In a move that has rippled through the esports community, Kinguin, the renowned Polish esports and gaming marketplace, has declared that its Esports Performance Center (EPC) in Warsaw will cease operations in May 2024.
This announcement marks the end of an era for a facility that has been a cornerstone in the training and development of premier esports talents since its inception in 2019.
An Unexpected Curtain Call
The closure of the Warsaw EPC is attributed to the conclusion of Kinguin’s lease agreement for the property, coupled with the company’s decision to relocate its Warsaw office. This strategic shift signifies a pivotal moment for Kinguin, as the Warsaw EPC has been integral to its esports endeavors, offering a state-of-the-art training haven for some of the industry’s elite teams.
Over the past five years, the EPC has witnessed the convergence of ambition and skill, hosting over 300 bootcamps with more than 100 of them occurring in 2023 alone. Esteemed teams such as FaZe Clan, Fnatic, and TSM have graced the facility, leveraging its resources to hone their prowess and strategy.
More Than Just a Facility
The Kinguin Esports Performance Center was more than just walls and equipment; it was a crucible for talent, strategy, and innovation. The impact of this facility on the competitive landscape of esports is profound, offering a bespoke environment where teams could push the boundaries of their capabilities.
With the closure of the Warsaw EPC, Kinguin is now left with a single venue, its gaming lounge in Gdansk.
Yet, the spirit of the EPC will undoubtedly persist, as Kinguin reassures its commitment to the esports domain. The company’s directors, in a heartfelt message, expressed their gratitude towards the community and hinted at future endeavors in the esports arena.
Viktor Romaniuk, the visionary behind the Kinguin Esports Performance Center, echoed the sentiments of resilience and gratitude. Acknowledging the contributions of players, partners, and supporters, Romaniuk assured that Kinguin’s journey in esports is far from over. The quest for new opportunities and ventures in esports continues, with Kinguin poised to script the next chapter of its engagement with the competitive gaming world.
