Esports Premier League (ESPL) has partnered with smartphone
maker Infinix Mobile as the title sponsor for its inaugural edition. The tournament
wants to tap into the growing landscape of esports in the country to help the
competitive gaming community. This segment has received a significant boost in
the last year as an increasing number of users are spending time on smartphones
for gaming.
The India Today Group, which has forayed into esports, is
geared up to roll out Season 1 of the league from June 16. The league will
witness a massive total prize pool worth Rs 25 lakhs. It has teamed up with
Garena to create an exclusive gaming platform for Free Fire—the most popular
battle royale game currently played by gamers and gaming enthusiasts in India.
ESPL will enable players from across the country to showcase their skills on
this mega national stage for the first time.
The league will be streamed on multiple platforms including
OTT giant Disney+ Hotstar as well as the official YouTube and Facebook channels
of India Today and AajTak along with their websites.
