Former coach for the 2019 Call of Duty World Champions eUnited team, Brice Faccento, has announced the formation of an eSports talent agency, Bad Moon Talent. The co-founder is Activision Blizzard eSports Senior Manager of Programming Andrew Drake. Early clients include Jordan “JKap” Kaplan, Ian “Enable” Wyatt, and Donovan “Temp” Laroda.
Faccento started his competitive career in 2012 and has since played for organizations like SoaR Gaming, Orbit Esports, Elevate, Rise Nation and Echo Fox. In April, he became a coach at eUnited, which placed second at 2019’s CWL London and fifth and sixth at CWL Anaheim. Then the team ended up winning the 2019 Call of Duty World League Championships.
“Throughout my tenure as an eSports professional, there has been a continual lack of proper representation for myself and my fellow colleagues,” Faccento says.
Future clients are also expected from eSports leagues like Overwatch and Fortnite.
Drake, armed with a degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, worked on the marketing side for Call of Duty with Activision. His work also included the content side for the Call of Duty World League and Overwatch League. He also has experience in talent management and negotiation after working in four eSports leagues.
