If your home computer doesn’t cut it for serious gaming, Hunter-M E-Sports at 7031 Little River Turnpike in Annandale offers 70 high-end gaming computer stations 24 hours a day. Another 16 computer stations will be added soon.
Hunter-M E-Sports caters mainly to big online multiplayer games. The most popular games are Fortnite, League of Legends, Overwatch, Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft, and PlayerUnkown’s Battleground, says employee Tom Roberts.
Hunter-M E-Sports relocated from an office building on Hummer Road in Annandale, where it was called Seoul PC.
Some professional-level gamers have dropped by, says Roberts, and other players have come from out-of-state. Because Annandale is relatively close to the servers in Ashburn, there’s lower latency, meaning the computers are a split-second faster than those farther away, giving players a slight edge.
The center sells snacks and soft drinks, including Korean imports.
