Take a tour of the XO gaming house in Bengaluru

• As gaming transitions into esports, prize money is growing and the sector is in the midst of a boom. Esports companies such as XO have stepped up to set up gaming houses, plush facilities where the players’ only job is to practise, with a team, to give themselves a better chance of winning at tournaments. In exchange, the esports company gets a share of the winnings. Take a look at one such gaming house, a plush 10,000-sq-ft facility with a gym and swimming pool, in Bengaluru.
