2020 saw India become a greater part of the global esports conversation. The country’s flourishing PUBG Mobile ecosystem laid the foundation of a sustainable community in the country, attracting foreign and local investors as well as putting India on the map.
Even though the title was banned in the country for much of the year, the solid groundwork laid throughout 2019 and 2020 has allowed established stakeholders to remain relevant while authorities and the publisher settle their differences. Fnatic, TSM, and Nova Esports have established presence in the region, and with other names like Vitality on their way, India is gearing up to take its esports scene to the next level.
