PUBG Mobile is gearing up for another major tournament: the Snapdragon Pro BGMI Mobile Challenge. The finals, taking place from January 31st to February 2nd in India at the Noida Indoor Stadium, will see 16 teams battling it out for a share of a massive INR 1 crore prize pool. The winning team will also claim the coveted title of Snapdragon Pro Series BGMI Mobile Challenge Season 6 champions.
This tournament highlights the significant investment in mobile esports, particularly within PUBG Mobile. Krafton's own PUBG Mobile Global Open, with its $500,000 prize pool, is a testament to this. The Snapdragon Pro BGMI Mobile Challenge's sixth season has generated considerable excitement, attracting over 300 registrations for the qualifiers and significant community engagement.
India's Thriving Mobile Esports Scene
India's massive mobile gaming market is a key driver of this growth. While domestic developers like SuperGaming (with titles like Indus) are vying for market share with a "Made in India" appeal, this tournament underscores the enduring popularity of international titles. Krafton's continued investment in major tournaments and their reported $10 million investment in grassroots esports in India further emphasizes the region's importance in the global esports landscape.
