Snapdragon Pro Series in Year 3 gets expansion, to include seven games

Loading

The ESL FACEIT Group on April 3 announced an expanded roadmap for Year 3 of the Snapdragon Pro Series. Seasons 5 and 6 of this competition will feature the largest prize pool in its history, totaling nearly $4.4 million. Moreover, esports professionals will have a chance to battle in seven of the world’s most popular titles thanks to the Snapdragon Pro Series teaming up with top publishers like Activision Publishing, Inc., MOONTON Games, and Supercell.

This move comes as an extension of ESL FACEIT Group’s collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies Inc. to partner with Moonton Games to add more tournaments to the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang calendar. This means more events in the Snapdragon Pro Series — the world’s largest multi-title mobile esports league — to grow the highly successful discipline's competitive ecosystem.

The seven confirmed titles are:

• Brawl Stars
• MLBB
• Garena Free Fire
• Clash of Clans
• Call of Duty: Mobile
• Battlegrounds Mobile India
• Asphalt 9

Sam Braithwaite, VP of Game Ecosystems, Mobile, said:

"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. 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."

The Snapdragon Pro Series’ Year 3 roadmap includes a full slate of global competition beginning with Mobile Open across titles through the end of April and concluding with Mobile Masters in 2025. The biggest news from this move was the inclusion of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang as a Masters-level title in Southeast Asia. This was after the discipline announced its entry into the lucrative Esports World Cup 2024, the successor event to the Gamers8 showcase held annually in Saudi Arabia.

Year 3 will additionally feature expanded partnerships with MLBB developer MOONTON Games and Brawl Stars developer Supercell as well as the Call of Duty: Mobile esports circuit returning to the Snapdragon Pro Series for another full year to give fans more opportunities to watch, compete, and win in three of the most popular mobile titles.

Regarding Brawl Stars and the new multi-year partnership with Supercell, the Snapdragon Pro Series will be the global operator of the Brawl Stars Championship, bringing competition to players in more than 190 countries, with matches already underway. The ecosystem will host a live last-chance qualifier in August, giving players more ways to qualify for the World Finals later in the year.

There will also be events in Garena Free Fire and Clash of Clans, with the latter's tournaments in the Snapdragon Pro Series providing a pipeline to the title’s World Championship. More details on Seasons 5 and 6 of the series will be shared in the coming weeks.
