UCI Esports Arena

My family came here for the Rams training camp about 2 weeks ago. The campus was nice. Luckily there were two entrances, otherwise there would have been a long wait in. Food and drinks were pricey but you should expect it. The free giveaways were cool. Difficult to get any signatures from the players.

A buddy of mine that goes to UCI wanted to play overwatch after having dinner in Fullerton. Hit up a cyber cafe in that area and turns out they closed down. So one of our group members recommended going to the UCI esports arena. Good news! It's open to the public. All you need to do is make an account at the front desk and they will reload your account with hours. 1 hour = 4 dollars. When you consider that you pay $14 for a 2.5 hour movie, it really isn't a bad deal.The computers in here are fairly decked out, but you'll need your own account to play any blizzard games. They have a decent selection of free to play games as well. It was hecka loud when we're trying to play though, with a bunch of people standing around looking at others play LoL.Wish it was quieter so we could actually chat over comms without hearing shouting in the background, but otherwise was a good experience.

Came here with some friends, they have about 50 computers equipped with 1080, so you can play anything on ultra. Monitors are 144hz.Encountered some problems when opening PUBG, got it open after 5 minutes. This was the day after 1.0 so could be due to the new patch. For low sens, FPS players, you probably will need to tilt the keyboard. TLDR: great experience, will come back.

Great way to waste time with friends in Irvine! I just wish they'd be more transparent about when they're going to be closed outside of university holidays. Otherwise a solid Esports arena!

It's too packed but the services are amazing. Even if you're not a UCI student you are welcomed to play as long as you pay.

The esports arena was pretty cool but the mice and keyboard didnt feel the best. It also kicked me out if my val game during overtime and we lost :(

Fun to play at in between classes. The computers and monitors are high end and the place is clean.

Least smelly smash venue. Prices are fair. I like to spend time here while I have spots in my schedule.

Horrible company that has nothing set up professionally. I came here to play games and 3/4 of the games weren't even playable! Discord wasn't working on almost all the computers I went on I had to switch about 10 computers for just discord to launch. No games were updated and they didn't have enough storage on the hard drive to update any games at all. If I were you I wouldn't even give this company a dollar. Extremely unprofessional.
