Tencent is stepping up its game to establish a stronger foothold in the mobile gaming community of India. Earlier this month, NODWIN Gaming was tapped by Tencent to organise the PUBG Mobile Club Open and PUBG Mobile Pro League in South Asia.

PUBG Mobile is a leading mobile title and a prominent opportunity in mobile esports. Recently, Skyesports partnered with Good Gamer Corp and launched its Premier League tournament for PUBG Mobile.

Esports Insider says:  The partnership between WinZO and Tencent opens plenty of opportunities to a new audience. It’s a unique collaboration as it helps promote PUBG to the multi-lingual and diverse culture of India. WinZO’s ability to reach niche areas of the country enables Tencent to present the popular game to villages and small towns, where non English-speaking audiences may show interest in the game.
