Vitality closes Paris V.Hive venue after looting and equipment theft

Esports organisation Team Vitality temporarily closed its V.Hive venue in Paris after the premises were vandalised. The club said no staff members or visitors were injured.

The organisation reported broken display windows and the theft of trophies and computer equipment. The attack took place amid protests in Paris on October 17.

V.Hive combines gaming areas, a café and the club's shop. The venue's manager told Sheep Esports that it had been closed to both the public and staff when the attack occurred.

V.Hive will remain closed pending an assessment of the full extent of the damage, Vitality said. The organisation promised to provide further information later.
