As local Austinites we opened The Esports Cave to give people a great place to come play games – competitively or just for fun. What a great place to get started in the esports center scene! Austin, Texas is home to some of the coolest gaming businesses around including these 57 gaming companies in Austin. For instance, Bethesda with their Elder Scrolls series is one of our biggest influences to get into the video games industry. Many local companies like EA talk about the communities within our games.
This is what drives us to build our esports center to be a place where the Austin gamers can come together and have a real-time and in-person community. Online games do bring people together, but there’s still something special about getting in the same room with other gamers. We are proud to serve a community where many colleges and also high schools in the area are offering teams and clubs for esports. We have connected with several to arrange events in our gaming center. Concordia University has a program that includes scholarships. Vandegrift High School has a team and a club!
Our first year in 2020 as Austin’s coolest gaming center was in probably the worst imaginable time for a new business. We signed our lease for our Anderson Mill location in January and by March the whole world was shut down. During Covid restrictions we were excited to be available for local residents and enjoyed meeting our neighbors. We’ve met families that game together, fathers and sons that game together, mothers and kids who game together, solo gamers and friends who game together. The ATX gaming scene has a lot of great people, and we’ve had a great time getting to know you.
KXAN came in and did a great story about our opening. Todd Bailey came in and interviewed Connor for the story and filmed the center to broadcast live on the morning segment. I think he captured what we are trying to offer gamers in the Greater Austin Area by showcasing a professional and clean environment with plenty of room for you!
The set-up inside is impressive. They have everything from a 6v6 stage, production-quality lights, and stations of multiple seats for more teams of six.
As we planned to open The Esports Cave, our primary concern was the safety and comfort of our gamers. That’s why we chose a wide open area with clusters to give you space and visibility with cameras at every angle. We planned to clean stations after every use so that you’d never have to touch dirty or greasy equipment. When Covid restrictions and guidelines kicked in it felt natural to keep our customers safe since we already planned enough space and cleaning. We simply had to upgrade our cleaning solvent and make sure to wipe down all the surfaces every time.
Above all is safety so we have kept those cleaning regiments to make sure that you have the most comfortable and safe experience every time. Similarly, we stole a page from buc-ee’s – the cleanest bathrooms in esports!
During Covid we kept our goal of providing a place for gamers to hang out. Halloween was tough for kids who could not go door to door for trick or treating, so we hosted a lock-in with haunted house rooms and trick-or-treating stations for them. The next month we hosted several gamers who couldn’t go to their usual spots for Thanksgiving and put together a 5 hour package complete with a turkey dinner. It has always been important that Austin gamers are welcome here.
As the world started opening up again we welcomed Austin Geeks and gamers of all kinds to share their favorite games with us. We hosted tournaments featuring Fortnite Battle Royal and Box fights and Super Smash Bros for people to show off their skills. As our popularity grew, we made the lock-ins a regular occurence where gamers could play all night until 8 am as our center didn’t close one night a month.
The Esports Cave is working to build our place in the Austin gaming center scene. While our original setups featured massive 50-computer layouts, we’ve streamlined our latest Austin gaming center into a premium 20-seat high-spec battle station optimized for zero lag and maximum performance. Don’t forget the event center and stages at Pinballz where we can host the ultimate competition and stream it live!
Austin gaming still has lots of room for growth. Our stage and gaming center can hold a great competition with room for plenty of fans on prem and fantastic lighting and cameras for streaming. Serious players can join our tournaments soon! We have summer camps and birthday parties! Come join us for a local Austin gaming center experience!
