Most pros in esports don't realize how much an effective agency can help.
I agree with the core of it - players losing out because of agents who don’t do their job is bad.
But I don’t think the answer is just using a legal advisors once a contract shows up. By then, the best part of the process has already passed. A good agent doesn’t just react, they create opportunities.
He helps start conversations with orgs that might not even be recruiting yet. They figure out what teams are planning, who’s being benched, who’s unhappy, what windows are opening. That work starts long before there’s a deal on the table.
If you just wait for offers to come to you, you’re at the mercy of timing, luck, and your current exposure. A proper agent flips that. They help shape what your next move looks like - instead of just reviewing what someone else decides to offer you.
And yes, 100% - the player should always know what’s happening and be the one making the final call. That part’s non-negotiable.

Funny how this wasn't an issue half a year ago (@BLASTPremier Fall Final), when you were on stage in the very same arena with @Cloud9 played, mr. @engelschmidt 👐
