Esports India has flourished like hell in recent times. The launch of PUBG mobile has revolutionized the way sports were played in India. There was no such career available in India before the launch of PUBG in India.
But now, when you look at the current scenario of esports in India, it has boomed. But the ban on the game by theGovernmentt has put a small break into the players' careers.
By far the most famous and successful game ever played in the country, that revolutionized gaming and helped emerge a new class of people called eSport athletes or gamers. It's not that gaming never existed in the country prior to PUBGM, but it's that the game gave much-needed attention and a source of livelihood to them.
But this is not the end of the opportunity. In the meantime, players switched to other games, knowing the importance of other competitive games.
Free Fire was one of the oldest games to bring career opportunities, but due to lack of good graphics, it was beaten by PUBG mobile after the launch.
How Much Esports is Famous in India:
Every player who plays online games thinks of making a career in the field.
They start to record their gameplay to upload on Youtube.
However, this was the only reason that gave a boom to the career of top Esports players in India.
After the ban, people have started playing different games so that they can experience what is better for them.
Even though many peoples are not associated with Esports, everyone is well aware that it has a glorious career.
The prize money, which was a decent one in the past, has now crossed the barriers.
$3 million is the highest combined prize pool to be announced in the PUBG mobile tournament to date. This is in the Chinese version.
With the Telecom sector providing internet facilities at a low price, Youtube has become a trend for Indians. Subsequently, my Career in Youtube and streaming games has improved.
Even recently, the government has also announced its involvement in Esports. Govt is also keen on Esports, so it is pretty famous now for being chosen as a career.
However, the journey in Esports looks like a piece of cake, but it is not like that. With the growing trend, streamers and players are also growing. Every day you need to learn new tricks to be on the top charts.
eSports is in the beginning stages in India. It's famous, and opportunities are there but restricted to only metro cities for now. People are participating, but there is a lack of discipline and seriousness in them.
They still think they are playing the game for fun, not as a professional. If you try and arrange a competition in tier 2 or 3 cities, it will be a hell experience for you. I have done it previously, so I know.
Other than that, I think principal organizers are trying hard to make this scenario known to people like ESL and gamingmonk.
And to do that, they are broadcasting live on YouTube and Twitch and the Esports channel on tv.
To make esports successful in India, developers have to start taking India seriously to become eager enough to invest some money in establishing a proper esports environment.
There have been many positive developments lately with major gaming distributors and sellers considering IndianGamingg a potential market with steam and origin introducing INR support. However, it is still a long, long way to go.
