ESPORTS INSIDER — Turnkey esports provider Skillshot Media announced plans to create an esports gaming hub at Uptown Atlanta, a 47-acre mixed-use community being redeveloped by Rubenstein Partners.
Per a release, Skillshot will relocate its Alpharetta office and production studios to Uptown and partner with Rubenstein to establish Atlanta’s ‘new go-to destination’ for esports events. Skillshot’s new space will also provide classroom and training space for local students.
HyperX was named the official peripheral partner of Skillshot at Uptown. As part of the collaboration, HyperX will outfit Skillshot with a range of products, including headsets, keyboards, mice and microphones.
Skillshot will collaborate with Rubenstein to utilise a 35,000-square-foot office atrium to become ‘Atlanta’s premier venue for esports events’. The atrium will be outfitted to host approximately 300-400 gamers for in-person events and feature a ‘massive’ LED screen with new digital infrastructure to support live streaming.[MORE]
