Clash of the Royals
It's not just the big "AAA" titles on PC and console that are making the esports rounds. Supercell, the maker of mobile game Clash Royale, is kicking off its Pro League (CRL) on August 20 that will cover Europe, Asia, North America, and China. The prize pool is a massive $1 million that will see 44 teams compete against one another on the small screen.
More than 25 million players competed to qualify for the CRL earlier this year, resulting in less than 7,000 who were then shortlisted and signed by organizations.
