“As someone who has always worked closely with LCS and Academy players, Prodigy’s motto of “Players first” really resonated with me. I’ve seen my fair share of tragic esports situations and while I’ve always done my best to help players out where I can, joining Prodigy gives me the ability to make a bigger impact. Prodigy is an agency that I can proudly represent – the work ethic and amount of effort and care that goes towards players is unparalleled. I know that players will be taken care of and they can focus on competing at the highest level while we’ve got them covered everywhere else.”

“I feel honored to be joining Prodigy Agency. It was clear from my first meeting with Jerome that the Agency defines themselves by the wellbeing and support they provide their players. My primary goal as FPS Coordinator for North America is to help manage Prodigy’s expansion in the region, specifically in Valorant and CS:GO. I will be principally focused on improving regulations and standards in the region with regards to contract security, employee benefits, mental health practices, etc.
Above all, I want the #PlayersFirst mindset to flourish as our industry grows. Since the outset of my journey in esports helping protect and develop players has been my underlying objective. Jerome and Prodigy are giving me access to invaluable resources that will allow me to work with a wide breadth of talent. ”

Wong will lead BASILISK’s entry into the FGC by recruiting players, developing community events, and creating FGC – science crossover content.
“Justin isn’t just a competitive genius – he is a cultural icon and humble leader within the FGC. We are incredibly proud to have him leading our FGC division and support the amazing work he already does for the community,” said BASILISK co-founder Christopher Bothur.
A nine-time Evolution Championship Series (Evo) Champion and Guinness World Record holder, Wong brings unparalleled FGC credibility and expertise to BASILISK. His reach extends across the entire FGC fandom of millions, and he was immortalized in Evo Moment #37 which has over 100 million views.
As Captain of BASILISK FGC, Wong will leverage BASILISK’s data analytics to scout and train the next generation of FGC pros.
“Math is super important to fighting games. I’m excited to join science’s esports team. I’m passionate about finding promising players with a positive mentality and shaping them into the next big thing. I want to see somebody else in the spotlight after me and help them reach their potential. If we can discover the next world champion, that would be fantastic,” said Wong upon joining BASILISK.
The signing comes on the heels of BASILISK’s new partnerships with The Planetary Society and Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), announced in July. These collaborations create a powerful bridge between renowned scientific institutions and gamers, which Wong will amplify to his millions of followers and fans.
“Justin is a dream addition to our organization. He exemplifies the dedication and analytical capacity required to be an esports champion or great scientist,” added BASILISK co-founder Hans Kassier.
Wong becomes the second “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) to join BASILISK, alongside Finnish StarCraft 2 legend Joona “Serral” Sotala, who just captured the SC2 Esports World Cup Championship in July 2025. The signing also creates opportunities for cross-over content with BASILISK’s diverse roster, including chess Grandmaster Vincent Keymer and award-winning science communicator Kyle Hill, who brings over 2.5 million followers and a vast network of science enthusiasts to the organization.
