Dice Media's upcoming web-series Clutch is about amateur gamers, who under the leadership of their mentor Arun (Vishal Vashishtha), try to rise above all odds to win a mobile Esports tournament.
The trailer begins by introducing us to five aspiring professional Esports players. They all come from varied social and economical backgrounds and have to fight different battles to achieve their dream.
Arun was quite popular seven years ago as an Esports player but left the scene because of his family's disapproval. He is trying to get back into the game once again, this time as the coach of his newly formed Team Clutch.
Prachi (Ahsaas Channa) is a gifted badminton player whose family is pressuring her into focussing on the sport. However, she seems to be more interested in online gaming.
Then there is the talented but short-tempered Raunak (Pratiek Pachauri) and underprivileged Jeetu (Saurabh Ghatge) who works as a delivery person to support his family.
Adil (Tirth Joisher) is a kid who has the potential to be a good player.
The trailer shows their journey from strangers to teammates to finally becoming friends while also dealing with various personal issues. Except for Raunak, the other three players have absolutely no experience in professional gaming, which creates a rift between Raunak and Arun.
Considering mobile gaming's growing popularity across the country, this series might generate a lot of interest among the youth, especially in the gaming community.
The first episode of the Clutch will be released on 1 October.
