Following a successful inaugural edition of the Mobile Game Tournament in August 2020, organizers the Lagos ESports Forum (LESF) and The AfroGamer have announced a Season 2 in October, 2020.
The first season featured over 250 mobile gamers taking part in 3 mobile games – Ludo King, 8 Ball Pool and Naija Whot played over 3 weeks with winners and runners up rewarded with cash and other prizes.
In a joint press statement to announce plans to go ahead with the season 2, Sayo Owolabi, Founder of Lagos ESports Forum (LESF) said that mobile gaming is a great way to engage both casual, hyper-casual and pro-gamers beyond the many challenges associated with console or PC gaming. He further stated that “there has been a yearning by mobile gamers for something competitive and that is the gap we have bridged with the Mobile Game Tournament”.
The organizers also confimed that players will compete in 4 different games in the season 2 of the tournament. According to Ife Akintaju, CEO of The AfroGamer, Ludo King and 8 Ball Pool will make a return while Soccer Stars and Call Of Duty (COD) mobile are added to complete the roster of mobile games to be competed in.
