Auckland’s Sky Tower hosts Esports Studio with a view
A state of the art esports studio has been opened at Auckland’s Sky Tower, thanks to a partnership between LetsPlay.Live and the SKYCITY Entertainment Group.
With dedicated PC and console booths, commentary and analysis desks and the aim to broadcast in 4K or HD, the launch of LPL Studios is a big step for Australasian esports.
“The opening of LPL Studios will see a leap forward in our ability to create and broadcast esports tournaments in Australasia,” said LPL Director, Duane Mutu. “It will also provide New Zealand with the infrastructure to develop the esports industry locally and create a platform for emerging professional talent to turn their hobby into a career competing internationally.”
LPL Studios will also be accessible to streamers and community groups, although the site’s focus is on esports. This coincides with LPL’s announced Alpha Invitational tournament, a seven week, six team round robin tournament of CSGO, with Grayhound, Tainted Minds and Order on-board to compete for a share in the $10,000 prize pool. You can see more details about their upcoming competitions on the official site, and of course stay tuned to our Esports Hub for all Australasian esports news.
