The event was attended by Kerala Chief Minister Sri. V. D. Satheesan along with several other Ministers, MLAs, public representatives and prominent personalities.

Kochi, Kerala — September 2026: A new chapter in Kerala's esports journey began in Kochi as the Infinite Pro League Launch Tour – Kochi, powered by Revolution Games, concluded as part of TechCon26 at KINFRA.

The Launch Tour marked the first major public event of Infinite Pro League, an esports league built around the vision of creating a structured competitive ecosystem where players can compete, establish competitive records, earn recognition and progress from players to athletes.

Held alongside TechCon26, the Launch Tour brought competitive esports into a major technology, innovation and startup gathering, connecting the gaming community with a wider audience of technology enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, students, creators and industry stakeholders.

The event featured competitive tournaments in eFootball Mobile and Revo Racers, the Made-in-India racing game from Revolution Games.

The Launch Tour recorded 18,000+ onsite attendees, 1,500+ player registrations, participation from all 14 districts of Kerala, and 1 million+ social media reach.

The event also witnessed the presence of Kerala Chief Minister Sri. V. D. Satheesan, along with several other Ministers, MLAs, public representatives and prominent personalities attending TechCon26.

Adding to the significance of the competitions, actor-turned-MLA Sri. Ramesh Pisharody distributed the prizes to the winners of the eFootball Mobile competition, while Minister for General Education Sri. N. Samsudheen distributed the prizes for the Revo Racers competition.

For Infinite Pro League, Kochi was not simply a tournament.

It was the beginning.

The Beginning of Infinite Pro League

Infinite Pro League was created with a clear objective: to build a structured competitive esports ecosystem where players have opportunities to compete consistently, develop their competitive identity, earn recognition and progress towards becoming esports athletes.

The organization was founded around the philosophy:

Where Players Become Athletes.

The Launch Tour was the first major opportunity to take that vision from an idea into a physical competitive environment.

Players, creators, partners, associations, technology organizations and spectators came together under one platform, creating the foundation for what Infinite Pro League aims to develop into a larger competitive ecosystem.

Rather than viewing every esports tournament as an isolated event, Infinite Pro League aims to connect competitions through rankings, athlete records, recognition and future opportunities.

The Kochi Launch Tour became the first major chapter of that journey.

A Major Government and Public Presence

The Launch Tour took place within the wider TechCon26 ecosystem, which brought together government representatives, technology leaders, startups, students, entrepreneurs and members of the digital economy.

The event was attended by Kerala Chief Minister Sri. V. D. Satheesan, along with several other Ministers, MLAs, public representatives and prominent personalities.

The presence of public representatives at the technology and esports gathering provided an opportunity for competitive gaming to be showcased alongside Kerala's broader technology and innovation ecosystem.

The prize distribution ceremonies also brought public figures directly onto the esports stage.

Actor-turned-MLA Sri. Ramesh Pisharody presented the prizes to the winners of the eFootball Mobile competition.

Minister for General Education Sri. N. Samsudheen presented the prizes to the winners of the Revo Racers competition.

These moments became memorable parts of the first Infinite Pro League Launch Tour, placing the achievements of esports competitors directly in the spotlight.

Revolution Games — Title Partner

Revolution Games powered the Infinite Pro League Launch Tour as the Title Partner.

The partnership brought Revo Racers, Revolution Games' Made-in-India racing game, to the Launch Tour and made the title one of the two major competitive games featured at the event.

The collaboration also provided a platform to showcase an Indian-developed game to thousands of visitors at one of Kerala's major technology gatherings.

The Revo Racers competition became one of the major attractions of the Launch Tour, combining competitive gaming with the excitement of motorsport-inspired racing.

TechCon26 — Event Partner

The Infinite Pro League Launch Tour was conducted as part of TechCon26, which served as the Event Partner.

Held at KINFRA, Kochi, TechCon26 brought together the technology, startup, innovation and digital ecosystem under one platform.

The partnership gave Infinite Pro League the opportunity to take competitive esports beyond the traditional gaming audience and place it within a broader technology and innovation environment.

The integration of esports into TechCon26 allowed visitors to experience competitive gaming alongside technology, startups, entrepreneurship and emerging digital industries.

For Infinite Pro League, this represented an important part of its vision: positioning esports as an important component of the wider digital and technology ecosystem.

Esports Federation of India — Federation Partner

The Esports Federation of India (ESFI) joined the Launch Tour as the Federation Partner.

The involvement of ESFI connected the Kochi Launch Tour with India's organized esports ecosystem.

