Popular streamer and Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) professional player Tanmay "Scout" Singh recently appealed to players to shift to New State Mobile amid the BGMI's unavailability. Scout revealed that New State Mobile would soon host a global tournament, and the top three teams from the Snapdragon Pro Series (SPS) New State Mobile Open India will qualify for the global tournament. Scout added that the unavailability of BGMI has created a massive opportunity in New State Mobile.
Scout believes New State Mobile has a lot of opportunities
Scout recently hosted a watch party for SPS New State Mobile Open India on his YouTube channel. Popular streamer and BGMI professional player Raj "Snax" Varma also joined Scout's watch party. In this livestream, a viewer asked Scout if there would be any international tournaments for New State Mobile. Responding to this, Scout revealed that the top three teams from the SPS New State Mobile Open India would qualify for an international New State Mobile tournament. "It is something like, the teams that rank in the top three here will qualify for the international tournament," he said. Following this, Snax got surprised and asked Scout if it was true. "Yes. The top 3 teams from this tournament will qualify for the international tournament. It is something like this, I'm not sure," replied Scout.
The government of India banned Garena's popular battle royale title Free Fire in February 2022, citing security issues and privacy concerns. In July 2022, the government of India went ahead to remove BGMI from Google Play Store and Apple's App Store. This unavailability of the top two games created a demand for a new battle royale game in the industry. New State Mobile was a relatively new game, but it comes from the PUBG universe. As a result, the game quickly gained popularity in the country.
"New State Mobile is the next big thing," Scout said. As the top two battle royale titles are banned in the country, Scout believes that New State Mobile has a lot of opportunities for the players. "Currently, all the opportunities are in New State Mobile (esports)," he added.
Further justifying why he believed New State Mobile has such high opportunities, Scout added, "Because everyone was saying that the game (BGMI) would return on 15th January, but it did not return. Now, everyone is saying that we will get to know in March when the game will return. What will players do till then?"
Scout appealed to players to move to New State Mobile as he believed the game had many opportunities. "Shift to New State Mobile and play tournaments. India will represent in this game as well; this game also has the same amount of money," he said.
