Vainglory Wins Best Mobile Game at 2016 GLOMO Awards

World’s Leading Touchscreen eSport Honored at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

Barcelona — February 23, 2016 – Super Evil Megacorp’s Vainglory, the world’s leading touchscreen eSport, was today crowned the “Best Mobile Game” by the GSMA and Gamelab Mobile during the 2016 GLOMO Awards. The awards ceremony, held at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, recognizes the most innovative, immersive, thrilling and sophisticated mobile games and apps from 2015.

The award recognition is particularly significant as this year marked a new record in GLOMO competition with more than 930 entries received by the GSMA. Over 285 nominees were shortlisted for more than 40 awards over eight categories. The GLOMO Awards are judged by independent experts, analysts, journalists, academics and mobile operator representatives.

“It is an honor for Vainglory to be recognized as the ‘Best Mobile Game’ by the GSMA,” said Kristian Segerstrale, COO and Executive Director of Super Evil Megacorp. “The rate at which the Vainglory community has grown and the eSports competition has increased throughout 2015 has been incredible, and we cannot thank our players enough for their dedication across the globe. We are still early and have a lot to do in 2016, but we are very excited about progress so far!”

Vainglory is a battle between two teams (3 vs. 3 players who play with, and against, real people). Players control a single hero, and the team’s goal is to shatter a giant crystal called the Vain in the center of the enemy team’s base. The team that destroys the enemy’s Vain wins the game. Vainglory was the fastest growing mobile game of 2015 according to Twitch.

Following a very successful Vainglory Live Autumn Season Championships, the Winter eSports Season kicked off in January boasting a Lunar New Year-themed map skin including fireworks and other visually stunning effects in the Halcyon Fold. The Winter Championships for North America will be held at the Red Bull esports studio in Santa Monica from March 11-13 and the European event will be held in London at the Gfinity Arena from March 18-20. Tickets for both are now available and can be purchased for $12 at http://vainglorywinterna.eventbrite.com and http://vainglorywintereu.eventbrite.com.
