India is the only country that serves as a region in the Brawl Stars esports. And, it has two slots for the LCQ before the main event takes place. Thus, the country has much potential, and it could be one of the primary markets of the game. Besides, the evolution of Brawl Stars esports in India is also realized by Supercell and the professional scene is blooming at a rapid speed. Recently, GamingonPhone had the opportunity to talk with one of the best Indian Brawl Stars teams, Revenant Esports, and its player Sergent Clash. Team Captain Ashmit “Sergeant Clash” Singh shared valuable thoughts about the events that lie ahead, the LCQ. Also, the player shared his thoughts on the team and its goal in the coming days.

Ahead of the Brawl Stars World Finals in November 2023, the participant teams are now busy with setting up their strategy, making coordinated plans, increasing synergy, etc. But before the World Finals take place, the event is still lacking four participants from the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ). Scheduled to start on the 7th of October, the LCQ will host 12 teams. The top 4 teams will be selected for the upcoming global finals.

Revenant Esports will go for the World Cup, not just the LCQ: Sergeant Clash

Revenant Esports was the first team to qualify for the LCQ from India. Being a massive country with and strong appearance in mobile esports titles, India is ready to set the fire. Supercell would not disagree with the fact that the Indian Brawl Stars scene offers significance to the game. Not only that, but the promising market is also realized by Supercell and providing India with two extra tickets a reflection of taking the Indian Brawl Stars scene a bit farther.

The Brawl Stars team has continuously been investing in the Indian Brawl Stars esports scene which is evident by the two direct slots we have gotten to the LCQ. India is the only region in Brawl Stars to get LCQ spots being only a country. So I feel that the future is good and Supercell has also realized this, said Revenant Esports player Sergeant Clash.

Congratulations on qualifying for the LCQ. Now the goal is of course to get a slot in the world finals. Will Revenant be able to do that? What are your plans with the team?

We are well prepared for the LCQ event this time around. We are constantly playing scrims for the event and increasing our efforts gradually. We also plan to identify the strengths of our team and work based on that. So far, things are looking good so we are confident to get a slot in the world finals.

Can you tell us briefly why Shafin left just when the team was about to become the first team to qualify? And, how are you minimizing the communication gap (if there’s any) with the new recruitment Jerome Kuek Jiaen?

We were doing very well with Shafin but we felt the addition of Jerome would help the team drastically. Shafin also had exams so he couldn’t commit full-time either. He is a fantastic player as it is. We do not have a communication gap with him as he was my teammate last year as well. So it kind of feels like we are picking up right where we left off.

Forming the roster this January to qualify for the LCQ, a rollercoaster ride, What do you say?

When we got together as a team, we knew our capabilities and expected to qualify for the LCQ. We have been constantly working hard as well and we knew we were the best. It isn’t a surprise that we qualified with the amount of effort we put in.

Tell us about the experiences from Snapdragon Pro Series Season 1: India Challenge. The first major, sort of, event champion title, how does it feel? Which one’s better? LCQ or being the champion?

The SPS season was our first LAN as we had visa issues in previous events. We never felt more motivated after witnessing the event to become the best. We want to become the best of the best so our only goal is winning worlds, not just the LCQ.

Tell us about Indian Brawl Stars esports. The future of BS in India as an esports, will it be carrying a distinct mark?

The Brawl Stars team has continuously been investing in the Indian Brawl Stars esports scene which is evident by the two direct slots we have gotten to the LCQ. India is the only region in Brawl Stars to get LCQ spots being only a country. So I feel that the future is good and Supercell has also realized this.

The future of BS in India, share your thoughts. Will we see Revenant in other events as well?

We have always been on the top in India and will continue to do so. I am confident that any LAN in India related to Brawl Stars will be won by Revenant Esports and our only goal now is performing at international events.

The subject of teams and players violating the codes of conduct and breaching the rules implemented against cheating has been a hot topic in the Battlegrounds Mobile India or BGMI community in the past few weeks after the start of Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023. Global Esports was one of the teams participating in this tournament who were receiving the flak based on these accusations. And now as a result of all these, Global Esports has announced to disband BGMI lineups which is sure to cause some ripples throughout the community, primarily because the individuals involved are implying that they are not guilty.

