Other Editions
This is not the first time for competitions like this
The first competition like this was organized in 2018. It was named PUBG Mobile Campus Championship. PUBG was so popular even back then that more than 2,00,000 Indian users registered to win an impressive prize amount of Rs. 50 lakh. Its 2019 edition saw over 5,75,000 players participating in around 4,00,000 games and was won by SOUL (ranked #4 in the current championship).
Controversies
The competition might bring some respite to PUBG
The last few months haven't been very good for the game in India. It was banned in Gujarat, people were arrested for playing it, there were numerous protests and various articles were written in favor of outlawing the game. It was completely banned for CRPF troops because the soldiers couldn't focus on anything else. Maybe the ongoing championship will bring some respite to PUBG.
Features
PUBG Mobile is releasing a host of features
In another development, PUBG Mobile update 0.13.0 will soon release globally as it will change various features of the game including the zombie mode and add new features like Team Deathmatch as well.
