Fnatic to close all operations in India: report

Fnatic to close all operations in India: report

Fnatic's arrival in India was marked by the European video game company forming a competitive team PUBG Mobile in India in 2019. The team consisted of India's best gamers like Owais, Scout and Ronak. But now, according to a report by Talkesports, the company has decided to shut down its operations in India. It comes months after the ban of PUBG Mobile in India, which was the main game that the Fnatic team was involved in in India. Fnatic has teams participating in Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Dota 2, Rainbow Six Siege, among other games around the world. Fnatic may have been waiting for play in India to be suspended, so their team can restart operations. But he seems to have given up hope and has finally decided to shut things down. For the record, India hasn't been big on the global esports scene and hardly any Indian teams have made international headlines. But with the arrival of PUBG Mobile and the widespread acceptance of the game, the quality of players in this particular game has increased. India may not be at the top of the scale when it comes to PUBG Mobile, but it was among the top countries in terms of players in PUBG Mobile. This is probably why Fnatic wanted to train their PUBG Mobile team in India. That and, of course, the enormous popularity of the game in India. The team that Fnatic created in India may have featured some of the best players in the country, but they haven't been as successful. He did not show results in the grand prix tournaments. This was followed by some changes to the roster which seemed to work to some extent. The team also failed to make a mark globally but turned out to be one of the best teams in India. That all changed with MEITY's ban on the game in September 2020. Krafton took over the publishing rights for PUBG Mobile India from Tencent Games and constantly tried to get it back, but to no avail.
