Mobile MOBA Vainglory gets a spectator mode, its first step toward e-sports play

Vainglory takes its first steps toward competitive play.

Mobile multiplayer online battle arena game Vainglory sees the addition of a private spectator mode in its newest update, available today. San Mateo, Calif.-based Super Evil Megacorp says that this is one of the most requested features from its player base. This addition makes Vainglory more conducive to broadcasting, further strengthening Vainglory’s potential as a professional-level e-sports game. Research firm Newzoo predicts that e-sports will hit revenues of $465 million in 2017.
