Dear CEA Community,
Today marks an important moment in the journey of the Corporate Esports Association. We want to share some personal news from two individuals who have helped shape the CEA into what it is today.
Brad Tenenholtz:
Dear CEA Community,
Today, I am stepping away from the CEA. I leave so proud of all we have accomplished — starting innumerable careers, bringing people together personally and professionally, and, of course, donating almost half a million dollars to charity spread over dozens of worthy causes. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for giving myself and others the opportunity of a lifetime.
My adult life has been defined by Corporate Esports. It has been the source and sink of my passion, generosity, personal identity, and connection with the games and people that I love. But as my life moves on, I’m no longer able to give the CEA the care it needs. My wife and I are happy and healthy, and this change isn’t something to worry about.
This gives me the opportunity to make the CEA somebody else’s source of inspiration. Today, I am handing the reins to @CEA | Florian “Oroga” Helff, who has a big, achievable mission for where the CEA can go. I am so excited to see where he takes it, and I hope you stick around to see how much greater it can become.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you,
Brad
Florian Helff:
Dear CEA Community,
I can’t even express the gratitude I have for Brad, who over the years has shaped and formed not only the CEA into what it is today but also influenced so many players, game leads, and staff along the way. I personally went through the ranks of the CEA myself — as a player, team captain, game lead, and most recently managing some of the non-championship operations. Through it all, I was always able to count on Brad, who gladly shared his expertise, guidance, and encouragement.
These are big shoes to fill, but I’m incredibly honored and excited for the road ahead. The foundation Brad built is strong, and I’m committed to continuing the mission of growing this amazing community, fostering meaningful connections, and making a positive impact through gaming.
Let’s build the next great chapter of the CEA — together.
Florian
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the CEA. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.
