Kinguin, one of the world’s largest online marketplaces, today unveiled the Esports Performance Center (EPC), a premier esports bootcamp for professional gamers to master their craft. Based in the heart of central Europe, in dynamic Warsaw, this elite training facility will empower esports teams to reach their full potential and bring the best out of teams playing in Europe.
As one of the most advanced esports training centers in Europe, the Kinguin Esports Performance Center spans 21,000 square feet and boasts four training rooms (two with analyst capabilities), a conference room, 21 players’ rooms to house 26 players, two kitchens, a players’ lounge, gym, dining room, and chill-out zone. The Kinguin Esports Performance Center provides comprehensive solutions for teams looking for the ultimate location to hone their abilities.
Viktor Wanli, Founder and CEO of Kinguin commented, “Kinguin’s vision has always been to create an ecosystem built around esports and gaming. Opening the doors of The Esports Performance Center is another value add for the ecosystem as a whole, this time for professional gamers to maximise their potential and elevate the European esports ecosystem to a world-class level. The facility comes right in time to further strengthen the burgeoning Polish esports market which already has an audience of over 2.8 million regular esports spectators.”
The high-end esports training facility is also designed to host industry events while providing simultaneous bootcamps for multiple teams. The center will also provide a professional chef, sports psychologist, trained physiotherapists, and a dedicated concierge service for access to full-time support during bootcamps. At the end of the day, players can take a break from the screen and share a drink at the bar or blow off steam at the gym.
Renegades, a professional Counter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team from Australia, were the first team to benefit from the Esports Performance Center. After holding a bootcamp at the EPC prior to IEM Katowice they went on to reach the quarterfinals finishing 5-8th overall.
“The Esports Performance center sets a precedent for how professional teams operate by replicating a competitive environment where players can focus entirely on their game without any of the distractions a traditional bootcamp would have” said Renegades Manager Chris Orfanellis. “Our time at the training facility paid off immensely as Renegades went on to make the legends stage for the first time in the organization’s history.”
