China – Melco launches Macau’s first ever E-sports Stadium

By - 1 August 2018

Melco Resorts has launched Macau’s first ever E-sports venue, Macau EStadium, at Melco’s integrated resort Studio City in partnership with Kowloon E-Stadium and ALL-IN E-Sports.

The Macau EStadium is a high-performance event space that can seat up to 274 guests and is equipped with cutting-edge advanced technology that will cater to top-tier E-sport tournaments, virtual gaming leagues and professional players from around the world. In line with Melco’s goal to shape the future of entertainment, the Macau E-Stadium will appeal to a younger generation of E-sport players and fans who crave exciting and innovative virtual entertainment
options. Through this E-Stadium, Melco will take a leading role in promoting E-sports among the local community and further elevating Macau as a multifaceted tourist destination in Asia.

The Macau EStadium features high-performance virtual gaming facilities coupled with advanced technology that will enable an array of E-sporting events including multiplayer gaming tournaments as well as live-streaming of E-sport events from other parts of the world and then broadcasted to a Macau audience with Mandarin and Cantonese narration. The venue is due to host an array of top competitions in the coming year.

E-sports has become a global phenomenon that particularly appeals to younger players, with the majority of players being below 30 years old. Moreover, Chinese players account for over half of the global eSports audience and virtual gaming is growing in popularity around Asia. This EStadium will attract this younger generation of players and fans to Macau, further promoting Macau as a diversified entertainment destination for tourists in Asia and globally.

Geoff Andres, Property President of Studio City Macau at Melco Resorts & Entertainment said “The Macau EStadium is the first of its kind here in Macau and we are honoured to work with our partners Kowloon E-Stadium and All-In E-Sports to launch such an exciting new event space that will stage some of the most electrifying E-sport events around the
world. E-Sports is a fast-growing market segment that is constantly innovating and evolving, and Melco is confident that this venue will allow us to further cater to younger patrons while continue to bring fresh and novel experiences to all our guests. We thank our partners and the Macau Government for their constant support as Melco continues to deliver some of the most innovative entertainment events to global customers and tourists here in Macau.”
