After the removal of the game from the App Store and Play Store, fans are worried about the Indian representation on the global stage. After the news of removal came out, Goblin from Team Soul did a live stream over YouTube where he talked about the PMWI 2022 Slot of Indian Teams,

Goblin said, ” If the game is getting a permanent ban then PMWI 2022 slots for Indian teams will be canceled, I don’t think so Indian teams will travel to play the matches of PMWI 2022 while the game is banned in the country. It is impossible.”

Is BGMI Banned in India?

As of now, there s no official confirmation from either the Government of India or Krafton, developer and publisher of Battlegrounds Mobile India. Gamers should at least wait for some time for any clarification.
