More than 100 teams will be competing across Valorant and Free Fire. It comes with a prize pool grossing over Rs. 4.5 lakhs. There are more surprises but wait and watch out for our announcements.
The motto of the Yuvin Community Cup is to engage with esports communities across South Asia and SouthEast Asian regions and provide opportunities for knowledge-share to the players and serve Indian audiences with global esports engagement.
YCC Season Three is sponsored by a premium wear Indian brand, ONN by Lux. With this, ONN has entered the world of esports for the first time. With ONN’s focus on millennials and Gen Z young generation, esports is the most obvious choice to ride on.
Lux Industries president, marketing Saket Todi shared his excitement to engage with an esports brand for the first time. He mentioned, “The Yuvin Community Cup Season Three was a much-awaited tournament among the youth. It’s a one-of-its-kind esports festival between multiple gaming communities that has driven huge engagements in its last two seasons. ONN, being a youth-centric brand can resonate with the brand connect of the Yuvin Community Cup. Just as Yuvin Community Cup focuses on churning out leaders, likely, ONN as a brand is focusing on reaching out to a greater mass, understating the consumer sentiments and requirements. By supporting this tournament, we aim to make the products meet the desires and aspirations of the youth. This goes without saying, that both the brands enjoy a high youth appeal and are set to emerge as the most favourite of the new generation.”
