In the coming year, the Snapdragon Pro Series aims to deliver an engaging mobile esports experience with more titles, a bigger prize pool, and an expanded competitive circuit. Here's a look at the Snapdragon Pro Series' Year 3 roadmap.
ESL FACEIT Group (EFG) and Qualcomm Technologies have released a detailed roadmap for the third year of their multi-title mobile esports league, the Snapdragon Pro Series.
Year 3 promises to build upon the achievements, successes, and milestones reached in its second year. The league saw nearly one billion matches played, recorded over 4.4 million player sign-ups globally, and resulted in 23.7 million hours watched. Notably, in 2023, the Call of Duty: Mobile esports circuit was integrated into the Snapdragon Pro Series.
With a prize pool reaching up to nearly USD $4.4 million, the mobile esports league's coming year (comprising Seasons 5 and 6) will feature the largest prize pool in the history of the Snapdragon Pro Series.
Sam Braithwaite, VP of Game Ecosystems, Mobile, at EFG stated:
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.
Ultimately, the mobile esports league aims to be an inclusive and, most importantly, competitive circuit as it allows players to compete in one of seven of the world's most popular mobile titles.
