French esports organisation Gentle Mates has inaugurated a new gaming house in Paris, a move designed to centralise its teams and strengthen the club’s infrastructure. The opening follows an 18-month renovation project and aims to provide a dedicated facility to support player development and daily performance management.
The new facility is intended to serve as the central hub for the club’s competitive rosters. The house is equipped with specific resources to streamline team activities and enhance training efficiency. A key objective is to better structure bootcamp periods for the teams, reducing travel requirements and increasing the focus on practice sessions and internal collaboration between players and coaching staff.
Upon entry, a ‘Hall of Fame’ showcases the club’s history, featuring trophies, iconic jerseys, and memorable merchandise. Beyond this symbolic area, the facility functions as a comprehensive workspace. It includes several dedicated practice rooms for different rosters, designed to replicate official competition conditions. A common living space is also available for team viewing sessions and communal activities, with a future gym area planned to support physical conditioning as part of the players’ routine.
In a statement, the organisation highlighted the practical benefits of the new space, noting it allows for “less travel, more training sessions, and more interaction between the various players, staff, and coaching.” They described the project as a “key step in structuring the club.”
The organisation also acknowledged the role of its partners, presumably Razer and monitor brand TCL, in equipping the various spaces with gaming gear and other amenities, stating they “played a key role in this project” and helped create an environment “designed for performance.” The total cost of the project was not disclosed, but more details were shown in a video published on YouTube (in French).
