In time, the company has ambitions to host esports competitions between the different offices within the facility. Founded in France, Teleperformance operates in 88 countries and serves 170 markets with over 420,000 employees.<\/span><\/p>\n
The launch of the \u2018state-of-the-art\u2019 facility appears to be the start of Teleperformance\u2019s push into esports. The company also plans to create its own team, with Portuguese media outlet <\/span>Expresso<\/span><\/a> reporting that it will enter FIFA.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Teleperformance\u2019s esports launch event also featured a range of activities, including panels discussing esports and the metaverse, as well as esports tournaments. One of the showmatches saw MIBR compete against OG in CS:GO, with the winner (OG) receiving over $30,000 (~\u00a323,700).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Esports showcases in FIFA, Brawl Stars and Super Smash Bros also took place at the venue\u2019s unveiling, as well as a panel featuring industry executives and representatives from the likes of Razer, SPORTFIVE, OG and more.<\/span><\/p>\n
Over the last 18 months, a variety of esports venues have been unveiled – ranging from performance HQ\u2019s to public facilities. Some notable venues include the V.Hive in Paris<\/a>, <\/span>Giants Gaming\u2019s 1000-square-metre HQ<\/span><\/a> in Spain, <\/span>OverActive Media\u2019s planned venue in Toronto<\/span><\/a>, the SideQuest venues<\/a> across the UK and <\/span>Belong Gaming Arenas\u2019 gaming centres<\/span><\/a> across both the UK and US.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Esports Insider says: It\u2019s great to see more venues being developed across Europe, especially from such a sizable, non-endemic company. The esports arena looks to not only provide opportunities for teams and events, but will be a prominent component as Teleperformance looks to develop its own esports team and integrate the discipline into the company\u2019s culture. If executed correctly, Teleperformance could become a major name within Portugal, and more globally, for esports.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
