In a press release, ESL revealed that the SPS Free Fire will kick off with the Mobile Open in Latin America. The company also confirmed that top teams will have a chance to make it to international events. However, no details about this have been revealed yet.
Clash of Clans
The SPS Clash of Clans will feature a higher stake this year. This is because the tournament will provide a slot at the official Last-Chance Qualifier for the Clash of Clans World Championship Finals.
CoD Mobile
ESL hasn’t revealed many details about CoD Mobile in the SPS yet. The company has said, however, that there will be more opportunities for the global player base to compete on the world stage. It remains to be seen what that is.
Furthermore, 2024 is a crucial year for CoD Mobile esports. With the release of Warzone Mobile, many players are wondering how Activision aims to balance the two games together, considering they appeal to overlapping audiences.
