Listen Later

Contender eSports Cary was opened in October 2020 by Caleb Smith and Vinny Smith. As a top-rated esports gaming center, Contender eSports Cary is The Triangle area’s go-to facility for online gaming training, workshops, tournaments, open play, and more.

Caleb talks about his background and how he and his company decided that Cary was a good place for them to set up their business.

Caleb played soccer overseas and what living in Germany for 3 years. We talk about his experiences in a multicultural city.

Joe and Caleb talk about how the view of video games has changed from when they were younger. There is more opportunity for gamers to be able to make money and to get scholarships more than there ever was before. When Josh and Joe were kids they would get in trouble for playing video games too much, playing games was considered lazy and their parents would tell them to go outside and play as if video gameplay was bad for them.

Interested in checking out eSports in Cary, Caleb talks about the ages of the kids who can join, how to join, and more in-depth about the whole joining process.

Caleb talks about how you don't even need to be in a team you can work your way up to the top by yourself in eSports.

Caleb talks about how e-sports are different from regular sports as companies own the games so they have to be careful in how they navigate some things.

They all talk about how streams and youtube videos are up and coming and how it is beneficial to be able to teach kids how to do things like coding and editing those types of things.
