Canadians are more drawn to eSports than ever, as more and more business owners explore the idea. Calgary is going to welcome its very first eSports bar with diverse gaming offerings ready to offer all competitive video gaming enthusiasts a chance to experience premium gaming. Ram Cross is going to bring the former Morgan’s Pub location to life and search for the next eSports icon of Calgary.
The world of competitive video gaming is known not only for its gaming potential and live entertainment properties but also for the betting possibilities it creates on a regular basis. Every live tournament offers enthusiasts the chance to bet on the outcome of the battle taking place on stage of the eSports arena. Calgary is eyed as one of the potential eSports hotspots on a national level, which has made possible this week’s launch.
Competitive Video Gaming is King
The location previously known as Morgan’s Pub is now completely transformed into Calgary’s first-ever eSports bar. Saturday is expected to see the official launch of operation on site, welcoming all local enthusiasts. Projections are that individuals from across Alberta would make their way to the brand new location. The community shows growing levels of interest in this activity.
This is a tendency widely spread across Canada, evident by a recent study conducted by Mintel and published in its Attitudes toward Gaming report. According to the information issued, some 96 percent of the young Canadian males between 18 and 34 enjoy video games, whereas 22 percent of the Canadians consider eSports equal to traditional sporting events. Such support on a national level is enough to make 2019 a year of increased eSports activity.
Penman Nejad, President of Ram Cross made it clear that the new business launches operation at the right time, as Alberta is much more welcoming to innovation and competitive video gaming than ever. On a global level, big teams ink sponsorships with major companies, something provincial teams are also capable of. Montreal is also ready to launch similar venue this Saturday.
Ram Cross Launches this Saturday
The idea of this new bar is that anyone could make a step into the eSports world. People with gaming skills are encouraged to showcase them and work on improving them on site of Ram Cross. The venue features some 18 gaming PCs ready to handle long hours of gaming action with reliable characteristics that could impress every gamer. The internet is supposed to be lightning-fast, which is why a fiber-optic one is chosen for the location.
It should be taken into account that the bar also features large TV screens for watching live eSports action, as well as traditional professional sports. Hockey live action is expected to bring together many Albertans willing to watch the action with their friends. The new eSports bar will also feature dining offerings, to make for a well-rounded experience. Due to the diversity evident across the venue, Ram Cross could be qualified as a family-friendly location too.
January 2019 marked a milestone for the local competitive video gaming field, as it saw the official launch of Calgary’s first eSports league. People following closely its development will not have a hub where they can gather and experience the thrill of eSports. British Columbia is expected to welcome the first Canadian eSports stadium that is currently being built in Richmond.
