Following Brawl Stars’s official launch in 2018, the Supercell developed title has looked to expand its esports efforts over the last 12 months. The title’s 2021 esports ecosystem structure includes a range of monthly events, with the top 16 teams earning a spot at the Brawl Stars World Finals.
According to Esports Charts, last year’s Brawl Stars World Finals recorded a peak viewership of 258,446.
Esports Insider says: The idea to launch a dedicated competition in LATAM should boost the game’s popularity within the region. Latin America has recently become a hotbed for mobile esports given the immense popularity of Free Fire, so it’s no surprise to see Supercell look to strengthen its reach in the region.
In addition, it’s very interesting to see some of the biggest football clubs in LATAM come together to compete in the Brawl Stars Master League. Only time will tell if the event proves to be a success.
