WME | IMG has acquired Global Esports Management (GEM), the agency currently representing the likes of Christopher "MonteCristo" Mykkles, Choi "Bomber" Ji Sung, OnGameNet, and Cong "StrifeCro" Shu, as well as many other big names in esports. WME | IMG will incorporate GEM's expertise in the field of esports to provide management services to players, personalities, and organizations, according to the company's press release.


Daily Dot Link

WME I IMG represents some big musicians like Lady Gaga, Deadmau5 and actors from Hugh Jackman and Seth McFarlane. It's an interesting step for such a mainstream and large scale organization to pick up on e-sports.

Wow, that's huge. Let's hope this is a good thing for SC2. A big company like that might only be interested in the more popular games and not wanna bother with the smaller ones.

Who the hell is Hugh Jackson?

Maybe they will bother updating Leenock's page now >_< I have tweeted all of them and still so much wrong information about Leenock. It's like 1 paragraph of text how can you manage to fuck up three times.. I even did a paint picture clearly showing where the mistakes are

My amazing paint skills
