The Esports Federation of India (EFSI) has released the first-ever national ranking system based on the open ranking tournaments played in the last two months to determine the best performing smartphone gamers in the country. In its bid to streamline esports as well as bring in legitimacy among the gamers involved, EFSI released the national rankings for Call of Duty Mobile (Battle Royale), FreeFire, and Valorant, some of the most popular video games played in the country. Team Resilience, Checkmate, and Adbhut Esports teams have topped the individual categories in the national rankings, the EFSI announced on Monday, January 25.
The performances of 60, 65, and 26 open matches for these rankings for Call of Duty Mobile, FreeFire, and Valorant that were conducted during the period of November to December in 2020 were considered while announcing these rankings. “With Esports being included as a medal event at the 2022 Asian Games among other major Championships, it is important that we follow all the necessary requirements like in any other medal sports to determine the best players of the country. In the month of November and December, we organised several scrims and there have been huge responses in these events. While the gamers (athletes) showcased great technique and competitive, each scrim was keenly contested before the champions were declared,” ESFI Director Lokesh Suji said while making the announcement.
Team Resilience, that came first in the rankings, scored 682 points during the matches and were declared the top team in the Call of Duty (Mobile) category followed by Team Revolution, who scored 629, and team Zelotz 2EZ, that scored 627.
