Michael Nalbandian is a Technical Director at Com2uS USA, where he oversees live broadcast operations for some of the most technically demanding esports productions in the industry โ including the PUBG Global Championship, PUBG NPL, Clash Royale League World Finals, and Summoners War Championship.
With over a decade inside high-pressure control rooms, Michael has developed a rare instinct for what works, what breaks, and how to build systems that never let you down on air. He doesn't just run productions โ he architects them from the ground up, from signal flow and hardware selection to real-time switching under the brightest lights in esports.
Outside of his full-time role, Michael is passionate about elevating the craft. He loves sharing hard-won knowledge with producers, broadcast engineers, and studio teams who want to level up โ whether that's advising on a new facility build, troubleshooting a workflow that's holding a production back, or simply talking shop with someone who's serious about doing it right.
A decade of broadcast production at the highest level means I've seen it all โ the setups that scale, the shortcuts that don't, and the decisions that make or break a show. Here's where that experience translates into value for you.
Full technical direction for competitive gaming broadcasts at the highest level. Arena shows, online leagues, championships โ zero downtime, maximum impact.
Design and construction of cutting-edge broadcast studios and control rooms โ from compact streaming setups to full-scale broadcast facilities with latest-gen technology.
Custom control room builds with professional routing, switching, monitoring, and full redundancy โ designed and wired to broadcast-grade standards from the ground up.
Technical direction for concerts, award shows, and large-scale live events. Multi-camera coordination, live switching, and real-time delivery to any platform.
Strategic advisory for organizations building or upgrading broadcast capabilities. Technology roadmaps, vendor evaluation, workflow design, and infrastructure planning.
Full hardware and software integration across complex broadcast environments. Troubleshooting, maintenance planning, and on-site support when it matters most.
Currently full-time at Com2uS USA, but always happy to share what I know. If you're building something, wrestling with a technical challenge, or just want a second opinion from someone who's been deep in the trenches โ reach out. Good conversations are always worth the time.
