Annandale’s Hunter-M E-Sports is for the serious gamer

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.

The rate is $5 an hour. For members, it’s $4 for one hour, $21
for six hours, and $36 for 12 hours. A lifetime membership is $10. Members have
to be at least 14 years old. Children under 9 aren’t allowed in the facility.

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.
