Ask the Community: When would you feel most comfortable attending in-person esports events? 1. Open them up now with safety measures in place. 2. Wait until cases of covid-19 begin to drop regionally. 3. Not until a vaccine is ready (keep online play active).... Feel free to comment with ideas and suggestions. Thanks and be well. See more

Your STUFF! Hey gamer guys and gals... we are in the purge process at KOESA's storage areas. We are determining what belongs to KOESA and what belongs to the community. Controllers, systems, games etc. If you have left items at the KOESA location please message us soon. We are cleaning up the "lost and found". We won't be posting up anything so if you know you have something here please message ASAP and arrange a pickup time. Items left beyond May 31st may be discarded. Thanks in advance.

We hope everyone is doing well and keeping up your game! We miss all of our members and as our city, state and country work toward reopening business with safety and health in mind... we want to give you an update on KOESA. Esports has made massive strides to more online tournaments and streaming content over the last few weeks. We are encouraged by this and hope each of you are practicing at home. As for KOESA, opening our doors to public gaming is many weeks if not months a...way. We are considered both sports and entertainment venue and as such are partially in California's 3rd and 4th phases of reopening. We are in discussion with 2 large event organizers to possibly host a gaming tournament in an outdoor or well ventilated and safe environment later in the year. This isn't the news that many want to hear but we feel strongly in keeping the public and players safe. We know that some event organizers are already planning on hosting events in some public capacity and we would hope that these organizers wait until the city and state give guidelines for doing so. Not adhering to these guidelines and opening publicly too quickly would jeopardize health and safety and possibly leading to longer delays in reopening. For now... stay safe... stay home as much as possible and game on! See more

Knockout is open for Open Play! For the foreseeable future, we will be be limiting the amount of players within and practicing good spacing within our players to protect everyone. Plus, hours will be limited, from 2pm-8pm daily, and will be gauged accordingly. We thank our players, members and community for your continued support and safety practices. GAME ON!!!

So its raining...come in out of the weather and lab the night away! To better spread ourselves out, KO's first "Face off" station is available for play. One console, two monitors, plenty of elbow room...

We are committed to our customers and the safety of our gamers. Blue Shell Inc (Blue Shell Gaming & Collectibles and Knockout esports Arena) are taking extra me...asures to ensure our stores maintain a clean environment. We have placed extra cleaning supplies in each location and have instructed our staff to wipe down all surfaces throughout the day. BSG will also be taking extra time with new trades to clean items prior to placing them onto our sales floor for the public to purchase. Staff will take extra time after each trade transaction and throughout the day to wash their hands as this has shown to be our best defense against spreading viruses. KOESA is limiting our occupancy to 25 players for all events so that we can keep a safe distance between players and avoid crowded spaces. We ask that our customers take the time to wash your hands before visiting our stores and after as our community presses to curve the spread of viruses. Our Blue Shell Inc family thanks all of our customers for your continued support during these times. As a locally owned family business we are committed to keeping our services available to you while many of our gamers find relaxation in their gaming and competitive play. As we understand small businesses will feel the impact of our current situation, BSG and KOESA stands with our small business community as we discuss ways to ensure keeping our doors open and our staff paid. We encourage our nearly 8,000 social media followers to support local businesses across Central California as we will see the biggest financial impact during this time. Thank you, Blue Shell Inc.
