The eSports company is continuing with its plans to expand a chain of 500 networked venues across the U.S.
The new Belong Gaming Arena as opened to the public in an outdoor shopping mall in Schaumberg called Streets of Woodfield. This is the eSports and technology company’s first location in the state of Illinois, which will also be home to the Schaumburg Foxes eSports team.
As with the other Belong venues, this new Chicago venue is designed to be safe and accessible where gamers can play, watch and compete along with friends and family. Guests will be able to play leading titles on state-of-the-art equipment, thanks to collaboration with such companies as PlayStation, OMEN by HP, ViewSonic and Mavix.
Martyn Gibbs, CEO, Belong Gaming Arenas, says: “Following more than a year of isolation, people are craving interactive and shared gaming experiences, where they can come together to celebrate a shared love of gaming and its culture. Belong will play a key role in the next evolution of gaming by deeply integrating within local communities whilst also connecting people from around the world digitally.”
