Singapore may not compete for gold in many Olympic events, but the tiny city-state is emerging as a force in a different kind of sport: mobile and video games.
In May, Singapore hosted the Free Fire World Series, which garnered a peak viewership of 5.4 million — the highest-ever for any esports match outside of Chinese platforms, according to Esports Charts.
Then, last month, the nation opened its first esports experiential center, equipped with world-class live-streaming and pro-esports facilities.
