Team Liquid and Alienware recently partnered to create an 9,000 square foot esports training facility in Los Angeles. A custom media center and Tobii eye-tracking for training are just two of the things that set the facility apart from other North American esports facilities. The facility is filled with advanced tech to address the specific training needs of a gamer, but also to address another issue of increased concern in the esports industry — rapid athlete burnout.
The facility, which was officially launched earlier this year, is the first dedicated training center that is not also a team house, which Team Liquid CEO and former esports athlete Steve Arhancet says is aimed at striking a balance between work and home to improve a player’s mental health.
