Help Support Encore Esports

About Us

In April 2018 we opened our doors to the Westchester and surrounding gaming communities.

Our goal is to create a safe space where gaming communities can meet, play, learn, share, and grow. 

Our mission is to support and grow with any gaming community that wants a place to call their own. 

We actively support these communities by offering the space, equipment, time, and training that they need to achieve their personal and professional Esports goals. 

We continually use our platform to call attention to the players and people in our communities by showcasing their skills and performances. 

We continue to grow together with our gaming communities.


Working with the Community

In Fall of 2018, we created an Esports Club at New Rochelle High School (NRHS) that offers students access to all areas of Esports including broadcasting, journalism, commentary, management, team building, and playing.

We work with teachers and offer discounted admission to students who do well on tests and receive good grades.

We fundraised $1000 in the name of a NRHS student who was tragically killed in an automobile accident. We held a gaming tournament and awarded the winner a scholarship in his name for the money raised.

We assisted the Thornton-Donovan School in offering school trips at a reduced cost to students.

We have provided internships for college credit to students looking to pursue a career path in Esports by studying broadcasting, journalism, and computer science.

We continue to look for ways to assist all our communities.


Our Situation

The safety of our community is extremely important to us. We have been monitoring the Coronavirus virus (COVID-19) situation since the first cases were reported in our area.

In the interest of your safety, we previously decided to cancel all of our in-store events. As of March 23, 2020 we must close our doors.

In an effort to continually provide our community with events, we have created online tournament events and will create more in the weeks and months to come.

Here is how to join our online events:

- Smash Ultimate - Thursdays: https://smash.gg/ESWifi
- League of Legends - Alternating Sundays: https://smash.gg/ENCLeagueOnline
- Teamfight Tactics - Alternating Sundays: https://smash.gg/ENCTFTOnline

We will be updating this list as more events are created. 

100% of revenue from these online events go directly to paying Encore employees, rent, and bills. 


Our Future

Unfortunately, our bills, salaries, and rent are not canceled. 

If you can contribute to help Encore Esports stay in business through this crisis, please donate.

We appreciate your continued support through the good and the bad times and we will continue to update the community with our status throughout this trying process of dealing with COVID-19.

We welcome feedback and suggestions for what you think Encore should focus on when we reopen. We want to provide you—our community—with a place to meet, hangout, learn, and grow with like-minded individuals in an environment that meets your needs.

Donations

We appreciate any amount you can provide.

100% of your donations will go directly to paying our employees, rent, and bills. If you prefer to donate in a different way, please reach out to us on social media:
