San Francisco Shock Contenders-laget viser frem sitt nye hjem

Esportorganisasjonen NRG Esports, som står bak Overwatch League-laget San Francisco Shock, og Events DC har avslørt et nytt treningshjem i Washington, DC, hvor laget skal holde hus mens Overwatch Contenders-ligaen finner sted.

Contenders-rosteren består av seks profesjonelle spillere som nå skal bo og jobbe sammen under samme tak, i forberedelse på deres første kamp i ligaen den 13. mars. Gjennom hele sesongen kommer de til å spille online-kamper en gang i uka i det nye treningshjemmet.

"Washington, DC is an innovative city with a flourishing creative economy that continues to position itself to attract new visitors, future residents and industries to bring new revenue to the city. While technology is shaping the future of entertainment, esports is just another opportunity for us to showcase DC. Through Events DC's esports initiative, the District remains committed to creating a hub for esports," sa 'Deputy Mayor' Brian Kenner.

"We are beyond thrilled that NRG has chosen the District of Columbia to locate a house for their Overwatch Contenders team. One of our priorities at Events DC over the last 18 months has been to create and execute an esports strategy to position Washington, DC as a leader in this important economic development and tourism space," sa Max Brown, styreleder ved Events DC. "We have done this through our ongoing sponsorship of NRG; our hosting of major esports events, and our brand building across the country. This move by NRG to locate a team here in the nation's capital is further evidence that our esports efforts continue to gain traction and show success."
