The Raptors Uprising Gaming Club (GC) has officially revealed Bell Fibe House – the team’s gaming house that sports a fully furnished home and a training facility with the very best in gaming equipment. The Bell Fibe House represents a major step forward for the entire esports industry as it sets the bar for future projects. This is the new standard for others to follow.
“Esports competitors have traveled from across the United States, Europe, and Canada to become NBA 2K League players,” said Shane Talbot, esports Manager at Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. “With the support of our partners, we are able to provide our Raptors Uprising GC team a training environment fit for professional gamers.”
Bell Fibe House is equipped with 10 top-of-the-line Alienware gaming PCs with HyperX peripherals and DXRacer gaming chairs. Each PC is connected to a broadcast computer enabling streaming for up to 10 players at once. The house also features a pool table and ping pong tables for players to enjoy during their leisure time away from NBA 2K League training and fitness sessions.
The training facility is directly connected to Bell’s all-fibre network, which offers the fastest Internet access speeds and the lowest latency for less lag and quicker ping times, ensuring the smoothest possible gaming experience. This week, PC Mag announced that Bell Internet service is the fastest in Canada by far, with Bell outscoring its nearest rival by more than 30% in approximately 12,000 Internet speed tests conducted by PC Mag between September 2017 and June 2018.
“Bell is proud to support the Raptors Uprising GC and the team’s state-of-the-art gaming facility with the world’s best Internet technology,” said Rizwan Jamal, President of Bell Residential Services. “Featuring the highest symmetrical online access speeds available in Canada, Fibe Internet is the clear choice for serious gamers here at Bell Fibe House and across our fast-growing all-fibre network.
The house reveal is one of many milestones that Raptors Uprising GC and esports fans across Canada can join in on and celebrate throughout the remainder of the season, including the recently launched NBA 2K Uprising Weekend League.
The Bell Fibe House shows that Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment is incredibly committed to the esports community and is putting the organization’s vast resources behind the project.
