GIGL is expected to see 3.5 million winners across multiple games. MPL, which has 70 games across a wide variety of categories, could potentially create thousands of winners between Rs 1 lakh and 1 crore prize range during this league.
Namratha Swamy, Country Head – India, Mobile Premier League (MPL), said, “As the largest multi-game mobile gaming tournament, GIGL will provide access to mobile esports to a vast and diverse group of gamers across the country in line with our vision to democratise esports. We are confident that the tournament will see millions of players participating from across the country.
