Paul Chaloner

Chaloner started life as a commentator purely by chance, thanks to Yash, a good friend at ClanBase, asking him as a favour to cover some matches via shoutcast audio in 2002, whilst Redeye spoke halting English, that was about the limit of his shoutcasting ability. Once into it however, the people tuning in absolutely loved his coverage and Paul at last found something other than opiates and crisps that he could channel his passion and enthusiasm into, gaming commentary.

Chaloner also started the GGL World Rankings for duel players in esports in 2005 and makes sure nobody forgets it.

In early 2005, he joined up with Radio iTG and attended many events around the world as one of the top commentators of esports, including WCG 2005 and 2006, ESWC 2005 and 2006 and Quakecon in both 2005 and 2006 respectively. He has also commentated in places as far away as Singapore, Australia and China as well as multiple times in North America and all across Europe.

By 2006, Chaloner wanted to progress and worked on several TV shows, both in the United Kingdom, the United States, Denmark and Australia, eventually teaming up with Creative Artists for gaming TV shows. He also hosted and presented a rock concert (Fuse) in 2006 for Ubisoft and has worked with many of the major companies involved with esports such as Intel, nVidia, Shure, Ubisoft and EA.

In March 2007, he set up and formed QuadV with his long-time 'friend' and technical genius, Oliver "Insert Humorous Nickname Here" Aldridge.

In March 2014, he joined Gfinity as Head of Broadcasting.

In 2015, he helped host Dota 2s The International 2015, which had the largest prize pool in esports history at the time.

In 2016, Chaloner co-founded Code Red Esports, an Esports consultancy. He resigned from his position in 2020 for personal reasons.
