Worlds 2025 Beijing Venue Deep Dive: Inside BSEC – The World’s First 5G+8K Esports Broadcasting Hub
Why Beijing Is the True Opening Battleground of Worlds 2025 While the entire world is looking forward to the 20,000-seat finals in Chengdu, the real story begins in Beijing Yizhuang. The Beijing Smart E-sports Center (BSEC), opened in 2023, has been selected by Riot Games to host both the Play-In stage and the entire Swiss stage of the 2025 League of Legends World Championship – a combined 12 days of high-intensity matches from October 14 to October 25, 2025.
A 200,000㎡ Sci-Tech & Culture Fusion Ecosystem Located in Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (also known as E-Town), BSEC covers approximately 200 acres with a total floor area of 200,000 square meters. Far beyond a traditional arena, it functions as a full-industry-chain park integrating competition venue, JDG Intel Esports Center (LPL’s only Beijing home stadium), club headquarters, training facilities, 5G+8K cloud broadcasting center, startup incubator, esports hotel, and education academy.
The Largest Outdoor Naked-Eye 3D Screen in Beijing The northwest façade features an 852–900㎡ curved LED naked-eye 3D screen – currently the biggest in Beijing – turning the entire building into a city landmark at night. During match days, it synchronizes with the indoor 680㎡+ P3 high-refresh-rate esports displays to extend the atmosphere from inside the 2,000-seat arena to the streets.
JDG’s Revolutionary “Trinity” Model BSEC houses the JD Gaming headquarters under one roof: main stage + training center + club offices. This “trinity” model guarantees year-round utilization and stable cash flow, solving the off-season problem that plagues most esports venues worldwide.
World-First 5G+8K Cloud Broadcasting Center In cooperation with the Academy of Broadcasting Science, BSEC is building China’s (and the world’s) first dedicated 5G+8K esports cloud production facility. 8K resolution, ultra-low latency, VR/AR multi-angle support, and cloud-based direction make it technically superior for broadcasting the marathon-like Swiss stage that requires 100+ hours of flawless live production.

- Fast-track household registration, children’s education, and medical benefits for top players and staff

These policies have attracted JDG and other top organizations, pushing Beijing into the global top 10 “Most Influential Esports Cities” in 2025.
