Charles Creighton, CEO of Good Gamer Corp, spoke on the event in a release: “India’s gaming market is on track to reach 628 million users this year and is displaying huge market potential. SkyEsports is at the forefront of the Esports movement in South India and GoodGamer couldn’t be more excited to partner with the company for the SkyEsports’ Premier League tournament in May.

“SkyEsports’ dedication to growing the gaming community in South India is directly in line with GoodGamer’s vision and we believe the partnership provides us with a unique path to developing a relationship with the Indian gaming community.”

Esports Insider says: PUBG Mobile is no joke when it comes to India, so it makes sense that it would be the first title in the Skyesports Premier League. Details in terms of event format and the prize pool are slim so it’s not possible to judge the venture in its entirety at the moment.
