After going to other Esports Centers around the area, I would say this is overall the best.
The $30 a month for unlimited play is one of the best deals ever. As long as you use it more than, in the most likely case, 7.5 hours and in the extreme case, 16 hours. You will generally get your money's worth.
The specs on the computers aren't top notch compared to other arenasI've seen but it's good enough for the titles that i played(LoL).
The most important thing for esports titles are the peripherals rather than computer. Theirs is the best I've seen. All Logitech, for some people it won't be 10/10 but it'll be passing and playable.
The problems lie when 1. You are there for 1-2 hours each visit and 2. You don't go enough to benefit from the $30 a month. The parking in the lot next door is $2 an hour so on an individual level it's $6 an hour which is the most expensive arena pricing. They are also closed on the weekends so you'll have around 20 days a month to get your money's worth.
Overall, it's a safe arena. Unrivaled value at the top end and comparable value at the low end. Wish it was open...
