As mobile gaming gets more and more mainstream, processor company Qualcomm and Esports tournament organiser ESL Gaming have forged a partnership to come up with a mobile gaming league, named the Snapdragon Pro Series. The league will have three tiers of competition — Open, Challenge and Masters — and have around $2 million in prize money at stake.
The Snapdragon Pro Series will have tournaments in North America, Europe, the Middle-East, China, North Africa and Asia-Pacific.
Qualcomm will understandably use the tournament to leverage Snapdragon powered devices that are backed by Snapdragon Elite Gaming technology

“Qualcomm Technologies is all-in on gaming,” said Don McGuire, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Qualcomm Technologies. “In partnership with ESL, Snapdragon Pro Series will be an important additional pillar of our comprehensive gaming strategy allowing us to build category leadership in mobile esports globally,” he added.
