Check out the slick esports coffee shop Tim Hortons and Tencent just opened in Shenzhen, China
Probably the most tech savvy coffee place out there.
Esports is such a massive deal these days that Tim Hortons, in collaboration with Tencent, just opened a state-of-the-art esports facility in Shenzhen, China. This coffee shop will even have esports-themed food and drink items for those looking to get in a fine cup of joe in-between matches of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League Of Legends, or whatever the hottest game might be.
This facility is part of a joint venture between Tencent, the multinational technology conglomerate, and famed fast-food chain Tim Hortons. It’ll be a place for gamers to watch esports tournaments or well-known content creators in a social environment full of interactive screens. Kind of like an internet cafe, but with more modern technology that’ll better suit mobile and offline gaming needs.
You can check out some pictures of the restaurant below.
