    Upthrust Esports (UE), one of the leading tournament organizers from India
    has announced a New State Mobile tournament called Upthrust Esports New
    State Mobile Challengers Showdown, featuring a total prize pool of INR
    3,00,000 ($3,767 USD).

    In India, the mobile esports scene is gradually moving away from BGMI
    (Battlegrounds Mobile India) and Free Fire in favour of a different battle
    royale game. New State Mobile, a futuristic-themed video game from
    Krafton, has accelerated recently and is now swiftly emerging as one of the
    scene's top rivals. With its UE New State Mobile Challengers Showdown
    competition, Upthrust Esports is one of the first regional event planners to
    make use of this. Only Loco is hosting a live stream of the competition.

    Format and stages
    INITIAL STAGE

    Round 1(7th – 8th August)

    matches. Out of these 25 groups, only 10 groups prove themselves and
    qualify for the next round of the underdog phase.

    Revenant esports are undoubtedly ruling the event with 169 rank points, and
    134 finishes, I.e. making 303 points in total. Their performance has been
    commendable and makes others’ points pretty much negligible. It is doubtful
    for anyone to surpass their talent in the upcoming matches. All we need to be
    concerned about at this point is if anyone will outplay Revenant esports or if
    will they rule the New State Mobile Challengers Showdown till the
    ‘showdown’.
