Rowan Stroo, Division Director of SEG Esports, will join the management team.“This merger unites two powerhouses in sports and gaming,” said Coupez in a press release. “Together, we will better serve and support our family of players, creators, athletes, and partners, and lay the foundation to grow into one of the world’s leading agencies at the intersection of sports and gaming.”

Prodigy Agency has grown quickly since launching in 2018.

SEG already has some experience in esports, having represented talents like fighting game community standout Dominique ‘SonicFox’ McLean and Leandro ‘Virtyy’ Moreno over the past eight years. In addition to gaming, SEG manages more than a thousand clients across various sports and entertainment fields, including high-profile soccer figures such as Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Liverpool FC player Cody Gakpo.By joining forces, the two agencies aim to meet the changing needs of talent in an industry where esports and traditional sports increasingly overlap through sponsorships, media deals, content opportunities, and cross-industry partnerships.
