Donkey Gives Advice Regarding Esports Player Protection

GAMEFINITY.ID, Salatiga – The development of esports in Indonesia is currently booming. A career in Esports that was initially considered an “unusual” career has now started to become a mainstream career field.

In order to maintain the development of the esports industry in Indonesia, protection for esports players must also be considered so that there are no cases of mistreatment by esports organizations against their players. At the same time maintaining public interest in becoming an esports player.

One of the Indonesian Esports figures who spoke about the protection of Esports players was Donkey. Donkey, who is a veteran of Esports Mobile Legends, is starting to worry about the lack of protection for esports players in Indonesia.

Through his Instagram account, Donkey voiced his criticisms and suggestions regarding the protection of esports players in Indonesia. Donkey also suggested that Indonesia should present a Super Agent for Indonesian esports players.

“And to be honest, in Indonesia, the rights of esports players are not really protected. Because there is no Super Agent like in Football that exists to protect these players”.

“I’m just defending the rights of players. Later, when we make management, I want to make sure the contract, the articles will not burden the player. And they have the right to choose to continue with us or move to another team/management if the contract expires. That’s what I want to fight for and prove.”

“We are human and we have to treat others as human beings, not our slaves. They are also human beings who have the right to choose and develop.” Donkey said through his Insta Story.

Talent Management Agency for Esports

Donkey’s suggestion regarding Super Agent or Talent Management Agency is indeed very reasonable. Most Pro players don’t understand about fair agreement and contracts. The presence of Super Agents is indeed very useful to protect players from harmful contracts.

The agent’s job is to represent players when negotiating contracts with organizations. Agents can check whether the contract from the organization matches what the player wants and does not harm the player at all.

Super Agent or Talent Management Agency for Esports has been around for a long time outside Indonesia. Overseas Super Agents not only protect players, but also streamers and content creators.

One of the biggest Super Agents, Evolved, has collaborated with various big names in the field of Esports, both players and streamers. Some of the players and streamers that work with Evolved are xqc, Aui_2000, Daltoosh and Elevate.

Looking at that, we hope that Donkey and other parties involved in the Indonesian esports sector can present an esports super agent in Indonesia. The presence of Super Agent Esports is believed to not only protect Pro players, but also to develop the Esports industry in Indonesia.
