The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) has launched the Certified Talent Agents Program designed to recognise organisations representing talent within the esports, gaming and entertainment industries.
Talent agencies SEG Esports and Prodigy Agency have become the foundation members of the initiative.
ESIC reveals that the initiative has been developed in collaboration with ‘over 15 global agencies’ to identify challenges within the sector. The introduction of the framework sets a standard for agents and agencies representing esports players.
The programme includes an evaluation process which involves financial due diligence and criminal history checks.
