AEV Establishes Headquarters for Atlanta Reign, Atlanta's First Professional Esports Team
Atlanta, GA Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that AEV (Atlanta Esports Ventures), a partnership between Cox Enterprises and Nevada-based Province, Inc., will locate the headquarters for Atlanta Reign, a professional esports team, in Atlanta. The facility in Midtown Atlanta will result in the creation of forty-five new jobs and an investment of $100,000,000 in the growing esports ecosystem in Atlanta.
"We are proud to see Atlanta Reign expanding their footprint in Midtown with the opening of this new headquarters," said Governor Kemp. "Atlanta is quickly becoming a hub for esports in the United States, and this announcement speaks to the strength of Georgia's vibrant tech and entertainment industries."
Atlanta Reign is owned by AEV and is an American professional Overwatch esports team based in Atlanta. The team competes in the Overwatch League (OWL) as a member of the league's Atlantic Division. AEV has also announced Atlanta FaZe, a new franchise Call of Duty esports team.
"The State of Georgia has been incredibly supportive of esports in Atlanta," said Paul Hamilton, president and CEO of AEV. "This type of hands-on collaboration with the region not only makes esports accessible to job seekers and fans, but it also assures us that there is no better place for esports than in Atlanta. The thriving tech and entertainment industries in the city further prove that Atlanta is the right place for esports organizations and digitally savvy professionals to put down roots and succeed."
Atlanta's competitive gaming scene has grown significantly with the city already playing host to long-running esports events. Because of the city's thriving game development and tech industries, Atlanta is becoming a major destination for game creators and players alike.
"Metro Atlanta's esports scene is fast becoming one of the region's hottest tech sectors, and I'm excited to see continued investment in the ecosystem," said Hala Moddelmog,
