India gets a seeding slot at PMGC 2021

India returns back to PUBG Mobile Esports after a gap of about two years as the invitational slot to PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2021 Grand Finals is given to them. The process of selecting invited team has not been revealed yet.

PUBG Mobile Esports recently posted a format explainer for PMGC 2021 on their social media handles and the finals column has attracted the attention of Indian audience. The post stated that “To support the restart of Indian PUBG MOBILE Esports, PMGC has given the Grand Finals invitational slot to India to ensure the highest possible level of global competition.”

India is officially included in the list of regions competing at PMGC Grand Finals. This is a huge moment for Indian PUBG Mobile enthusiasts as the region is once again included in the competition.

Indian teams were barred from competing in official PUBG Mobile tournaments after the game was banned and even after the return of PUBG in the form of BGMI, its future in terms of esports was quite unclear.

Krafton has announced Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2021 as their first regional esport event but it is yet to kickstart in the country. There is a huge possibility that winners of BGIS will be awarded with the seeding slot.

This is certainly a big news for Indian BGMI teams as they will get to experience the global competition once again. Last time, Orange Rock was inches away from snatching the victory on global scale and it will be interesting to see how Indian rosters will perform after a two year hiatus.
