"Gym" for e-sports
Swimmers train in swimming pools, athletes in stadiums, but where are e-athletes?
Esports is another name for video game competition. Not so long ago it was considered to be just an (unhealthy) hobby, but now... Now it is even possible to make a living from e-sports... and if you are good enough, you can also make a very good living. Winning tournaments can bring a player very serious money, and there are also more and more substantial sponsorship contracts, factory teams and something else that has been limited to "real" sports until now.
A building with the strange name "100 Thieves Cash App Compound" also says that e-sports are getting closer and closer to traditional ones in terms of organization. Opened last year, it is said to cost $50 million, and it is a 1,400 m2 large space in Los Angeles dedicated to "eSports training" and everything related to it - from clothing to production of eSports-themed shows. The name is rather unusual, but it is a combination of the brand names 100 Thieves and Cash App. The first is a gaming lifestyle brand and the owner of teams that compete in games such as Call of Duty, Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite Battle Royale, League of Legends, Valorantin and many others, while Cash App is a financial application, and its developers are the main sponsor or co-financer of the project.
In the building there are rooms dedicated to various games, and they bear names such as "Totino's Fortnite Training Room", "Rocket Mortgage League of Legends Training Room", the TV studio is where the show "The Courage and Nadeshot Show" is produced, there are also a whole bunch of studios where streaming content is produced, a canteen, a basketball court... The building was visited at the end of December by the owner of the videogamedunkey channel and the video below was made...
