Pokemon Unite has shown a slow and steady rise across the Indian esports community with multiple tournament organizers hosting competitions for the mobile title. The country has also attracted direct slots from multiple international tournaments which is a positive sign.

The recently concluded Skyesports Showdown Pokemon Unite tournament witnessed some of the top teams from across the country taking on each other over the course of five days.

It started with league play where the four teams followed a double round robin format, where they simply played every other team twice. All the matches played in this stage were best-of-three series and the top two teams on the overall points table qualified for the grand final.
