Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, a retired Esports pro-turned-YouTube star, who counts roughly 4 million subscribers across his two channels, has signed with top talent agency WME for representation in all areas. The Hollywood Reporter was first to report Haag’s signing.

. In addition to providing commentary at Esports events, Haag also appeared in the first season of the YouTube Red murder mystery Escape The Night.

In 2015, the agency partnered with Turner to launch ELEAGUE — a professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive league that airs on TBS. Other digital creators repped by WME include fellow gaming star Mark ‘Markiplier’ Fischbach, Jake Paul, and Meg DeAngelis.
