This 15,000 Feet, $35 Million Gaming Compound Is Every Gamer And Streamer's Dream
100 Thieves opened up its 100 Thieves Gaming compound last year for its teams, and it¡¯s everything a professional gamer or streamer would want in their life.
There was a time when computer games were seen as a way to kill time or just have fun, whereas football or cricket or basketball was regarded as the serious sports that could be thought of as a career option.
However, today, times have changed. With so many competitive games surfacing, esports is now becoming larger than ever where not only more and more young people are entering the field, but in fact, universities are offering degrees and diplomas in esports.
And one such organisation that¡¯s known to have esports teams for games like Fortnite, League of Legends, CounterStrike: Global Offensive and others -- 100 Thieves -- opened up its 100 Thieves Gaming compound for its teams and it¡¯s everything a professional gamer or streamer would want in their life.
