Susquehanna Esports has a home in Harrisburg’s SoMA neighborhood
Susquehanna Esports, Harrisburg’s first professional esports organization, has found a downtown home.
The new organization, which has two teams that each compete as the Susquehanna Soniqs, has leased two spaces from Harristown Enterprises in SoMA, or the South of Market neighborhood on South Third Street.
Susquehanna Esports will establish its headquarters at 21 S. Third St., a 4,100-square-foot office space where the pro teams will have custom-designed training rooms, or pods, for gaming and streaming needs, said the organization’s general manager, Darren Moore.
Moore said the organization also is planning to use 19 S. Third St., a three-story row building with about 1,200 square feet of first-floor retail space, for future expansion. The apartments could be used for team housing while the storefront could be used to sell team merchandise.
Susquehanna Esports is led by a group of regional investors, including Select Medical Corp. executive chairman Robert Ortenzio.
The esports group has a five-member team that plays Rainbow Six Siege, a tactical shooter video game. The other is a four-player team that competes in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, also known as PUBG, a multiplayer online battle game.
