Esports Premier League has successfully concluded as one of the major Free Fire events in India. The organizers launched this event as a trailer of ESPL events and the response from community has been overwhelming so far. The tournament has reached several landmarks in its journey and Mr. Vishwalok Nath emphasized on them at the TalkEsport Interact interview series.
The director of ESPL, Vishwalok Nath, had a long conversation on ESPL, its several aspects and its future at TalkEsport Interact and revealed several key points regarding this tournament. He mentioned some of the feats and one of them is that ESPL is the world’s first franchised league tournament for Free Fire.
This achievement is also backed by many other highlights such as ESPL crossed more than one million registrations in its first ever season and the video views crossed the 100M threshold. This start has inspired the organizers to arrange ESPL on a much larger scale for the next year.
According to Mr. Nath, the registrations and views have increased ten times as compared to their first ever tournament called Free Fire India Today League. The registrations for this tournament reached a peak of 125,000 registrations and 12 million video views within a span of 1.5 years.
The organizers have taken this big jump as a positive sign and are looking to diversify ESPL in to different game genres and platforms in the upcoming years. Mr. Nath confirmed that they are planning to host ESPL for PC as well as Console titles but no definite names were suggested.
The next ESPL season of Free Fire will be action packed as similar to the IPL, it will have franchised teams supporting different cities. One of the franchised team has already been sold by the organizers and they are currently planning a layout through which the rest of the teams could be open for bidding before the tournament begins.
