CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“We hired HXC for Low Tier City 7. As an organization, Tourney Locator had not delved into the FGC community, outside of Super Smash Bros. We wanted LTC to be an event that was well rounded and had some legitimacy in the FGC, so we looked no further than HXC. HXC helped LTC 7 be an event for the ages, making it the fighting genre spectacle of 2019. I was extremely impressed with their knowledge of the games, the quality of their stream, their professionalism at the event, and just the pure efficiency they provided. Myself and Tourney Locator know that we are getting a premium product when we hire HXC.”

"I've trusted HXC to run my tournaments and broadcast my events for years and they have over-delivered every time. I would not want to host an event without them."

Ian “Vandy” DavisKumite Gaming

"Do you need a gaming event put on? Are you seeking meaningful consultation about the local sector and community as well as industry abroad? Are you looking for a collaborator to bring impactful opportunities to your community? HXC has done this for the entire Sooner Nation since 2017."

Mike "Moog" AguilarDirector of Esports & Co-Curricular Innovation, University of Oklahoma

We used HXC Gaming for Texas Showdown 2019 as we saw a growing need for production services for our event. What we got was a team that had extensive knowledge on how to run a live internet production that also functioned as an autonomous unit that could also run things from the tournament side. I knew that every time I looked in their direction, that I could trust them in keeping things on schedule and on point. I will definitely consider their services in any future events that we hold.

Javier MorenoTexas Showdown Championships

With how quickly esports is growing we can't lose sight of the fundamentals that are required to create amazing experiences at live events and competitions. HXC is a group that possesses the experience, ethic and skills to execute esports events from all facets of the industry. I've worked with Ricky and his team in numerous scenarios and they've always over delivered, even when the objective required strenuous planning and demanding timelines. HXC will remain on my short list of partners to work with when deploying events at our Localhost facilities across the country.
