Nowadays, CFML has become a leading name in mobile esports, now accessible through the Crickex App. When it was first established, the domestic mobile esports scene in China was almost nonexistent. Unlike traditional PC gaming, mobile esports requires no high-end gear or gaming environment—just a smartphone and a stable internet connection. This makes it more accessible and social, allowing players to compete and connect anytime, anywhere.
As mobile gaming grows into a daily habit, users become more willing to spend, and their expectations increase. Compared to PC games, mobile titles tend to be lighter and more entertainment-driven. While competitive standards must still be met, fans also want entertainment-rich experiences. Although events like CFPL had already laid a foundation, CFML had to grow gradually. Season 1 introduced the Super League, Season 2 evolved into a professional tournament with a clear promotion system, and Season 3’s All-Star Fantasy format won over fans by blending esports with traditional sports entertainment.
The CFML Autumn Season ran from August 18 to October 15 and generated a staggering 1.389 billion total page views, with over 3.71 million views per day during match broadcasts. These impressive stats reflect CFML’s strong competitive structure, organized schedules, and ability to continually spotlight star players. Back when mobile esports was barely more than a buzzword, CrossFire: Legends—built on the success of the CrossFire PC franchise—paved the way by bringing tactical shooter gameplay to mobile platforms. It preserved the core mechanics while innovating for the mobile experience, becoming a trailblazer in the genre.
Behind every successful game is a well-executed tournament ecosystem. Backed by over nine years of experience managing PC tournaments, CFM wasted no time launching its mobile league post-beta. Through constant iteration, CFML was born. The current autumn season is now reaching its most intense stage, with the semifinals kicking off on October 21. The winners of KB vs Qingjiu and AG vs SV will face off in the finals on November 11 for the ultimate championship trophy. According to reports, total viewership for the fall season has already exceeded 100 million.
As the semifinals and finals approach, these numbers are expected to skyrocket. This growth proves one thing loud and clear—CFML has far outpaced all other mobile FPS esports competitions. Its combination of professionalism and commercial appeal is setting a new benchmark for the entire mobile gaming industry. For fans looking to follow every moment, the Crickex App remains the fastest and most convenient way to stay connected.
