I have worked with Nik in the past at a previous college and when I came to my current college last August, I turned to Nik to support me with getting the esports room set up professionally. We were moving into a brand-new building and the esports room was a blank canvas. Nik worked with me along with his partners to analyse the space and decide the best place to set up an arena. It was a seamless process. The esports room looks amazing and is always on the tour when we show visitors around!
I first met Nik at BETT 2022 when we were looking into the possibility of launching esports. Nik was phenomenal in helping me to understand how to launch an esports programme and the steps that needed to be taken. From creating an esports arena to taking on the BTEC Esports courses, Nik had all the answers. Nik is so knowledgeable about esports and was amazing with helping me to get involved. Nik's esports resources on TES were also incredible for understanding how to teach esports and specifically tailored to each unit of the BTEC Esports courses.
Nik's assistance has been instrumental in preparing me for the upcoming launch of the Esports BTEC course. Nik's guidance and expertise have been invaluable in ensuring I have everything I need to embark on this exciting educational journey. Nik's deep understanding of the Esports industry has been evident from the very beginning. He has taken the time to assess my specific requirements and tailor his support accordingly. His knowledge of the course curriculum and its demands has allowed him to provide targeted advice and resources, ensuring that I am well-equipped to excel academically. One aspect that truly sets Nik apart is his foresight and vision for the future of Esports. He has been instrumental in exploring the potential for setting up an Esports arena, offering invaluable insights into the various considerations and requirements involved. His ability to think strategically and identify opportunities in this rapidly growing industry is truly impressive. What I appreciate most about Nik is his accessibility and willingness to assist. He has consistently made himself available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and provide guidance. Whether it was through face-to-face meetings, email exchanges, or virtual discussions, Nik's prompt and insightful responses have been invaluable in helping me navigate the intricacies of the Esports field.
“After deciding to start running the esports BTEC and having a budget agreed I wasn’t sure where to go next. I found Nik and after one lengthy conversation the rest, as they say, is history. Nik advised and supported me all the way from planning to installation and we now have a beautiful esports arena. We’re so pleased we’re having a second installed next month. I’d highly recommend Nik if you’re venturing on a similar journey”
How to build an esports arena
Have you ever wondered how difficult it is to build an esports arena? Well, we’ve been through the build process for an esports arena many times. Working with our partners we’ve had the experience of designing and building several unique esports arenas.
What most people don’t realise, however, is just how much creative thinking, preparation and hard work goes into every single one of our esports arenas. To illustrate that there is so much involved more involved in building esports arenas than putting some gaming computers in a room, we’ll walk you through one of our arena builds.
The first step in a new project is always the most fun. We learn exactly what sort of space we’re working with, as well as your wants, needs and budgets. We do this by meeting with you and discussing your vision for the project and how exactly we can bring this to life while working within your budget. Our experience has given us much insight and fore site into any potential issues.
Ntesports are of the only companies that can deliver a full esports arena solution, from design, through build, esports management, software, gaming PC’s and gaming software. This is a huge strength – joined-up thinking means that your esports arena is cohesive, both aesthetically and technically.
The next thing to do is to start designing. By this point, we will have figured out the specs that the PCs need to be as well room dimensions that the furniture designs need to adhere to. This is where we split off into two teams, those building the furniture and those building the gaming PCs.”
Our furniture team will start by modelling the room and building the arena in specialist 3D modelling software so that they can show you periodically and make changes along the way if any issues start to present themselves. Once the final decision has been made, the furniture goes into the build stage and the real work begins! The PC team is hard at work building the beautiful machines that will run the arena.
Often customers are eager to get their logos and branding etched onto the PCs to immortalise their place in esports. Our partners have done this for the likes of Exel Esports and Newcastle United Foundation, just to name a few.
Thinking about the build also demonstrates the potential esports careers that are evolving within the esports industry. Someone has to design the games software, the gaming pcs, the venue software, and build the esports arena. Then someone has to manage the completed arena, staff are needed at the venue. There are potentially so many esports jobs – it’s not all about the esports star pro players! There really is so much potential in this vibrant, exciting growth industry. It’s a great time to get into working in the esports industry.
When everything is ready, we get to the installation. We ship all the parts to the arena location and get the team onsite. You may assume that we hire out a build crew but for the most part, we do it all ourselves. We want each esports arena to be perfect, and we have the experience and passion to deliver. This tends to mean some long, labour-intensive days where we install every desk, PC, monitor and peripheral by hand. A demanding process to be sure but gratifying when the arena is finished and the team can enjoy the completed venue and the clients’ delight. We have always had great feedback from our clients, which makes all those long days worthwhile.
It’s exciting to be involved in the design and the build. We are proud of each esports arena we’ve built. The team pushes itself with each new build, and our vision only gets larger. We have plenty of esports arenas in place and more currently in the pipeline and none of them will be anything like what you’ve seen from our partners before. This is because each build is unique – responding creatively to the space, needs and budget presented to us. I’m sure we’ll keep posting our new build esports arenas, so keep an eye out. If you are looking to build an esports arena, make sure you’ve got us on your team, and it’s sure to be a winner.
