  ABOUT BLACK ICE:

Founded in 2019, BLACK ICE is a Private Social Gaming Club and a Professional eSports Team.  Our social clubs are an opportunity for passionate gamers to play, meet new people, hang out, and connect with friends in a fun and highly energetic private club environment.  BLACK ICE also offers the opportunity for highly skilled gamers to try out and compete with the BLACK ICE ELITE – our professional eSports Team. BLACK ICE ELITE competes in high-level tournaments around the globe.

 

The Black Ice journey started in 2019, when they had the idea to bring a private social gaming club and professional eSports team to the Twin Cities.  Just as they were about to open COVID-19 shut down their grand opening.  Shortly after that, their original facility was severely damaged in the aftermath of the George Floyd incident, so they needed to find a new space. “It has been a journey,” said Faisal Hassan Co-founder of Black Ice.  “But we have taken the extra time to improve our facility and make sure Black Ice has the opportunity for everyone to be a part of the thriving eSports community.”
