In an email to The Esports Observer, a Vitality representative confirmed that the facility will be for both the team and fans, and will open later this year. “Offering the ultimate playground for the community and players to grow and interact shows the team’s commitment to a sustainable, credible, and long-term development of their brand,” reads the release.
