PUBG Mobile: Indian organisations to participate in PMPL SA 2020, players recruited from Bangladesh and Pakistan

The Indian Government, on 2nd September, banned PUBG Mobile along with 117 other Chinese apps under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act. This impacted the PUBG Mobile Indian Esports scene the most as PUBG Mobile officials barred Indian players from participating in the PMPL South Asia Season 2. Despite this, the qualified teams from India were allowed to retain their slot if they were able to sign/acquire players from any other South Asian country.

Two Indian organizations that qualified for the PMPL SA S2 - Future Station Esports and Stalwart Esports, have signed players from the South Asian region to participate in the tournament. FutureStation Esports secured second place in the PUBG Mobile Club Open India Fall 2020, while Stalwart Esports secured third position and qualified for PMPL South Asia Season
