It has been a long time since we have seen any professional Battlegrounds Mobile India ( Formerly PUBG Mobile) player in action. It has been more than eight months since the ban of the game by the Government of India.
Recently, Krafton has announced the launch of BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA, an exclusive game for Indian players. The game will replace the previously banned PUBG Mobile. The Pre-registration of the game is open for Android phones while the game is expected to be released in the third week of June 2021.
With the announcement of the game coming back, there has been a shuffle in the rosters within various organizations. It has been 8 long months, and it was very difficult for any org to keep its roster active. Team Megastars was one of them, the team got disbanded on September 7th, 2020 with Encore, Vexe, Paradox, Swag, and Believe on it.
Now, Revenant esports is back with the launch of Battlegrounds Mobile India esports team featuring two former players from Megastars. The announcement was made on their official Instagram page today.
