Battleground mobile India should be different from Pubg mobile

I really hope that Battlegrounds Mobile India is a bit different compared to what PUBG Mobile was: Nimish ‘Nemo’ Raut, former Fnatic India lead

Krafton’s official Battlegrounds Mobile India announcement and the ensuing pre-registration has left the nation's esports personalities wondering what the game will be like once it goes live.

There is a lot of conjecture in the air, and it's quite hard to pin down what exactly the game is going to look like and how it's going to revitalize the mobile esports scene in India.

In an exclusive conversation with Sportskeeda Esports' Abhishek Mallick, former Fnatic India lead Nimish "Nemo" Raut opened up about Krafton's exclusive title, which is being tailor-made for India.

He even talked about some of his apprehensions regarding the sustainability of the market that BGMI will look to create and how that will dictate the success of its competitive scene.

Here is an excerpt from the conversation.

Q. Before the ban, the Fnatic India lineup was one of the most celebrated PUBG Mobile teams in the region. And it was only recently that the organization decided to let go of their players and coach so that they can look for opportunities elsewhere. It must have been a difficult decision for the organization to make. Can you tell us about some of the thought processes that went behind it?

Nemo: I think one of the most important things for us was to figure out what makes sense in business. We continued to pay our players and coaches and made sure that they were happy and satisfied with the organization and with the team that they are a part of.

However, it came to a point where there was a lot of uncertainty with the return of PUBG Mobile, and continuing with the roster did not make much financial sense. So, it was a very difficult decision to make, but I guess with Battlegrounds Mobile India coming in the near future, Fnatic will be making a comeback.
