TSM expected to enter Indian Free Fire scene 

The Indian Esports scene has been rocked by the Free Fire phenomenon in the past year. While the Free Fire Continental Series Asia 2020 attracted 1.5 million peak viewers on a Hindi stream, the Free Fire World Series 2021 broke all records and drew 1.9 million peak viewers (which is the highest ever for any single stream/language) on Hindi stream. The domestic tournament Free Fire India Championship 2021 also saw more than 220K Peak Viewers. These numbers have attracted a lot of attention in the west.

Andy Dinh, CEO of TSM, tweeted a few days ago that Mobile Esports will have more viewers than PC within 5 years.

Well, in some cases they already do. Especially in LatAm, SEA, India, etc.

About TSM:

Team Solomid (TSM), founded in 2009 by Andy Dinh, is based out of Los Angeles, California. They have active rosters in League of Legends, Apex Legends, PUBG, Fortnite and Valorant to name a few games.

They entered the Indian market in March 2020 as part of a partnership with Entity Gaming through the PUBG Mobile roster. PUBG Mobile was banned in September 2020 by the Indian Government, but TSM showed their faith in the roster and waited till the launch of BattleGrounds Mobile India.
