Twitterati praise MPL Esports Fundraiser for COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in many senses and has affected the day-to-day lives of millions. The unprecedented second wave of the deadly disease in India has had a devastating effect. In these challenging times, people from all walks of life have come together to fight the virus. Many gamers and influencers have conducted charity events and streams to this end as well.

On 15th May 2021, MPL Esports organised a fundraiser for COVID relief, in partnership with some of the most revered names in the Indian gaming community.

The funds collected will be donated to GiveIndia, a non-profit organisation, and will be used to provide oxygen supply and other equipment to patients that are currently fighting the disease.

Joining MPL Esports in this noble cause are prominent names like Animesh Agarwal (8bit Thug), Pratik Jogiya (Alpha Clasher), Chetan Chandgude (Kronten), Salman Ahmad (8bit MAMBA), Parv Singh (Soul Regaltos), Naman Mathur (Soul Mortal) and Tanmay Singh (ScoutOp).

48 percent of the gaming population in Asia are women (a study by Google & Niko). ESports companies like @PlayMPL are amping up efforts to make gaming a gender diverse in the truest sense of the world. @KirenRijiju
