主场ESP电竞文化体验中心

Home ESP Esports Culture Experience Centre occupies Buildings 5 and 6 at 428 Tongpu Road in Putuo District, in the Changfeng Ecological Business District between Luding Road and the Middle Ring Road, next to Shanghai Children's Hospital and reachable by Metro Lines 2 and 13. Developed by SuperGen Group, it was one of China's earliest projects to pair an esports venue with a shopping centre. The retail portion opened on 23 June 2021, while the indoor arena, Shanghai KPL Esports Centre, had already begun operating on 28 May 2020. The whole scheme measures nearly 30,000 square metres. The arena seats 1,000 and includes supporter zones, VIP viewing areas, bullet-screen interaction, tipping and drone-delivery features. It became the main venue for the eastern division of the King Pro League (KPL) and the home arena of Team EDG.M, staging more than 300 matches a year as well as national qualifiers, community tournaments and university events. The commercial floors are themed around esports, anime, new cultural products and crossover retail, and have hosted China's first official GOOD SMILE COMPANY store and an Honor of Kings-themed scripted mystery pop-up. A 20-metre rose-gold criss-cross staircase in the atrium is the project's signature interior. In September 2020 Home ESP was rated a Class B esports venue in Shanghai's first grading. By stacking professional competition, player experience, IP retail and food and beverage in one building, it remains one of the city's earliest and largest examples of the esports-plus-retail model. The project also hosts Honor of Kings city qualifiers, community 'water-friend' matches and university tournaments, which keep the arena busy outside the professional calendar.
