OG flourished under JMR Luna's creative vision
JMR Luna came from the film industry, where he was mostly involved in cinematography. Prior to assuming leadership in OG, JMR Luna worked as the Head of Content at Evil Geniuses and then the Vice President of Content and Production at Immortals Gaming Club.
His set of skills that are quite unique in the world of esports brought fans a number of successful projects.
