Beaumont, CA - The City of Beaumont has joined forces with GGLeagues, an online esports gaming company, to bring in a new program that offers players a safe and fun way to participate in a community activity from home.
Esports is a rapidly growing competition venue around the world. While we are not going worldwide, we are going statewide by participating in the California Esports Rec League through GGLeagues.
