Gaming Residence offers the best facilities to develop the talent of future stars while they finish their university career.

Esports are becoming more and more professional. Its growing weight in the world economy and becoming one of the most important leisure products among youth has drawn attention in the university world , which has incorporated it as one more subject in its curriculum and the object of research by different academic profiles: psychology, sports, business, health... more and more facilities are emerging with the idea of ​​promoting them, as in the case of Gaming Residence.

Most professional athletes are college-age youth . Many are at the crossroads of deciding whether to focus 100% on their discipline or put their development on hold for a few years until they finish their studies at the university , as was the case of G2 Arctic support Luis Calderón 'Aesenar', who until graduated in Mathematics did not make the leap to the competitive scene.

The idea of ​​Gaming Residence is precisely to welcome those who prefer to try to achieve both objectives at the same time , offering a place to live with the best facilities so that they can exploit their talent.

Carrying out a degree at the same time that you prepare to finish your degree is a huge effort . Several professionals, already consecrated, assure that, during the first years of learning, the average daily playing time is approximately 6 hours.

To that, we would have to add another 5 hours of class a day plus the time dedicated to studying. In total, free time is non-existent and there is hardly any room to prepare food, clean the house and organize the agenda.

Madrid, the first pilot test

The first Gaming Residence building will be in Madrid, between Moncloa and Aravaca, in a complex of more than 3,500 square meters with everything essential for a professional athlete: Wi-Fi and high-speed cable, rooms equipped for all computer components, nutritionist to advise food, laundry...

This first course in which they start will have two types of rooms: a common double and a premium with much more space available for the student. The price of the first will be €1,900 per month, while the second will be €2,300.

Although at first glance the cost is somewhat high, the company offers several scholarships so that the most talented students can stay during the course with financial aid that makes their stay cheaper.

In addition to the rooms, other facilities where university students can train and play are the "G-Arena" competition arena and the training, streaming and bootcamp rooms .

The key is to turn the place into an agora where the future of Spain coexists and can feed off each other in its growth, and thus make a quality leap in the national competitive ecosystem.

Education and training

But the objective of Gaming Residence is not only to train future esports professionals in their field , but also to create the ideal conditions for them to finish their studies at the University.

To do this, they will have study rooms and libraries so that students can concentrate on exam periods, as well as common areas where they can meet their classmates to progress in their work.

According to Mario Viviani, founder of the company that has made Gaming Residence possible, " it is a unique and totally pioneering opportunity both in the university residence sector and in esports" , he tells about a project that has been in the works for more than 2 years and that intends to go hand in hand with each student to train him not as a player and student, but as a future worker in the industry.

To precisely facilitate their work immersion , they will offer training in various areas that will complement the university curriculum and that will allow them to improve their skills tree in an industry that is constantly changing and that requires increasingly more prepared professionals.

Madrid will be the first testing ground for the Gaming Residence, a novel initiative with potential that could quickly be exported to other large Spanish cities with a significant university network.

The goal, to say the least, is admirable: to train a future wave of talent and turn our country into one of the most important in the electronic sports industry.
