E3 ESL Arena to feature at E3 2018

The E3 ESL Arena has today been announced by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).

Running concurrently with E3 2018 over 12-14 in Los Angeles, the E3 ESL Arena is located in the LACC’s South Hall and will seat over 200 fans. The ESA promised “custom player experiences with analysts and casters, giving the audience up-close VIP access to the world of competitive Esports.”

“Competitive video games are taking sports entertainment by storm, with the global esports audience reaching 335 million people in 2017,” said Michael D. Gallagher, President and CEO of ESA. “With the addition of the E3 ESL Arena, E3 2018 is set to be a non-stop, edge-of-your-seat ride of video game announcements, demos, and competition.”

ESA’s announcement didn’t detail the games that will be played on stage.

E3 2018 runs over 12-14 June at the Los Angeles Convention Centre. Stevivor will be on hand to report on the news as it happens.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
