ESPL launched its amateur e-sports tournament platform in 2020 and within months was commissioned by three companies to run a tournament. In the same year, ESPL India signed a franchise agreement with PayTM, the largest e-wallet provider in India. The global community continued to grow in the years to come. While ESPL began its journey as an avenue to bring communities together, its proprietary tournament platform has risen to the challenge of managing multi-genre web2 tournaments for highly competitive esports titles including but not limited to Valorant, PUBG and Clash of Clans. ESPL is forging partnerships across both web2 and web3.
