Triller partners with Irony Esports and GamerzArena, Joins Free Fire Christmas League as the LIVE Entertainment Partner; Winners stand a chance to win cash prizes worth INR 1 lakh
AI-powered global platform Triller, has today announced their partnership with Irony Esports, a community-first esports platform and GamerzArena, India’s leading esports tournament platform. This partnership comes forth as Triller joins the Free Fire Christmas League as the live entertainment partner. The mobile esports tournament that began on 28th December has 1096 teams competing for cash prizes worth INR 1 lakh. |
Free Fire is a great example of the hugely popular mobile esports genre called ‘battle royale’, where a group of players are dropped from a plane across a large map and must scavenge weapons and fight until only one winner remains. Over the past decade, this concept has become one of the most definitive trends in internet culture; not just as a dominant form in online gaming but also powering the meteoric success of screen hits such as The Hunger Games and Squid Game alongside video games such as Free Fire. The unpredictable gameplay and the intensity and chaos of ‘few’ versus ‘many’ make for compelling content that is watched by Gen-Z and young millennials.
Free Fire is also one of the highly-rated mobile games on the Play Store and the most-watched mobile esports title in India on YouTube LIVE. The Free Fire Christmas League will be live-streamed on ESports Wala Youtube, and Triller TV live. The live broadcast of the tournament will also be featuring performances by famous Triller artists and creators.
