eSports Convention Comes to South Bend

Gamers from across the region are headed to South Bend, this weekend.

The Century Center's Bendix Arena, the area's only dedicated eSports facility, hosts PWR^ South Bend. It's a three day eSports convention and tournament, welcoming players from across the region, including Illinois and Ohio.

Along with competing, organizers say it's a great chance for younger folks to learn about a career in video games or eSports.

“Video games are larger than just eSports. There's so many more opportunities. So it’s just a place to learn about how to bring those things together, how to connect them,” Pwr^ South Bend organizer Brian Exner said.

PWR^ South Bend is Dec. 17-19. People wanting to compete can register at the door. More details at https://pwrupsb.com/