ESFI is the national federation representing esports in India and plays a role in India's participation in international multi-sport competitions, including the Asian Games, where Indian esports athletes represent the country.

The partnership strengthened the Launch Tour's connection to organized competitive esports and supported Infinite Pro League's objective of developing a structured and credible competitive pathway for athletes.

For Infinite Pro League, having the event backed by India's national esports federation represented an important milestone in the organization's early journey.

Esports Association of Kerala — Association Partner

Two Games. One Launch Tour.

The Kochi Launch Tour featured two competitive games across its esports program:

eFootball Mobile

and

Revo Racers

Together, the two competitions created different competitive experiences under the Infinite Pro League banner.

Revo Racers — ₹50,000 Prize Pool

The competition brought players together in a live competitive racing environment and introduced the game to a large audience at TechCon26.

The prize pool was distributed by actor-turned-MLA Sri. Ramesh Pisharody, who presented the prizes to the winners following the conclusion of the competition.

1 Million+ Social Media Reach

The physical event was supported by a significant digital response.

The Launch Tour generated more than 1 million social media reach, extending the event's visibility beyond the KINFRA venue.

The combination of competitive matches, creator participation, event content and partner amplification allowed Infinite Pro League to reach audiences beyond the people physically attending TechCon26.

For a first major event, the digital response became an important part of establishing the Infinite Pro League brand among Kerala's gaming community.

Backed by ESFI

The Launch Tour was backed by the Esports Federation of India, serving as the event's Federation Partner.

The involvement of ESFI gave the Launch Tour a direct connection to India's national esports structure.

ESFI's role in India's international esports ecosystem includes supporting the country's representation at major international competitions, including the Asian Games.

For Infinite Pro League, the relationship represents a step towards building competitions that are connected to a wider structured esports ecosystem rather than operating as isolated gaming events.

Infinite Pro League Founder Manaf Abdul Vahid and His Role in Indian Esports

Manaf Abdul Vahid, Founder and League Director of Infinite Pro League, has also been involved in India's organized esports ecosystem through his work with the Esports Federation of India.

His involvement in Indian esports extends beyond the creation of Infinite Pro League.

Manaf was also the designer of the Team India jersey for the 2026 Asian Games Regional Qualifiers, contributing to the visual identity of India's esports representation.

With experience across esports, design, branding and event development, Manaf founded Infinite Pro League with the objective of creating a structured competitive platform where players can compete consistently, establish competitive records, earn recognition and progress as esports athletes.

The Kochi Launch Tour represented the first major public expression of that vision.

Infinite Rankings — Giving Players a Competitive Record

One of the most important initiatives introduced through Infinite Pro League is Infinite Rankings.

The system is designed to give esports athletes a continuing competitive record based on their performances across eligible Infinite Pro League competitions.

Rather than allowing a player's competitive identity to be defined by one tournament, Infinite Rankings aims to create a system where performances accumulate over time.

Players who record at least one match victory become eligible to enter the Infinite Rankings.

As athletes compete in additional competitions, their records can continue to develop.

At the time of the Launch Tour, Joel-TFC was the #1 ranked Infinite Pro League eFootball Rankings Athlete, with 2.510 points.

The rankings will continue to evolve as Infinite Pro League conducts more competitions and more athletes enter the system.

From Players to Athletes

Everything surrounding the Kochi Launch Tour was connected to one central philosophy:

Where Players Become Athletes.

The goal is to create an environment where players are not simply participants in individual tournaments.

They become athletes with competitive records, rankings, achievements and a pathway to progress.

The Kochi Launch Tour was the first major step towards building that ecosystem.

A Platform for Kerala's Esports Community

The participation of players from all 14 districts of Kerala was particularly significant for Infinite Pro League.

The organization aims to ensure that competitive opportunities are not limited to players in major cities or established esports communities.

By creating competitions that bring together players from across the state, Infinite Pro League aims to identify talent, provide competitive experience and create opportunities for players who may otherwise have limited access to organized esports.

The Kochi Launch Tour demonstrated the potential of bringing that community together on one platform.

More Than a Tournament

The Launch Tour was designed to be more than a conventional esports competition.

It brought together:

Competitive esports

Gaming creators

Technology

Startups

Innovation

Public representatives

Esports organizations

Gaming companies

Players

Spectators

Student communities

The presence of esports within TechCon26 allowed competitive gaming to be presented as part of a broader technology and digital ecosystem.

For Infinite Pro League, this was an important part of its identity from the very beginning.

A Collective Effort

The Kochi Launch Tour was made possible through the combined efforts of its partners, players, creators, organizers, volunteers and the wider esports community.

Infinite Pro League extends its gratitude to:
