Cricket Gangsta Debuts International eSports League - becomes the First Indian Company to partner with ‘Dubai Esports and Games Festival’

Cricket Gangsta, Creative Monkey Games' renowned Gully Cricket Real-Time Multiplayer for Mobile, has announced its partnership with Dubai Esports and Games Festival (DEF). This collaboration is noteworthy since Creative Monkey Games is the first Indian gaming business to link forces with DEF, cementing its standing in the international gaming industry.

"Our goal with the Cricket Gangsta game was to create the most fun and engaging 3D cricket game that captures the essence of gully cricket and brings it to mobile devices. We wanted to provide an authentic multiplayer experience that appeals to cricket enthusiasts and offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane for players who grew up playing gully cricket," said Deepak Aravind, Technology Entrepreneur and the Co-Founder and CEO of Creative Monkey Games.

Cricket Gangsta's partnership with Dubai Esports and Games Festival is a strategic move that signals their introduction into the worldwide eSports competition. The game is already extremely popular in India and other cricket-crazy countries. Cricket Gangsta hopes to attract a larger audience of cricket fans by extending its user base in foreign areas such as the Middle East, South Africa, and Tier 1 countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. The Middle East, in particular, is an important market for sports, particularly cricket.

"The collaboration with Dubai Esports and Games Festival will strategically help us expand our user base in the Middle East, which is also one of the essential markets for sports, especially cricket," added Deepak Aravind.

The Dubai Esports and Games Festival is scheduled to take place from June 21 to 25, 2023, at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai. Cricket Gangsta will be running the Cricket Gangsta DEF League'23 tournament from June 5th to June 24th. The regional online leaderboard tournament will be conducted in 12 countries, including India, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.

"We are excited to be part of the Dubai Esports and Games Festival and contribute to the growth of esports communities. Our DEF League tournament has already witnessed increased user engagement and rankings," said Deepak Aravind. "We are proud to see Cricket Gangsta ranking in the Top 10 in the Sports Games category on the App Store and Google Play Store."
