The Esports Awards 2020 declared some notable nominees this year, as Free Fire wins the award for Esports Mobile Game of the Year. This is the first time the mobile category was introduced, as PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile lost the treacherous battle to Free Fire.
Free Fire Producer Harold Teo expressed his gratitude and said, “The rest of the nominees in this category are amazing games. So it is truly an honor to receive this on behalf of the team.” Further continuing, “This award is definitely dedicated to our communities around the world, fans, players, and partners. Thank you all for supporting us, voting for us, and making Free Fire such a competitive e-sports game.”
The other nominations included under the mobile category were PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends, Call of Duty: Mobile, Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, and Arena of Valor. In the first three quarters of 2020, Free Fire amassed over 225 million downloads. Free Fire is recognized notable for its incredible compatibility with low-end smartphones and other devices.
Earlier this year, it garnered over 80 million active users compared to its major competitors. As Free Fire incorporates quicker gameplay by cutting down the 100 players on the battlefield to 50, instigating more incidents of being caught in the middle of a firefight for an exciting experience. It also is favorable due to its extensive choices of weapons available for different players across the globe.
