On October 17, the Paris headquarters and gaming center of the esports organization Team Vitality, known as V.Hive, was targeted during widespread protests. According to official reports, the facility suffered significant damage as individuals broke through display windows to gain entry.
The incident resulted in the theft of various computer equipment and the loss of several trophies. Notably, the organization confirmed that the championship trophy recently won by their Counter-Strike 2 team at the StarLadder StarSeries in September was among the items stolen during the unrest.
Team Vitality CEO Neo expressed deep sorrow regarding the destruction of V.Hive, a space designed to provide affordable gaming access at 3.50 euros per hour. While emphasizing his support for the right to protest, he condemned the looting and destruction, noting that the venue was intended to foster community and connection among fans.
The organization confirmed that no staff or fans were injured during the event. V.Hive has suspended operations while the team conducts a full assessment of the damages, with further updates expected to be released in the future.
