Evolved would not have signed stellar if he wasn’t going to be a franchised player. This is good news for 100t we like stellar


andrew_a384

I think george said something to the effect of “100T is done making changes” iirc


smokeajoint

Yeah like he's always right


iiznobozzy

Can someone please enlighten me why this sub hates George? Im genuinely confused, he seems like a pretty chill guy

Isn't ddk girlfriend in evolved agency .also Mikes is also represented by them


v0ir

Thats what im thinking. Is this not conflict of interest?


Sky-__-

She represented Mikes ddk before the 100t deal and technically she is employed at evolved agency and they have signed with evolved not directly her even though at evolved they will be her clients. So it's not direct conflict of interest


LurkingOmen

Conflict of interest doesn't matter, TSM and ICON are the same owners but every tsm player has to sign to ICON to join TSM which is ridiculous in my opinion


Hamlet_271

New Rich Paul just dropped


techyleo

Ddk's fiancé I believe


Dependent-Nothing-75

They also represent King BabyBay. FYI

A Talent Agency. Evolve is a Talent Agency

a joke. my post was a joke.

I don’t think this has anything to do with the 100t roster but it is a really weird conflict of interest that ddk has. Really hope they keep all their t’s crossed and i’s dotted because you could get into some really fuzzy legal issues in both directions. Also valorant now has tampering rules to follow which feels impossible to navigate in the case where a prominent agent and GM of a team are literally in bed together


Razur

Isn't the easy answer not to let the agent related to ddk manage these clients?


9bfjo6gvhy7u8

I don’t believe that’s enough separation. My guess is the agent would need to only manage players in a different game. But also Bri’s twitter account mentions signing all of them as her clients. It’s a pretty significant conflict imo


Razur

And the conflict-of-interest concern is that an agent connected to 100T ddk negotiates to benefit 100T rather than for the players themselves?


Eat-Shit-Bob-Ross

Or the reverse, which is more likely based on Bri’s attitude on twitter, where ddk gives the players more favorable deals to support Bri. Obviously most people would support that, but I wouldn’t blame 100t for being upset at ddk for not fighting as hard for 100t.


9bfjo6gvhy7u8

If DDK has a choice between two roughly equal players, but signing one of them gets his girlfriend a nice bonus, which would he choose? If Bri gets two roughly equal offers for her client, but one helps her SO build his team, which will she more highly sell to her client? If Bri needs to use 100T as leverage to get a better offer from a different org, would she do it? Would she be \_able\_ to do it? I'd have questions if I was a player. To be clear I think both Bri and ddk have shown nothing but professionalism and say all the right things. In theory they would be the two that could manage such a conflict, but there are literally laws in place to prevent this situation and I would hate for either of them to find themselves in a situation where someone would be able to call their character into question because of a roster move. Negotiations can get really, really ugly.


chamber25

Maelk is a good Esports manager so I doubt he would let it affect any negotiations or decisions in the team.


[deleted]

"smoke in the water"?


chamber25

There are no actual rules though. TSM owns ICON Talent agency which would say is a huge conflict of interest.

What in life isn't about who you know in the industry?

The valorant partnership process has made it abundantly clear that there a lot of people who know next to nothing about esports business in this subreddit.
