About Zenos
ZENOS is built on a passion for esports and its biggest moments. Having been a part of it as competitors, organisers and fans, we cherish the unique atmosphere of a live show.
We choose the stadium over the stream every time.
With ZENOS Stadium, we are building a platform that combines the best of both worlds: to create the most exciting experience in esports and bring you much closer to the game.
Our Values
We change the meta
We don't settle for the status quo. We believe in always pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
We empower communities
We enable fans, teams, organizations and brands - giving them new tools to experience, express and live their passion for esports.
We win together
We achieve our goals as one team - we celebrate both our highs and lows collectively & no-one is left aside.
BRINGING ESPORTS FANS CLOSER
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring the intense excitement and joy of a live event to every fan around the world. We do it by partnering with publishers, organisers, teams, brands and creators. Together we build previously impossible experiences, with endless creative opportunities.
We bring esports fans closer to the shows, games and teams that they love. By bringing the true feeling of a live event into a virtual world, ZENOS Stadium aims to be home to the most memorable and unique events in gaming.
Our vision
The future of live entertainment is immersive, interactive, and accessible from wherever, whenever. Say goodbye to the limitations of 2D screens. There is a better way.
Imagine if you could only ever watch football matches on TV and never experience a real-life stadium. What if the stadium came to you? This is the vision that ZENOS Stadium delivers.
