The last two decades have seen substantial increase in mental health problems emerging from the internet and gaming addiction, which have led the World Health Organisation (WHO) to recognise gaming disorder as a diagnose-able condition.

Earlier this year, PUBG MOBILE announced the launch of India Series 2019, the latest in its efforts towards the growth of India’s PUBG MOBILE esports ecosystem. Sponsored by OPPO, the Grand Finals of the PUBG Mobile India Series 2019 is all set to take place on the 10th of March 2019 at GMC Balayogi Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, with the support of the Telangana Government. It follows the success of the PUBG Mobile Campus Championship in October, which was PUBG MOBILE’s first endeavour at building an esports platform for college students. Taking things to the next level, the PUBG Mobile India Series had over 400,000 games across in-game and online qualifiers, featuring some of the top PUBG Mobile clans such as RIP, PAiN, SouL, 8bit, and Oxy.

The tournament was open to all Indian residents who had a PUBG MOBILE account above level 20. Over 2,000 teams were selected for the Playoffs, from which the 20 best teams will fight it out at the Grand Finals. Upping the ante from the Campus Championship, the finals promise a chance to walk away with Rs 30,00,000 for the team ranking first, Rs 10,00,000 for second and Rs 5,00,000 for third.
