The arena regularly hosts tier-1 and tier-2 events across League of Legends, Valorant, CS2, Rocket League, Overwatch, and fighting games, as well as university leagues, corporate activations, and international qualifier streams. Its medieval-sci-fi aesthetic—complete with a fantasy tavern backdrop creates one of the most visually iconic stages in global esports.
