The
mainstage of Rabo Esports Stadium, as part of H20 Esports Campus

known for its loudspeakers and audio equipment for both the consumer and
the business market. The European headquarters is located in Purmerend. The
implementation is also done by an installer from Purmerend: Pro
Systems. All parties are therefore proud of this 'local' partnership with international
international ambitions.

Dirk Tuip from H20 Esports Campus: "Bose is
Bose is of course a familiar name to everyone. As H20, we actually wanted to work with Bose from the
Bose from the start of the project, because they stand for the top, but even more so because their

Bose, Pro Systems and H20 Esports Campus have shown their best side during this

very happy that we were professionally guided in our choice and selection of sound by the gentlemen of

Bosesimulation programme

Bose consultant Arno Mulder: "Thanks to the advanced simulation program "Bose Modeler", Bose has made an accurate calculation to achieve an even coverage of the sound signal in the entire hall. As a result, every seat in the auditorium has high-quality sound.

The Bose RoomMatch features DeltaQ
technology. DeltaQ Array technology enables the sound from each
array module to a greater or lesser extent towards the audience or surfaces such as walls and
walls and floors, for example, to prevent reflections from the walls and/or to
walls, for example, and/or to provide the same sound level throughout the room.

Pro Systems Purmerend

Pro Systems from Purmerend is also proud of the collaboration: "H20 is a very special project with specific requirements. It therefore took some time before we had the right alignment between all parties within the set budget. Everything has now been ordered and the implementation is being prepared. After the implementation, we will also do the maintenance together with the team of H20. The events that will be held here can count on the best sound."

Gamers First moves with production team and esports competitions to Rabo Esports Stadium Amsterdam

Gamers First, Esports Competition Operator & Broadcast Producer, will move into the Rabo Esports Stadium Amsterdam before the end of 2019. H20 esports and Gamers First will enter into a strategic partnership. The productions: Dutch College League, Benelux Premier League and Mijndomein Masters have a fantastic new location. Gamers can get used to playing in a stadium with a professional internship.

H20 looking for esports knowledge.

Dirk Tuip founder of H20:

"Over the past few months, we have spoken to many parties in the Netherlands. Most of them have been active in the world of esports for some time. Especially because we don't have the specific knowledge of this world. We are therefore looking for parties who can contribute this knowledge in different areas. In addition, we have noticed that the Dutch esports and gaming world itself has good initiatives. But it is difficult to raise these to a higher level and at the same time guarantee continuity."

*Dutch Counterstrike and League of Legends fans and players next year in Rabo esports Stadium*

Experience in esports productions

Joost Roset of Gamers First literally experienced this with Gamers First. Matthijs Vink co-founder at H20 had this to say:

"In recent years, Gamers First has had several locations that had potential but were not designed for esports. In short there are no locations where esports and gaming are central. This put the brakes on them, although the potential for growth is absolute. With this partnership, we hope to offer (semi-) professional esports competitions with a location they deserve. Of course we expect to be able to make a big leap forward with the production value of the broadcasts.

The joint (media) exploitation brings the unique esports event location of H20 together with the highest echelon in the field of esports competitions and TV and broadcast productions of Gamers First. Hopefully this will benefit the entire industry. Moreover, thanks to this step, Gamers First can focus much more on what they are really good at. H20 adds to this its long experience in the field of top sports, marketing and commerce." Gamers First and H20 are looking forward to the first joint productions."

The collaboration with Gamers First brings together two unique forces.

Dirk Tuip: We don't believe in a closed system and are pleased to have a partner on board who has the same mindset in that way. Rabo Esports Stadium Amsterdam wants to facilitate and become an ecosystem for everyone interested in esports, gaming and creative tech.

We therefore hope that other parties will follow. In the Netherlands we can get a real training institute and a permanently equipped stadium that is suitable for national and international tournaments. This is only possible by working together. Joost has already helped us enormously in recent months with his knowledge in the field of broadcasting and productions."

Dutch College League and Benelux Premier League

The move to H20 means that the Mijndomein Masters (Counterstrike: Global Offensive), the Dutch College League and the Benelux Premier League (both League of Legends, the latter in partnership with the game developer Riot Games) will be organised and broadcast from the Rabo Esports Stadium from 2020. Joost Roset: "We have been looking for a long time for professionalization, especially in the field of location, marketing and commerce. With Matthijs and Dirk, and with this step, we expect to take our entire organisation and the productions we organise to a more professional level in all facets."

Roset continues: "This is a new development that also takes time. The market in the Netherlands is of course smaller than in America or Asia. We have had quite a few conversations lately, but I am very happy with this cooperation and hope that we can now grow further."

Rabobank and H20 unite young people in the first esports stadium in the Netherlands.

contThe Netherlands will soon have its first esports stadium. Over the next three years, Rabobank and H20 will join forces to bring young people together at the Rabo Esports Stadium Amsterdam. In addition, the parties want to stimulate innovation in creative tech start-ups and companies. Rabobank Waterland en Omstreken and H20 esports announced this news today in Cologne during Gamescom 2019, the largest game fair in the world.

Connecting young people and entrepreneurs together.

Eric Zwart, CEO of Rabobank Waterland en Omstreken:

"For young people, the world is open to the future at the Rabo Esports Stadium in Amsterdam. The great thing is that we can connect the young people here in real life. In addition to gaming, H20 is also making a strong commitment to education. Together we can teach the youth to play responsibly.

In addition, at the esports stage, business space will be created for game- and tech-related companies. Because they can easily meet each other, it offers opportunities for entrepreneurs to come up with innovative plans together. It can act as a catalyst for economic growth for the Waterland region, which is an important part of the Amsterdam metropolitan region. This, together with the broad support of the municipality and the education sector, means that we enthusiastically enter into cooperation with H20. Our mission is to work together to create a better world for young people and entrepreneurs".

Esports to a higher level in the Netherlands

Founder Dirk Tuip of H20 esports:

"Internationally, esports has already grown into a billion-dollar industry. As a result there are now professional teams, games in sold-out stadiums, millions in prize money and gaming clubs where visitors pay to play games. We have great ambitions to make the Netherlands part of this industry.

We are therefore very proud that Rabobank dares to take this step with us. This is one of the first structural esports sponsorship deals. Hopefully it will be a start and more major parties in the Netherlands will follow. Together we can structurally embrace esports and gaming. The next generation is waiting for this. As a result, more and more companies want to make the connection with this new generation, which is often also very techminded."

Rabo esports stadium Amsterdam

What's next at the esports stadium? Dirk Tuip continued:

"Ofcourse we want all kinds of esports matches, tournaments and gaming events to be organised in the Rabo Esports Stadium Amsterdam. After all we have all the necessary facilities available. Think of: broadcasting, a place for shoutcasters, a stage with players desks, playgrounds, etc. There is also a gaming club. This is comparable to a sports club, where one can improve individually or as a team in gaming with high quality gaming gear, such as PCs and accessories.

The Rabo Esports Stadium Amsterdam is set to open somewhere at the end of this year.
