Amazon has wrapped up its Mobile Masters Las Vegas eSports tournament with three competitors winning a share of the $70,000 prize pool.

The event was held at the Millenial eSports Arena at Neonopolis in Las Vegas and was presented in partnership with eSports Productions and ESL.

Vainglory winners Team SoloMid took home $50,000 of the prize money following an undefeated run through the competition. Team HateUsMore won the World of Tanks Blitz tournament and $5,000, while solo player DunkSB412 won $10,000 in the Power Rangers: Legacy Wars tournament.

Showing off

"We're honoured that Amazon chose to hold Mobile Masters Las Vegas at the Millennial eSports arena. This partnership is testament to the rapid growth of the mobile eSports industry and we're thrilled to have shown off our state-of-the-art venue to a new audience," said Alex Igelman, CEO of Millennial eSports.

"The event was a roaring success, and we look forward to working with Amazon Appstore again."

The Mobile Masters Las Vegas tournament was announced back in September 2017. Critical Force's FPS Critical Ops was set to appear at the event, but was pulled at the last minute due to the recent mass shooting in the city.
