TenGig wants to showcase Chattanooga’s tech with an esports festival

Esports is headed to Gig City. Chattanooga, Tennessee, has the fastest internet in the U.S., and the upcoming TenGig Festival intends to make the most of that. From October 6 to 8, TenGig will be hosting tournaments for the massively multiplayer online shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and the multiplayer online battle arena League of Legends. It will also feature panels on technology and innovation and a pub crawl for the 5-v-5 arcade machine Killer Queen.

The festival name comes from Chattanooga’s 10 gigabytes-per-second upload and download speed, which the city’s mayor Andy Berke says has invigorated its tech industry.
