Super Evil Megacorp is grinding away on its goal of turning its Vainglory mobile multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game into an esport. It made some progress on that week with the launch of its Autumn Season of its official esports tournament.

The big update marks a milestone in the company’s attempt to make the game into an mass-market esport. If the company succeeds, it will dramatically improve its number of players, its retention, and the overall excitement around the game. The quarterly cadence for the tournaments is a promise that the Vainglory developer will offer fresh content every season.
