The last LAN event in mobile esports that took place in India was the PUBG Mobile All Stars (PMAS) in 2019, which featured a total prize pool of 50 lakhs that was clinched by Fnatic. Since then, every other competitive event has had to be played online because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Obviously, the invited teams will be looking to give their best performances at the event. Team XO, TSM, and OR Esports have been in excellent form over the past few months and would definitely like to continue their consistent gameplay.
The offline tournament will also create a different kind of pressure on teams, so it will be fascinating to see which team can overcome this new hurdle. It will also be interesting to see how fans react to this tournament, as it may very well set a precedent for future tournaments.
Unfortunately, Team Soul's Goblin had a medical emergency on the way to the event, with the entire team now dropping out. Instead, Team Insane Esports has replaced Team Soul for the LAN competition.
Prize pool and streaming details
The event boasts a massive prize pool of 55 lakhs INR and will be streamed exclusively on LOCO from 05.00 PM IST onwards. The venue for the event has not yet been disclosed and it is not clear whether fans will be allowed in or not.
