2022/2023 India Collegiate Esports Tournament Season Announced by Mobile Global Esports – 200+ Universities Contending in 70 Tournaments, Plus 'Millionaire Squad Challenge' and Game Development Competition

SAN CLEMENTE, CA and MUMBAI, INDIA / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2022 / Mobile Global Esports Inc. (NASDAQ:MGAM) the mobile esports and social platform company that holds trademark and IP rights for collegiate esports tournaments, teams and players in India, today detailed the upcoming 2022/2023 collegiate esports tournament season, as well as open national championships and a game development competition.

"1,297 esports teams have participated in 27 MOGO tournaments in India over the last 18 months, competing in games such as Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) and Valorant," said Mobile Global Esports CEO David Pross. "We are seeing significant growth in team entries, and we expect to have over 200 universities contending in the 70 tournaments for 10 games we have planned for the 2022/2023 academic year MOGO tournament season."

"In addition, last week, we opened registration for the ‘Millionaire Squad Challenge' in which the winning university ‘Call of Duty' team will win a million rupees and an opportunity to go pro as a MOGO-sponsored team. Millionaire Squad Challenge will be held in a four-zone format like MOGO's National Valorant and BGMI championships last year," Mr. Pross concluded.

In addition to funding tournaments and prize pools, proceeds from MOGO's recent NASDAQ IPO are also being used to support an esports game development competition in India.

"India has some of the best game developers and programmers in the world, and we want to support the development of a new Indian online multiplayer esports game," said Sunny Bhandarkar, head of MOGO Esports Pvt. Ltd. "We have announced an esports game development competition with a prize pool worth up to $500,000. We already have overwhelming interest from students at our partner universities and are looking at a timeline of slightly over one year to develop a superior game in India."
