PUBG Mobile India Tour 2019: Here’s all you need to know…

PMIT: PUBG Mobile India Tour

Be it Pochinki or Gerogopol, Military Base or Novorepnoye, children across age categories know these locations better than their streets. The PUBG mobile fever in India is at its peak. With the inception of competitive leagues like PMCO, PMIT, etc, the game has given a purpose, a career to many professional gamers.

The game is being presented to the audience from two different perspectives. One being the entertainment part and the other competitive part. People in India have picked up the new taste of watching streams either having entertainment, quality gameplay or both. Recently, an Indian youtuber Mortal crossed watching over 1,30,000 during his livestream. Another streamer Dynamo (Hydra Dynamo) had also crossed a watching of 1,00,000, a few days before Mortal’s feat. If Esports in India is rising fast, a big credit has to go to PUBG.

PUBG Mobile India Tournament (PMIT) finals concluded on the 20th of October. It was the latest PUBG Mobile Esports tournament organised in India. The highly coveted trophy was lifted by Revenge Esports.

How it started?

The tournament was divided into four regions and each region into four groups. The regions being Hyderabad, Pune, Guwahati and Jaipur. The tournament saw a humongous participation of 4,00,000 players. Four teams from each region went on to qualify for the grand finals held in Kolkata last week.

Point structure

There were two aspects that determined the team’s position in the points table. One being the rank in the game and the second being no. of kills secured.

Position Points (for top 3)

Kill Points

Each kill gets a point for the team. The total score and final position in the points table would be the sum of the above two aspects.
