It is to be noted though that this tournament will not allow any pro players to participate since the competition is designed for amateur players. Secondly, the match is for the PC platform players only. It is quite interesting for Indian gamers since such events could increase the hype around gaming tournaments to happen in India. Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds have been a massive success after the launch of the beta version. The battle royale system, which allows players to join a squad of four or take a solo route to survival in a map which shrinks time to time has been the top-played game for more than a year now.