Team Mayavi from Global Esports is speculated to be among the BGMI lineups getting disbanded

The attention of the entire community was on Global Esports because of them employing alleged hackers to play for one of their three BGMI teams, that is, Team Mayavi, coached by Mayavi, a BGMI commentator, analyst, and content creator. The accusations were further fueled by content creators and other BGMI esports players associated with T1 teams on YouTube. But the 4-man team and its coach Mayavi have as of today, denied that they are guilty of any of the charges.

Earlier today, in a live stream that has been hidden from the channel since it ended, Dr. Rushindra Sinha, the CEO and owner of Global Esports stated that GE is severing its contract with all its BGMI teams and will start afresh.

He stated that the reason behind this decision is to avert the negative PR his company is receiving from the allegations and that he would stick to the decision regardless of whether the accusations of hacking and scamming are true or not. According to him, the reputation of Global Esports as a whole lies above Team Mayavi, or GE Phoenixes for that matter.

Global Esports’ female BGMI roster GE Phoenix also faced potent accusations due to which they are getting disbanded

Besides the much-publicized hacking allegations faced by Team Mayavi, Global Esports’ female BGMI roster, GE Phoenix, also faced potent accusations of ringing and slot scamming. The IGL of GE Phoenix, GE Vixen, allegedly scammed the owner of one Sting Esports, who acquired a slot in the BGIS, and took it for her own team. During the tournament, they were accused of ringing, that is, fielding another player who was not registered with the team to play for them under an alias.

The move where we saw Global Esports disband BGMI lineups has thus extended to this lineup as well given the allegations of stealing the slot of another team. Also, according to Dr. Sinha, the Phoenixes players were still considered for long-term contracts and not committed to the organization permanently, and were thus dispensable.

Although he stated that the owner of Sting admitted to giving away the slot, there has been news going around the community that he was coaxed into doing so in order to keep the GE brand name clean.

The main BGMI lineup of Global Esports is also on the brink of getting disbanded as well

Although no separate statement was made for the main lineup of Global Esports’ BGMI project, the team led by star IGL Mavi is almost sure to be dismissed as well. The implications were made when Dr. Sinha, revealed on stream that Global Esports will disband its BGMI lineups of Team Mayavi, and Phoenixes and altogether will cease all operations regarding BGMI briefly. He said that starting October 1st, a new BGMI outfit for the organization will be announced and the slate will be wiped clean for now.

Although no comments have been made on the accused players being guilty or not, Dr. Sinha has said that Global Esports have faced such a situation before with the lineup that currently plays for Blind Esports, saying that people accused them as well, but applauded them as stars once they were proven to be clean.

Since he and his team no longer have any allegiance to any organization, they will be able to speak and explore ideas freely without having to worry about PR ratings, as expressed by Mayavi himself in a private Instagram story in the meantime. He added that the tale is still unfolding and if they are honest, it should be good for BGMI and PUBG Mobile as a whole, although it is unclear what the arguments will be.

However, the Wolves went to the lower-bracket final and picked up a win against KuaiShow Gaming to face Talent in the grand finals again. The match could be a story of sweet revenge by the defending champion. But Talent was too fierce to be stopped and despite Wolve’s attempt to fight back, the team picked up a win by making the scoreline 4-2. Thus, Talent Gaming becomes the crowned champion of the King Pro League Summer 2023.

Talent Gaming wins almost a million dollars as the prize pool

The event featured a whopping 2.5M USD as the prize pool. Winning the crown, Talent Gaming was awarded a total of ¥6,190,715 (almost $850,000). Runner-up Wolves took ¥3,174,792 (almost $435,000) while the third and fourth-placed teams bagged ¥1,796,826 (almost $246,000) and ¥1,207,808 ($166,000) respectively. BuRan from the champion team becomes the grand final MVP and Yisheng from the Wolves becomes the season MVP.

