Top 5 Indian Esports Teams That Left a Mark on International Stage

Orange Rock Esports and TSM-Entity in PUBG Mobile

The PUBG Mobile World League 2020 East showcased the best performance by Indian teams in an international PUBG Mobile tournament to date.

Orange Rock Esports finished as the runners-up, securing a monumental placement with their team members: Harmandeep "Mavi" Singh, Tanmay "Scout" Singh, Arshpreet "Gill" Singh, and Joe "Anto" Micheal, demonstrating remarkable skill and coordination.

TSM-Entity also made a significant impact, finishing in the sixth position with team members: Jonathan "JONATHAN" Amaral, Abhishek "ZGOD" Choudhary, Vivek "ClutchGod" Horo, and Suraj Nityanand "Neyoo" Majumdar.

These placements not only marked India's highest achievement on the global stage of PUBG Mobile to date, but laid the foundation for other emerging teams to rise and strive for such feats.

GodLike Esports in COD Mobile

GodLike Esports finished as the runner-up at CODM World Championship 2023, significantly uplifting India's esports prestige. Their journey, from besting the defending champions to a close finale against China's Wolves, was monumental, especially within India's modest COD Mobile competitive scene.

This performance, in a nation fixated on a dominant mobile shooter, signals a broader spectrum of Indian esports prowess, urging recognition of its varied talents and potential across multiple gaming disciplines.

Revenant Esports in Brawl Stars

The only organization to appear a second time on this list, Revenant Esports has made significant strides in the Brawl Stars esports scene as well.

Their journey to Brawl Stars World Finals 2023 marked a historic debut, positioning them among the world's elite. This achievement was a culmination of dominating performances in regional leagues and strategic team revitalization, including the integration of the former World Champion, Jerome "Response" Jiaen.

Looking ahead, the 2024 roster aims to unite APAC's top talents, further solidifying their ambition to dominate Brawl Stars World Cup, and continue making India proud on the international stage.

Revenant Esports in Pokémon UNITE

Since June 2022, Revenant Esports has become a beacon of success in India's Pokémon UNITE Esports scene, with earnings of approximately $45,686 USD.

Their achievements include winning Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League 2023 - India and securing first place in the 2022 India Championship.

Above all, their qualification in the Pokémon UNITE World Championship 2022 makes them one of the rare organizations from India that had the opportunity to appear in a global showdown.

Although the team finished at the bottom, the talented roster consisting of Omkar "OMEN" Sawardekar, Raunak "Crowley" Sen, Vishnu "XesoL" Khatri, Jeet "Swifty" Kundra, and Anklesh "Novaa" Satelkar put India on the map of the mobile MOBA scene.

Team India in Dota 2

In a game where international achievements have been sparse for India and the Dota 2 scene in the country itself remains relatively underdeveloped, bagging a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Esports Championships 2022 in Birmingham emerges as a significant morale booster for the nation.

Comprised of Moin Ejaz (captain), Ketan Goyal, Abhishek Yadav, Shubhnam Goli, and Vishal Vernekar, the team's triumph over New Zealand with a 2-0 scoreline offers a glimmer of hope and excitement for Indian Dota 2 fans.

This landmark achievement not only marks a pivotal moment for Indian esports on the global stage but also ignites renewed enthusiasm and potential for growth within the country's Dota 2 community.

These achievements underscore the vast potential and diverse talent within the Indian esports community.

As Indian teams continue to participate and excel in international tournaments, they not only bring glory to the nation but also inspire a new generation of gamers and enthusiasts, paving the way for a brighter future in global esports competitions.
