Vainglory prepares its mobile MOBA esports season for Seattle and Cologne

Super Evil Megacorp isn’t pulling back on its plans to dominate esports on mobile devices.

The studio revealed today that Vainglory, a multiplayer online arena battler for the Amazon Appstore, the iOS App Store and Google Play, is getting its Summer Season Championships for North America and Europe regions in Seattle and Cologne, respectively. Competitive gaming is an $892 million business — and growing. Super Evil Megacorp is hoping to capitalize on the smartphone and tablet sector of this market while most other esports developers and companies focus on the PC. Holding official events like Vainglory Summer Season Championships is part of that overall effort to breathe life into competitive gaming on touchscreen devices.
