EVA’s eSport VR Arenas open mid-April at Lille

For several months, the group EVA (Esports Virtual Arenas) has been creating large arenas in several cities in France where teams can compete in a relaxed or competitive mode in virtual reality video games. It will have its own night and open in mid-April 2022 on the village side of Butwein.

If you’ve already won VR games that you’ve tested at home with headphones or at designated spots in Lille, here we are talking to you about the level above: no wire here but free roaming. A technical advance that allows you to move over a much larger area with equipment that goes from head to toe.

On your back, you have a kind of “computer bag” to monitor your entire body in the VR world (not just your head and hands). And precisely in your hands, these are not monitors but weapons. In short, the immersion is complete and you should have a little heart as it is short.

Especially since the two plazas that are currently being built in Lille have an area of ​​450 square meters each. “They can even be grouped together to create a single yard of approximately 1,000 square metersSebastian Valecaneras explains. With Hervey and Martin Fourcade (not the athletic athlete), they form the trio at the helm of this unique space in Lille.

Virtual reality, headset and relaxation

To get a space to build these courtyards while staying close to central Lille (and accessible by bus), they set their sights on an empty space in the village of Btwin, At the end, where the BMX حقل field is located. Their goal is to bring people esports to real competition but also those who want to play with family, friends or colleagues.

“We are a VR room but above all we want to bring people to a cool place“, Sebastian continues. This means that the team has also dedicated a good portion of the place to two relaxation areas with plenty of sofas, a bar with local beer, and a catering offering based on homemade snacks, pizza and plates, all with good darts.”We will also have a sunny terrace where you can sit in front of the BMX arena where they roll every evening.”

We will also find a nice seminar room, locker rooms and screens everywhere to see what is happening in the game even if we are not in the arena. “We will have a place with two computers for broadcast creators who will come to comment on the sessionsMartin adds. The Lille trio would like to organize at least one local tournament per month, but there will also be EVA or franchise leagues.

As for the game itself,There will be six different maps, one of which will be released in AprilMainly there will be ., says Sebastian After Hthe game developed by EVA and available in three versions.
