Forevr also recognized the growing mobile esports industry and recruited from their ranks. Zhen “Zxuan” Xiong, commonly known as “ZX”, competes competitively in Mobile Legends as the No. 1 Fanny player. Located in Singapore, he’s one of the biggest mobile streamers in the world. Another mobile esports leader, Sherlin “SherlinTsu” Susanto professionally streams Mobile Legends and represents Genflix Aerowolf. Preferring the nickname “Baby Shark”, Sherlin worked in industries from modeling to cosplay to streaming.

Forevr in Esports

Starting off with such a powerful esports cast, the management agency opens eyes as other brands take notice. Forevr boasts a 360-degree approach, including a top-to-bottom strategy to take care of clients’ professional needs and branding. Their services include player management, partnership activations, press/marketing/social media management, business and legal management. In addition to client service, brand consultations are also offered.

“It’s clear to me there is huge growth potential for individuals within the space such as players, streamers and talents,” Frederik Byskov stated. “This is where Forevr comes in.”

It’s unsure where the future will take Forevr. But based on their launch and the clients secured before going public, the company holds a lot of potential.
