ESL Faceit Group Expands Snapdragon Pro Series in Year 3

The Snapdragon Pro Series, the mobile esports tournament series from ESL Faceit Group and Qualcomm Technologies, is about to enter its third year. The total prize pool has grown to almost 4.4 million US dollars.

ESL Faceit Group and Qualcomm Technologies have announced an expanded roadmap for Year 3 of the Snapdragon Pro Series (SPS), the world's largest multi-title mobile esports league. Seasons 5 and 6 of the competition will feature the largest prize pool of up to nearly 4.4 million USD. Competitors will have the opportunity to compete in seven games including Brawl Stars, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Garena Free Fire, Clash of Clans and Call of Duty: Mobile. The SPS includes both local and international tournaments. Live spectators are always present at the major tournaments.

"The Mobile Masters are very important and special tournaments for us because we organise them all over the world and they bring together so many different esports communities and fans," said Simon Eicher, Director Game Ecosystems Mobile at ESL Faceit Group. "Mobile esports is no longer a niche - we are clearly demonstrating this together with Qualcomm Technologies, Activision Publishing, Moonton Games and Supercell. It is also very easy to get into mobile esports as the barriers are much lower than on PC or console".

The second year of the Snapdragon Pro Series saw nearly 1 billion games played (up 13,200 percent year-on-year) and 4.4 million registrations across the world, from regions in Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe, resulting in 23.7 million hours watched (up 231 percent year-on-year).

Fatih "Vere" Camgöz is a professional esports player from Germany, who has been active in mobile esports since 2017. He competed in Call of Duty: Mobile at the Snapdragon Pro Series last year. "I participate in SPS because I dream of competing at the highest level with the best players and teams. I want to push myself to the limit, get better and better, and eventually win the trophy on the biggest international stages. SPS gives new players interested in esports the opportunity to challenge themselves and reach for higher goals". With his team "Exclusive", Fatih finished second in SPS Seasons 3 and 4 in Europe and also qualified for the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship in December 2023.

"The level of investment we're seeing from publishers and exponential growth of the Snapdragon Pro Series underscores why mobile is the future of esports," said Sam Braithwaite, VP of Game Ecosystems, Mobile. "We're proud to continue our work with Qualcomm Technologies at the cutting-edge of competition and mobile technology to empower players with more opportunities to compete - from matches against their friends to seats on the world stage."
