Orange Rock

Orange Rock has made something that no other Indian PUBG Mobile been able to do. They went second in the PMWL East Season Zero against strong teams such as Bigetron RA and RRQ Athena. They could have done more if it wasn't because of the PUBG Mobile ban in Indian in September.

Other than the PMWL East Season Zero, they were also the champion of big tournaments such as the ESL India Premiership 2020 Summer Season, PUBG Mobile Pro League - Spring Split 2020: South Asia, and PUBG Mobile Club Open - Spring Split 2020: India.

Orange Rock made a total of Rs 61.7 Lakh in 2020.

TSM-Entity

TSM-Entity has been dominating almost the whole year of PUBG Mobile esports in India. However, they only went 6th place in the PMWL East Season Zero so they failed to top the list. Still, by winning big tournaments such as the PUBG Mobile India Series 2020, PUBG Mobile Pro League - Spring Split 2020: South Asia Finals, they earned a total of Rs 52 Lakh in 2020.

GXR Celtz/Celtz

Celtz was the underdog of the PUBG Mobile Pro League - Spring Split 2020: South Asia. No one thought that a no-name team like them can actually win the tournaments against teams such as Fnatic, Orange Rock, and TSM Entity but they did. The team then got a sponsor deal from Galaxy Racer Esports right after that. GXR Celtz went 14th place in the PMWL East Season Zero.

GXR Celtz earned a total of Rs 40 Lakh in 2020.
