On being named brand ambassador, Tiger Shroff said:

“I am really excited to collaborate with Esports Premier League.

As most of the Indian population are young people, Tiger Shroff will connect Esports to the mainstream, given his passion for sports and mixed martial arts.

Talking about the partnership, ESPL Director Vishwalok Nath said:

“One of the major goals for ESPL has been to reach out to every millennial and gamer in the country and our purpose of having Tiger Shroff onboard has been to create a much deeper connection and grow the gaming community.

“We hope this association will also further our initiative to intensify of taking Esports to the next level in India.”

Hundreds of thousands of teams from all over the country registered to enter the ESPL.

But Hyderabad Hydras is the first team to enter the ESPL.

Other city-based teams include Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Bengaluru.

Matches will be streamed on OTT platform Disney+Hotstar alongside the official YouTube and Facebook channels of India Today and Aaj Tak.

As there will be over 700 online matches, more than 300 hours of gaming content will be streamed.

Popular battle royale game Garena Free Fire will be the main game during the ESPL.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the inaugural season will be held virtually over a period of two and a half months.

The total prize pool with Rs. 25 Lakh, with the winning team taking home Rs. 12 Lakh (£11,500).

Second and third-placed teams will be awarded Rs. 6 Lakh (£5,800) and Rs. 3 Lakh (£2,900), respectively.
