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.
