Charlie Morris currently works as an Account Manager at Next Generation Esports (NGE), an Esports production company based in LA. NGE is responsible for some of the largest moments in Esports history including the Fortnite World Cup, Fortnite Star Wars crossover event with JJ Abrams, and a virtual concert by Marshmello inside the Fortnite world. Recently, NGE also produced the Twitch Stream Aid event, a 12-hour charity stream on Twitch featuring competitive Esports across numerous games and performances from some of the biggest names in music. The event raised more than $2.7 million for Solidarity Response Fund for Covid-19, powered by the United Nations Foundation.

Charlie is also the lead account manager for Riot Games (League of Legends/Teamfight Tactics), Psyonix (Rocket League Championship Series), and has previously worked on the Boardlands 3 launch event, Twitch Rivals, and many more. In the past 6 months, Charlie has worked closely with Riot Games to debut their newest game (TFT) and helped produce the first ever Teamfight Tactics Show Case to help shape a budding Esport.

Charlie's love for gaming and Esports began at an early age when he became a professional Starcraft II player at 17, but quickly transitioned his talent into a SC2 coaching business with clients across North America and Europe. This became one of his many Esports entrepreneurial endeavors that led him to his career in Esports today.
