Frequently Asked Questions Component
Scan has been part of the UK gaming and esports scene since 2006, supporting competitive gamers, creators, and events as PC gaming has grown over the years. From early LAN events to today’s professional esports tournaments, Scan has focused on building high-performance gaming PCs designed for competitive play.
Today, that experience continues through gaming PCs, esports-ready systems, and solutions for teams, education, and businesses.
Esports combines competitive gaming, technology, and a huge global community, making it a natural fit for Scan. It brings together players, creators, teams, and organisations who all share a passion for gaming, from local communities to professional tournaments.
By supporting esports, Scan helps gamers compete, train, stream, and create using high-performance PC hardware. This includes everything from home gaming setups to professional team environments and larger esports facilities.
Esports hardware has changed massively over time. Early gaming PCs focused mainly on achieving playable frame rates and stable performance. Today’s systems are built for ultra-fast response times, high frame rates, and smooth, reliable gameplay during intense competition.
Modern esports technology has also become far more advanced. Competitive monitors have evolved from 60Hz displays to 240Hz, 360Hz, and even 500Hz+ panels, while some esports mice now weigh under 50 grams for faster movement and improved precision. Faster peripherals, improved cooling, and lower-latency hardware have all helped create the smooth, responsive experience expected in modern competitive gaming.
Some of the world’s biggest esports games include competitive shooters, MOBAs, and battle royale titles that attract millions of players and viewers worldwide. Popular examples include:
- Counter-Strike 2
- League of Legends
- Valorant
- Dota 2
- Fortnite
- Call of Duty
These games are known for fast-paced gameplay, high skill levels, and large competitive communities supported by global tournaments and professional teams.
Hardware plays a major role in competitive gaming because it affects how quickly and smoothly a game responds. While player skill is still the most important factor, reliable hardware helps reduce input lag, frame drops, and performance issues during important moments.
A strong esports setup usually includes a fast CPU, a graphics card designed for high frame rates, fast memory and storage, plus a high refresh rate monitor and responsive peripherals. Together, these help create a smoother and more consistent gaming experience for competitive players.
