Top 10 10 Dedicated Esports Arenas on the planet 2021Posted by Berg Pike on May 28th, 2021 In 2020 there were a stunning 435.9 million viewers of Esports worldwide. Currently, most of the major Esports tournaments are held in preexisting venues, including the Barclays center, Copper Box or Climate Pledge Arena. As the sport gets ever more popular, the demand for dedicated Esports arenas is only going to increase. But as of there are already a ton of dedicated Esports Arena?s worldwide, so we?ve broken down the most notable 10 dedicated Esports Arenas on earth. 10. LOL Park ? Seoul, USA ? 400 Seats For number 10 inside our list, we head to South Korea, the kings of League of Legends. And so it appears appropriate that the LOL Park should have a home in Seoul, South Korea. LOL Park may only have a capacity of 300, but it has probably the most innovative arena designs. All 300 seats come in a circle facing the central dedicated League of Legends stage, primed for 10 players to battle it out in 5 v 5 competition.

California, USA ? 500 Seats Back in my day, the amount of players in Esports matches were either 1 v 1, 2 v 2 or 5 v 5. But nowadays, with the introduction of the Battle Royale genre, some Esports competitions can have up to 100 players. Such a large amount of players requires an equally large-sized stage to host them all, and this is where the OGN Super Arena will come in. Together with allowing 500 spectators in, the OGN Super Arena has room for 100 competitors. This arena is ideal for games like PUBG, Fortnite or Call of Duty Blackout.

Texas, USA ? 500 Seats Back in 2012, GAMING SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL was a fantasy show in regards to a High School where all the kids did was play video gaming. But now, fast forward to 2021, also it doesn?t seem like such a fantasy, as Universities around the world have Esports teams and provide degrees in Esports. And so next we come to the Full Sail University who have built state of the art Esports Arena capable of hosting 500 people, though they might probably squeeze a lot more chairs in if they needed to. This very cool studio/arena includes a central stage which can be set up in a range of ways for a number of different games and is absolve to all the university students who wish to either play or produce Esports events.
