Marshon Sanders aka MarshyIsG0D

Founder & Head of Strategic Partnerships

BIO:

Marshon (from North Chicago, IL) first emerged in the eSports scene when he began secretly competing in Major League Gaming Tournaments at just 11 years old! Fast forward to 2020, he was able to tap into his network reaching just over 30,000 to host his first celebrity gaming event. He began to notice a cultural shift surrounding eSports stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictive measures which changed the perspective on video games, streaming, and content creation. The concept of people spending hours per day gaming went from “nerdy” to trending within pop culture, marketable and profitable. This made sense why new eSports projections were set to top $1.8 billion in revenue by 2023 from the previous $650 million projection just 5 years prior. During this emergence phase, Marshon set out to assemble a team capable of leveraging its’ brand influence within the gaming industry to expand across all sectors; including but not limited to stream management, ad revenue generation, curating in-person & virtual events, securing lucrative sponsorship deals and more!
