Nerd Street Gamers Open Three New Locations With Five Below

Nerd Street Gamers, in partnership with specialty chain store Five Below, have cut the ribbon on three new esports facilities. They’ll be located in Georgetown, Texas; St Louis, Missouri; and in NSG’s native Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two of the facilities will be within pre-existing Five Below stores, while the St Louis location is set to open next month.

For Five Below, the move allows the company to have a stake in the booming esports industry and stay relevant. Meanwhile, NSG were itching to put $12 million in seed capital to good use after a successful 2019 funding round.

If the partnership proves successful, it could go on to fuel expansion to another 70 locations in the coming years. It’s the sort of collaboration that North America needs as a region to foster new talent and stay competitive.

Riot Games Announce 2021 Plans For Valorant In SE Asia

Official partners include Mineski, AcadArena, The Gaming Company, Professional Gamers League, Eliphant, Talon, Taiwan Mobile, TeSL, ESL, and ONE Up. The move is expected to increase interest from Asian bookmakers and drive up esports betting in the region.

Hannibal Knights To Face The Black Lotus In ESWC Africa Semi-Finals

The League of Legends ESWC Africa tournament is underway, and round three playoff matches are all set. The 13-field team has been whittled down to the last four participants.

Prominent Moroccan team Fox Gaming will face off against the Tunisian MYIDOL Esports. Meanwhile, underdog team Hannibal Knights will play 2019 champions (and fellow Moroccans) The Black Lotus.

The semi-final matches will take place over the weekend. The Knights vs Lotus match will take place on Sunday, with the winner going on to face either Fox Gaming or MYIDOL Esports in the final.

The tournament has a modest prize pool of only US $10,000 this year, with $5,000 going to the winner. African esports betting sites will do plenty of business for this one.

Europe esports news

Esports Athletes Allowed Into Germany Despite Travel Ban

After recent waves of COVID-19 infections, Germany effectively shut down travel into and out of the country. However, Esports-Bundes Deutschland (ESBD) has now confirmed that esports athletes will receive special exemptions that allow them to enter.

The ruling applies to athletes with German esports visas and supervisors of athletes under 18. It’s a surprisingly broad exemption. It’ll make it easier for esports tournaments (and sportsbook action) to return to relative normality.

Before the ruling, only individuals from the EU, UK, and Switzerland were allowed into Germany. Travellers coming from other territories needed extraordinary reasons to be granted entry. Fortunately, esports have now officially been deemed a substantial-enough reason for entry.

Spawn Resigns From ORDER

Jake “Spawn” Tiberi, a professional League of Legends analyst, has officially resigned from ORDER. Spawn co-founded the Australian-based esports organization several years ago alongside the likes of Rogue, Swiffer, FBI, Spookz, and Tally.

Their first bout together was in 2017, when ORDER successfully acquired Regicide’s Oceanic Premier League slot. Now, after Riot Games announced the dissolution of the OPL, Spawn has announced his departure from the team. Tiberi intends to pursue international opportunities with other teams.

This may be an isolated incident or the first in a wave of defections from former OPL figures. Riot Games’ disbandment of the region’s premier LoL competition casts a long shadow over Australian esports.
