There were times when the idea that esports on mobile could become as big as it is on PC sounded ridiculous. Some suggested that smartphone games were less complex, and therefore less interesting to watch as a competitive sport. Others believed players are simply less loyal to mobile titles, rendering them unsustainable as a recurring event.

Just this week, Tencent-owned Supercell said some of the biggest names in esports are going to battle it out in this year’s inaugural Clash Royale League.
North America is represented by Team SoloMid, 100 Thieves, Cloud9, compLexity, Counter Logic Gaming, NRG, Tribe Gaming, and Immortals. Europe’s competition will feature Team Liquid, Fnatic, SK Gaming, G2 Esports, Team Queso, Team Dignitas, Allegiance, SK Gaming, and Misfits.
