Virtex has confirmed its first-ever virtual event will take place inside the Virtex Stadium, a virtual esports stadium. The event will see the developer partner with the National Esports Professional Association to host an Echo VR competition for top teams in the game. Virtex Stadium audience members can float alongside players as they compete, bringing the event’s fun right to their fingertips. In addition to NEPA, Virtex has partnered with Modulate to moderate any voice communication for potential toxicity during the event.
"We want to bring fans as close to the action as possible and by removing the limitations of 2D screens, Virtex Stadium has created an experience that blows everything else out of the water. I can tell you personally how high-octane playing Echo VR at the highest level feels and the viewing experience Virtex Stadium provides is the closest you’re going to get," said Tim McGuinness, Founder and CEO of Virtex.
