Prodigy Agency, a leading esports representation agency, has appointed Adrian “Hatchy” Widera, former coach in regional leagues and more recently Sports Director at Misfits Gaming in LEC and LFL, to the role of LoL Agent to expand its initiative to protect and support the players on the game.
Prodigy Agency, founded by industry leader Jérôme Coupez, represents some of the biggest stars in esports such as Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut and Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella (CSGO), Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom and Tyson “TenZ” Ngo (VALORANT), Kacper “Inspired” Sloma and Rayan “General Sniper” Shoura (League of Legends), Alexandre “Kaydop” Courant and Axel “Vatira Touret (Rocket League), and Alexandre “Andilex” Christophe (Fortnite).
Prodigy Agency is already representing world-class LoL players such as Kacper “Inspired” Słoma (MVP LEC and LCS), Finn “Finn” Wiestål (LEC) and more, but also young and promising prodigies like Doğukan “113” Balci (LEC) or Shane “Kenvi” Espinoza (LCS), and intend to keep developing its support to this ecosystem.
Prior to joining Prodigy Agency, as a prominent figure in League of Legends, Adrian Widera served as a Sports Director for Misfits, spearheading their LEC and LFL operations. He was also deeply involved in the LoL ecosystem and development, being a coach from 2014 to 2021 in Poland, France and Turkey, and having created multiple Scouting Grounds and Academy projects that helped future top tier players get attention and spotlight.
With such an extensive experience and knowledge of the game; being known for promoting and recruiting young players to the starting rosters of the team, and for having amazing talents to scout future prodigies, Adrian is a perfect profile to understand the needs and to support the League of Legends’ players from all angles.
Using the constantly growing global resources of Prodigy Agency and joining a team of more than 35 collaborators around the world, he will be working on expanding its LoL operations and #PlayersFirst mindset all over Europe, with a focus on scouting and developing the prodigies of tomorrow.

“Adrian has the perfect profile and skill set to become a prominent Agent and expand our initiatives on League Of Legends.
He has a massive experience and truly cares for the players as much as we all do at Prodigy Agency.
He will perfectly complement our current LoL department and allows us to develop more initiatives by pushing our Players First values forward.
I’m really proud that Adrian chose to join our family and I’m confident that we are building the absolute best team possible to protect and support the players!» -Jérôme Coupez, Founder & CEO – Prodigy Agency.
“After a successful time in Misfits as a Sports Director, I’ve been looking into other ways of helping and promoting players and coaches – this is what always gave me the most satisfaction in my competitive career. In my teams we often gave chances to young players, we ran academies and scouting grounds. And I know how difficult it is to get started without proper help or guidance when you’re still a very young player.
I want to take that experience from competitive League of Legends and make the best use of it for the sake of the players. Prodigy Agency was the best place to do so, with their motto of always putting the players first. Here we can count on a large amount of top-quality people who can help the talent not only with their professional career choices, but also marketing and day to day struggles.
If we can take some of the burdens that the players have to carry, we will allow them to focus more on performing and worry mostly about what is happening on the Rift. This is my goal, to be there for these young athletes’ day to day, to be someone they can always reach out to and talk to. And there was no better place to do it than the Prodigy Agency, with the largest number of experts on the market, ready to be there for the players every day.
Lastly, it is very important for me to continue looking for new talent, people who yet did not get a chance to shine on a professional vision. I am extremely happy that Prodigy Agency shares my views in that aspect, so you should expect us to come up with new projects to help the players get the spotlight and chance they have been waiting for!”
