Event Brief
The PUBG Mobile India Tour (PMIT) was a game-changing moment in the Indian esports landscape. Conceptualized as a PAN-India, multi-city tournament, the event aimed to bring the electrifying world of competitive gaming directly to the country’s most passionate fan bases. Spanning four pit stops—Jaipur, Pune, Guwahati, and Hyderabad—and culminating in a grand finale in Kolkata, PMIT was designed to celebrate skill, competition, and community at scale. With a massive footfall of over 6,000 and a prize pool of ₹1.05 crore, it became one of the most ambitious PUBG Mobile events ever held in India.
Execution
The tour began with regional qualifiers, each hosted as high-energy LAN events with themed, immersive setups that replicated in-game elements—roasted chicken stalls, airdrop crates, parachutes, jeeps, and more. From Jaipur’s vibrant local turnout to the overwhelming participation in Pune, Guwahati, and Hyderabad, every stop drew in crowds of over 4,000 gamers, fans, and influencers, making each city feel like a live PUBG battleground.
The Grand Finals at Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, Kolkata, was the crown jewel. Over 5,000 fans witnessed 16 top teams battle across 10 intense matches over two action-packed days. The atmosphere was electric, the competition fierce, and the engagement unparalleled. Teams like Orange Esports, Orange Rock, Team Insidious, and Hydra demonstrated world-class gameplay and were celebrated on a national stage.
