AHEAD OF THE GAME

Be inspired to shatter your self-limiting beliefs and dare to pursue your life’s greatest achievements by the story of Delane Parnell, the unlikeliest of CEOs now leading a gaming empire at the center of the booming, multimillion-dollar Esports industry. Delane Parnell is not your typical tech entrepreneur. The 27-year-old was raised in the gangriddled Detroit neighborhood known as 7 Mile & Burgess. This makes it all the more astonishing that Delane is founder and CEO of PlayVS, a 100- person company that is forever changing the gaming landscape in America. In April 2018, Esports (playing video games competitively) was added to the official list of sanctioned high school sports, and Parnell’s $400 million company is providing the infrastructure that hosts, compiles the statistics, and streams the matches, playoff tournaments, and state championships.
