Dignitas (DIG) have announced a new partnership telecommunications giant Verizon, which will see the building of a 5G-connected esports training facility in Verizon’s Los Angeles-based 5G Lab.

The 5,522-square-foot building will be powered by Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network, and will become the LCS team's exclusive West Coast headquarters.

We’re thrilled to partner with the largest ownership group in esports, and have our LA Lab be home to the nation’s first 5G esports training facility.
With 5G’s fast speeds, high bandwidth and low latency, players will be able to do things like stream high-quality gameplay in real-time, stay connected with fans on-the-go, and experience console quality multi-player gaming on their phones.
