Wow, We have great news from the USA where New York City-based Gaming company (CNN Business)100 Thieves has built the biggest gaming facility (esports facility) in the United States of America.
Located in Culver City, Los Angeles, the 15,000-square-foot compound may have an arcade and an outdoor basketball hoop, but it also has designated training rooms for playing video games professionally.
Should India have a gaming facility like the USA?
Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorseywas present for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Square’s Cash App is a sponsor of the building.
100 Thieves, which was founded in 2017, is best known for selling apparel and having famous “Fortnite” streamers and pro players who compete in games like “League of Legends” and “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.”
The new building has rooms dedicated to gaming facilities including a “Fortnite” room, a “League of Legends” room and a “CS:GO” room. The rooms are decked with gaming chairs that retail for hundreds of dollars each and PC gaming rigs.
The new building dubbed the “100 Thieves Cash App Compound” after its sponsor, is a warehouse that took about nine months to complete. Neighbours include Nike LA and Beats Electronics. Robinson said that the apparel shop will be open to the public a few times a year when 100 Thieves drops new clothes for purchase. It’s designed with an open-office layout so that passersby will be able to glimpse content creators’ workstations.
“From the stereotypes of having kids in their basements or how people are nerds to now seeing what [competitive gaming] has been building into and what it’s become, it’s an honour to take part in it. When everyone sees the big reveal today, they’ll really have their jaws drop,” Jack “CouRage” Dunlop, a popular Fortnite streamer with 100 Thieves, told a news agency.
The unveiling of the lavish, multimillion-dollar building reveals what the 100 Thieves were spending its large investment on when it declined to participate in the Call of Duty League, an expensive franchise that holds its first match this weekend.
Last August, CEO Matt Haag announced that 100 Thieves could not afford to participate in the league and “everyone in our entire company is upset.”
Should India have a gaming facility (Esports) like the USA?
Yes absolutely, We all gaming lover wants this type of gaming facility in India as well.
We can see that in India, we do not have any major gaming facilities like this but many gaming teams (esports teams) like GodLike, Soul, 8Bit, Hydra Gaming, and Global Esports have their own bootcamps. GodLike, Global Esports, and Soul have India’s biggest bootcamps for its players as well.
However, the Indian gaming community needs to create a major gaming facility place where any national player can get the best facilities. Agree??
