SingTel’s GamesXtremeLeague (GXL) Mobile platform is a regional mobile games platform with features such as registration, community news and ranking of scores, provided exclusively to the SingTel Group.

Players across the region will be engaged first on an online championship followed by a ground event in some countries where the national champions will be selected. These national champions will be then flown down to Singapore in November for the Grand Finals where they will compete with other participants across the world to be the ultimate winners.

Indiagames CEO Vishal Gondal says, "We are very happy to associate with SingTel’s GamesXtreme League Mobile to power first ever World Cyber Games Mobile Championship. We are sure gamers across Asia Pacific will truly enjoy this unique experience put together by Indiagames in collaboration with SingTel and Bridge Mobile."

SingTel vice president (consumer marketing) Thomas Yeo says, "We are meeting the needs of an avid and growing pool of mobile gamers by bringing the whole playing experience to a new level. Instead of just competing against players in their own country, they can now challenge the best in the region and the world. Beyond the exhilaration and thrill of gaming for the players, we hope to give them a platform to be recognised internationally."

Bridge Mobile CEO Dr Patrick Sim says, "Bridge Mobile is proud to partner with SingTel, Indiagames and our other operator members in pioneering the first and largest mobile gaming championship in Asia Pacific.
