counter-Strike scene. With passion and commitment JNZ and Epsor began to cast and observe matches of German leagues while Kai took care of the production role. Together we have gained the experience to work in the world’s best esport productions. In conjunction with the UNITED Pro Series of winter 20/21 we were able to successfully present ourselves to the public for the first time outside our casts. Now we are working together with ESL, Blast and other TOs to bring our level of experience to national championships like ESL Meisterschaft and Valorant Challengers DACH and to S-Tier tournaments like the DOTA 2 Major Berlin or the Blast 2023 Paris CS:GO Major producing, observing or as EVS replay operators.

Johannes “Epsor” Meiners

Firstly, with his degree in linguistics but more importantly with his creativity, Johannes brought the perfect mixture for the origins of ANATY. Starting as a caster and designing all of the companies visuals, he nowadays is responsible for the vision and direction of ANATY.

During the broadcast Johannes is part of the ANATY observer team or works as a replay operator on vMix or EVS. Furthermore, he designs all graphic assets for every stream and CS:GO overlay.

Jonas “JNZ” Lenz

Growing up being a musician and joining Europe’s most prestigious film school in Potsdam to study sound-engineering, Jonas always was more of the creative type.

In ANATY Productions he found his way of expressing himself through observing matches. Due to extensive game-knowledge and a great overview of the game's flow, he is almost made for observing.

If you don’t catch him on the server, you will find him practicing saxophone nearby :)

Kai-Uwe “kaizi99” Zimdars

Starting as a computer science student at one of the best German universities, Kai was always interested in the production side of the best esport tournaments.

Since the beginning of ANATY he perfected producing broadcasts, engineered software to help him in this tasks and has become one of the best replay operators in the international esport scene. As ANATY’s CTO he is responsible for all technical issues.

DOMINIK “MANA” MAKUS

As a network technician student and software developer, he closely cooperates wit Kai and is helping us immensely with the realisation of each overlay. Furthermore he is part of our productioncrew, working on several shows as replay operator or producer.

Without his professional work, many of our projects wouldn’t be possible!
