The headquarters base of the e-sports club 4AM (Four Angry Men), five-time champions of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, was officially unveiled in Nanshan District on July 21st.

The club is said to continue to focus on professional leagues at home and abroad, make full use of the cluster advantages of various industries in Shenzhen and Nanshan, and carry out businesses in multiple fields, including e-sports events, youth training and selection, e-sports education, fashion industry cooperation, MCN cooperation, and integration of e-commerce product purchase and sales channels.

The headquarters base plans to have several functional areas such as a training area, viewing area, live broadcast area, play area, living area, and honor display area, providing professional venue support for various businesses within the club.

The viewing area located in the center of the base can accommodate 300 spectators at the same time, providing the best viewing experience, and can also be transformed into a stage for small events according to different competitions.

In the live broadcast area, there are six professional live broadcast rooms with different sizes and functions and one e-sports hotel room, which can meet the daily live broadcast needs of some retired players and livestreamers.

The training area is equipped with a training tactics conference room, a healthcare room for players, and a professional training room, and each training room is equipped with state-of-the-art training equipment. The entire competition training area can meet the training requirements of two youth training and three competition training divisions simultaneously.

“We have just reached strategic cooperation with FazeClan, the only listed e-sports company in the world, for player exchange and training,” said Cui Chen, assistant president of the 4AM club.

According to Cui, as the FMVP of the PEDL League, the club’s youth players are expected to compete in the North American division, which also lays a solid foundation for the club's global layout of competition training.

Cui said that establishing 4AM’s headquarters base in Nanshan was a choice made after fully examining market size, location advantages, industrial clusters, policy support and other aspects. He added that a majority of 4AM’s fans come from South China, especially Guangdong Province, and the headquarters base will be conducive to the localized operation of fans interaction.

In 2022, Nanshan issued special supportive measures to encourage the development of e-sports industry in the district, focusing on clubs, competitions, and the industry’s top resources.