As the KIC 2023 is almost near, the champion team has placed itself as a strong contender for the global trophy. Besides, it raises the expectation bar a bit higher. However, runner-up Wolves will also be looking for a good performance in the coming event.

Gaming worldwide has seen exponential growth in popularity and revenue, and as a derivative of it, esports has grown proportionally worldwide, and the tides have reached the shores of India as well. Although in India, esports has been massively focused on the mobile gaming sector instead of PC, which makes it an apt topic for our discussion even in 2023.

Mobile esports in India: How did it become mainstream

India since the 2010s has been one of the biggest consumers in the world when it came to gaming media, and the graph only shot upward with time. Multiple mobile titles became super-popular with most people having played them or at least heard of them. Games such as Angry Birds, Subway Surfers, Temple Run, etc. attained cult status as per.

But the breakthrough moment came when Supercell‘s all-timer game Clash of Clans saw a boom in popularity in India sometime in the year 2015 and the game’s Indian users doubled and tripled. India had by then developed an interest in esports at a level to conduct esports tournaments locally. The friendly attack feature in Clash of Clans was a major step forward.

With the arrival of Clash Royale and Supercell’s marketing to draw audiences towards esports, mobile esports finally began to take off in India. And in 2017 we had Supercell’s officially acclaimed tournament 2017, the ESL India Premiership Clash Royale Summer.

PUBG Mobile: The catalyst of Indian esports

Krafton‘s worldwide hit, PUBG won the PC Game of The Year Award and was therefore already a hot commodity when it was announced that the game would be coming to mobile and it would be Tencent who would be publishing the game. Within a year of its launch in India, it was already breaking records and had firmly established itself as the game to watch out for in India.

The PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 India Finals took place amidst a hype that had never been seen in India till that point in time, or maybe even in the world for a mobile game. The tournament saw some of the biggest gaming content creators in India at that time take part, namely, Soul Mortal, Scout, Owais, etc.

The PMCO was a major milestone in Indian gaming due to several reasons. Firstly, for the first time, there were widespread attempts among Indian gamers to create their own self-sufficient esports teams and organizations and to represent the country on the international stage. Also, esports as a public form of entertainment held in public venues further cemented the position of gaming in India.

From starting off with PUBG Mobile, the organizations started to look for opportunities in other games, in both PC and mobile to chase the common Indian dream of someday winning a major global trophy in esports. The investments made by the teams began to propel Indian gaming to new heights, with the humble teams attempting to go into PC gaming as well, all because of one mobile game that gave them the drive to do so.

For the next 2 years, PUBG Mobile would reign supreme in India, and the world as well, where it would eventually grow big enough to compete with major PC games in terms of popularity and prize pool.

The prime time of Indian mobile esports

Following the PUBG Mobile World League 2020 PUBG Mobile got banned in India and was left out of all PUBG Mobile events including the Global Championship of 2020. Unexpectedly, it was following the ban of India’s most popular game, that esports in India entered its brightest era. After the ban, the major Indian teams were left with no choice but to suspend PUBG Mobile operations, and therefore focus elsewhere.

As a result, other games such as Free Fire and Call of Duty Mobile emerged as the front-runners of Indian mobile esports with other games such as Clash of Clans and Clash Royale in tow. Indian teams qualified for the CODM World Championship 2021 and Learn from Team IND made it to the top 10 mobile esports players in the world, where he eventually lost, but showed the potential of mobile gaming in India.

But later in 2021, PUBG Mobile relaunched in India as BGMI, and it instantly took off to heights that were never touched before. With millions of views in every video online and hundreds of thousands of live viewers at every tournament, BGMI was smashing all records in Indian gaming. Esports also got inducted into real-time sporting events by order of the Indian government, a moment for the history books. Esports in India as a whole had truly reached its zenith.

The ban on BGMI and regression in esports

If BGMI was a blessing for esports in India, it also turned out to be a curse in disguise. In 2022, BGMI got banned in India and sent all major organizations into a state of complications. The launch of BGMI and the subsequent tournaments with massive prize pools and coverage had caused the organizations that earlier focused on all games to abandon the ideal and sidestep them in favour of BGMI. This caused the complete collapse of Indian esports.

