This new LA facility mirrors the seven-story one that opened in Seoul, South Korea last November.
Players will be equipped with the tools they need to take their performance to the next level including 10gb fiber internet in three scrim rooms, a master film review room, and six soundproof streaming rooms.
Players can chow down at a cafeteria in-between gamesAdditionally, players will live two minutes from the facility in luxury apartments. They will have access to gym memberships, personal trainers, and physical therapy. When they’re not clicking heads, they can take a dip in an Olympic-sized swimming pool, shoot some hoops on basketball courts, and even play volleyball on sand courts.
It sound more like a resort than an esports training facility.

“Our fans can expect Gen.G’s presence to only grow across the U.S. following the announcement of this breathtaking LA facility.”
