FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shay Kahari's Decade of Dedication is Fueling Community-Driven Esports Success ๐Ÿ†๐ŸŽฎ


LANSING, MI โ€“ Shay Kahari, a visionary founder with a background in game theory and corporate analysis, is being celebrated for his decade-long commitment and direct contributions to the gaming community. Unlike many eSports founders who emerge from professional gaming, Shay's foundation is built on rigorous business acumen and a deep understanding of corporate systems. This unique approach has not only inspired great players to succeed in the industry, but has also established a sustainable model for the regional video game market's economic growth.


His journey began with a key observation: people will relentlessly pursue and pay for what they are obsessed with. This realization led to a five-year, self-funded project where he invested over $100,000 of his own capital into creating a grassroots empire in Michigan and the Midwest. This effort included establishing six year-round eSports training facilities for grade-school gamers and hosting numerous competitive tournaments. Through this, he has already secured a monopoly on local gamer attention, building a loyal and leveraged audience from the ground up.


Shay's leadership and coaching have led to remarkable victories. In his first year of coaching eSports, he guided his team to qualify for the playoffs. The following year, in the spring of 2025, that same team of players went on to win the first regional championship of its kind at the University of Olivet's Blockhouse Arena in the Capital Area eSports Cup (CAEC). The same cup he single-handedly launched, which has since become an annual event for greater Lansing high school esports to compete in and earn the bragging rights to. This new competitive platform is now driving local community engagement and local rivalries!


His impact extends beyond competition. Shay has consulted for countless video game businesses on developing community-driven and sustainable revenue models. He has an unmatched ability to cultivate and leverage relationships with key stakeholders, including school districts, universities, politicians, public organizations like chambers of commerce, leading nonprofits, and community leaders. This is in addition to his robust network within the gaming industry itself.


While many prominent eSports organizations have struggled with financial stability, built on brand hype rather than sound principles, Shay's strategic approach prioritizes tangible assets and quantifiable revenue streams. This provides a stable and credible foundation for long-term growth and investor confidence, positioning his franchise to avoid the financial volatility that has plagued others. Shay Kahari has spent more time, money, and energy building an authentic foundation in the real world than anyone else in the gaming industry. Following his 6-figure investment in nurturing the foundation he's now built over the years, he asks for his communityโ€™s support as he fundraises the outside capital needed to bring his full vision to life, this foundation will compound into even more regional, national, and global success.


Readers are invited to join the GLU Tech Festival on October 25th, from 11 am - 5 pm, to witness a glimpse of what's in store for the community at large.
