Gfinity, Hoyts partner to create chain of Aussie Esports arenas

Gfinity Esports Australia and Hoyts today detailed a partnership that plans to create a chain of Esports arenas across Australia using current Hoyts Cinema locations.

The first arena will launch at the Hoyts Entertainment Quarter in Sydney’s Moore Park in April of this year.

“The dedicated esports arena will boast state of the art gaming equipment alongside a full broadcast and production suite, all designed to attract the growing number of professional events that will be coming to Australia,” a press release stated. “This will also be the standout destination for esports fans to enjoy top class action all year round.”

The Esports Arena will be used to kick off the Australian Gfinity Elite Series in the second quarter of 2018.

About the author

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.
