Esports Arena to move Headquarters from Historic Santa Ana Location to Irvine, CA
Irvine, California – 18 May 2021: Esports Arena announced the company’s plans to move from their historic and beloved Santa Ana HQ location to a new HQ located in the City of Irvine. This milestone is a major move for Esports Arena on its mission to expand esports’ reach and accessibility to more gamers in their local communities and around the world.
The Esports Arena HQ in Santa Ana first opened its doors in 2015. Esports Arena Santa Ana quickly became the SoCal hub for all things competitive gaming, as it stormed the scene with record-breaking events, launch parties for new games, and community involvement via concerts and some of the best local eateries.
“Looking back on all of the good times that happened here, a huge thank you is owed to supporters and to everyone who has been through those arena doors. As Esports Arena says goodbye to the Santa Ana office, there are fond memories of hosting early CSGO events, Wednesday Night Fights, weekly Super Smash tournaments and so much more. This is not a goodbye as a company, this simply a new chapter in Esports Arena’s journey” says Tyler Endres, CEO of Esports Arena. “With the new HQ location and exciting brand partnerships, Esports Arena is looking to the future with Series E, and continuing to open more locations inside Walmart stores across the country.”
Esports Arena’s new HQ will be announced at a later date. In keeping with Esports’ tradition, the new Irvine HQ will be a dynamic mix of historic and modern. The new location will be rich in character and history to pay homage to Irvine’s roots and history. The new HQ will include a state-of-the-art studio for live streaming esports and live broadcasts. In next steps after the initial opening of the new facility, the company plans to welcome live audiences to witness Esports’ streams and to see the real BTS of a live gaming production facility.
This news of the new HQ location comes in the wake of many recent initiatives and accomplishments of the company, including: · Esports activation for brands like: Razer, Intel Gaming, Butterfinger, Kellogg’s, VIZIO & more · Esports Arena opens more Walmart locations nationwide · Growing Series E, Esports Arena’s semi-pro gaming ecosystem · Added Mobil1 & Tom Cat as new sponsors of Series E (along with Razer, Intel, Rockstar Energy, Nestle Splash, Pringles, Apple Jacks Pop-Tarts, Cheez-It & Rice Krispies Treats)
“I’m so excited that Esports Arena will be headquartered in Irvine,” says Farrah N. Khan, Mayor of The City of Irvine. “They will fill a void for our local gaming community by providing live and online tournaments. Esports Arena is a welcome addition to making Irvine a destination city for all.”
