ESP Gaming will host its own live esports productions from the venue, with the Vainglory Premier League being the first announced event in the space. With Super Mega Evil Corp debuting its 5V5 game mode for the upcoming Premier League, you can expect fans to come out in full force for this event.

Jeff Liboon, president of ESP Gaming, said, "With demand for our esports production services continuing to grow, we needed a home to host more tournaments and competitions at broadcast-quality levels so we could continue to deliver best-in-class esports content to audiences worldwide. This partnership with Poker Central gives us the ability to bring the best in live esports to new fans and create a preeminent location for developers to elevate their leading titles from game to sport."
The venue features multiple sound stages including a main studio, break desk and streaming lounge. The studio will be open to the public on an event-by-event basis. The first production in the space will take place May 16-18 with a special grand opening edition of "Poker After Dark."