To make situations worse, Free Fire and Free Fire Max also received the ban hammer, and CODM was nowhere near its heyday in upholding the Indian mobile gaming scene. With all major games that can support an esports ecosystem in a country as vast as India losing their footing in the region, Indian esports entered a period of dormancy where there were no major tournaments or at least ones that caught the public eye for a while.

Not only that, some of the biggest mobile esports titles such as Arena of Valor, and Mobile Legends Bang Bang are not available in India. Thanks to the Indian Government’s policies. Now Honor of Kings global version is on the verge of its global release but chances are very little that it will arrive in India. Another big loss for the Indian esports scene.

Indian Esports and the role of other titles

The people of India have always had a strong affinity for battle royale games, as was highlighted in the aforementioned part of this article. After Free Fire and PUBG Mobile were taken off the market, it became impossible for any other battle royale games to take their place. During this time, Call of Duty: Mobile made steady progress toward becoming one of the most well-known video game titles in the Indian esports scene. Being already a very famous esports title in the PC sector, Activision was just trying to get into the mobile esports sector and increase its popularity.

During this time period, we saw a significant increase in the number of teams investing in the CODM sector. On the list are prominent organizations like as GodLike Esports, Revenant Esports, Reckoning Esports, True Rippers, Enigma Gaming, and SynerGE, among others. Despite this, Call of Duty Mobile was unable to maintain its status as a top title in the mobile esports sector in India, purportedly because Activision did not cooperate with the industry.

Another popular title that is still active in the Indian mobile esports industry is Brawl Stars. The developers held a separate tournament called Snapdragon Pro Series Season 1 for the India region specifically which also acted as the qualifier event for the Snapdragon Mobile Masters that took place on 13th May. Apart from the mentioned titles, several other major titles are still active in India. However, none seemed to reach the level of popularity that PUBG Mobile or Free Fire had in India.

Pokemon UNITE on the other hand, finally gave special attention to India, however, being a niche MOBA title, the game never got much attention from the Indians as usual. Even though a few esports organisations are participating, it is not getting the attention it deserves. Honestly, the Pokemon Company International has nothing to do with this, it is Indian gamers’ biases towards Battle Royale titles.

The future of Indian mobile esports looks bleak

Several AAA PC FPS titles are entering the mobile gaming industry this year. At this time, Valorant Mobile is still in the process of being developed and is participating in ongoing private beta testing. Another major PC FPS title that is yet to be released this year is Rainbow Six Siege Mobile. The game has already made the announcement that it is rolling out its soft launch, and the full release is very near.

Both Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege have a significant part of the market for esports played on PCs. The fans have every right to expect that the game developers will shift their attention to the mobile esports market in the near future now that the games have been ported to mobile platforms.

It is possible that the introduction of these games may result in a revitalization of the mobile esports sector in India. However, based on recent experiences with Call of Duty Mobile as well as people’s perspectives on first-person shooter games, it is very doubtful that these titles would get close to the popularity of Battle Royale titles in terms of esports held in India.

However now, BGMI is unbanned in India and serves as a sort of much-needed source of oxygen for the suffocating esports industry. BGMI maintained its status as the “game for the people” in India with huge audience turnouts since the day of its unban. But this once again puts us in the same position as before, that is, BGMI taking over in a way that makes it virtually impossible for other games to flourish at the moment. However, Free Fire is also making a return to India as Free Fire India which will definitely contribute to the country’s mobile esports scene.

Not only that, India-based SuperGaming is bringing its own Indo-futuristic battle royale title Indus which is heavily inspired by the Indian culture. But that still is a battle royale.

That being said, this can be avoided with the audience having a more welcoming attitude towards the other games and broadening their spectrum of interests instead of limiting it to one or a few games. The eminent gaming personalities of our country can play a major part by influencing the viewers to become an inclusive community that can take to gaming in general instead of just one game.
