Top 5 teams to watch out for in PMPL; can Team SouL make a comeback?
As the PUBG Mobile Pro League 2020 closes in, teams will have their eyes on the trophy as well as look to seize the limited slots available to advance to the World League. The Pro League will be an interesting event for all PUBG Mobile fans as the Indian teams have shown a shift in approach, adding elements of aggression to sound strategical moves in their armory in an attempt to defeat the challenges faced at the international stage.
In this article we'll discuss about the top 5 teams to watch out for in the PUBG Mobile Pro League 2020.
#1. TSM-ENTITY
Entity Gaming (Now TSM-ENT), have been the most consistent team this year. They have been able to dominate the Indian PUBG Mobile domain for quite a while now by sticking to what they professed, to go all out and be extra aggressive, thus instilling fear among their opponents. Although they haven't played any big tournaments of late and are yet to be tested, Entity Gaming is one of the teams to watch out for in PMPL 2020.
Ghatak, in a recent interview with Sportskeeda, has stressed maintaining a healthy kill difference and defending their top spot on the leaderboard. The team will be led by ex Team SouL member, Clutchgod, who has been really successful when it comes to playing LAN events, soaking in pressure, and seeing the team home in crunch moments. The quartet of Jonathan, Neyooooo, ZGod and Clutchgod with Ghatak mentoring the team, is an exciting prospect to see for the fans as they like to go gung-ho. Clutchgod will be the first choice IGL for Entity Gaming.
TSM-ENT Roster:
Clutchgod - IGL
Zgod - Entry Fragger
Jonathan - Assaulter
Neyooooo - Assaulter
Ghatak - Support and IGL
#2. Fnatic
Fnatic didn't have the best of times playing PUBG Mobile Club Open 2020, as they barely managed to qualify for the Pro League. They are stuck between playing passive and going overly aggressive at times, leading to an inconsistent performance from them throughout the tournament. However it is pertinent to realise too that in a shattering performance lies the seeds of some amazing lessons. Fnatic has the best man in the form of Sc0ut to march the team to glory and redemption and the best opprtunity to win the Pro League.
Their performance in previous tournaments has been exceptional, with a PMAS 2019 victory and the securing of 8th place in the Peacekeeper Elite Championship. This will most certainly inspire them to add yet another trophy to their arsenal. Having said that, it's not merely winning that counts but also the manner in which the win is fashioned. Victories achieved and moments won under difficult and hostile circumstances carry more pride and are cherished more. PEC is so prestigious because it takes place under the most grueling circumstances and is as much a test of character as it is of cycling skills. We've covered Fnatic and Sc0ut's PEC journey in detail, read here.
Fnatic probably will see a new face adding in to the existing roster. Sc0ut has mentioned in this live stream that Franky who also played for Team IND, will be featuring in the tournament and their is a try-out going on. However there are no official announcement as of yet. Fnatic will come up with new plans, new rotations and with a different approach, which is why they'll be in our list of teams to watch out for this PMPL.
FNATIC Roster:
Owais - Filter
Ash - Support
Ronak - Sniper
Paritosh - Assaulter
Sc0ut - IGL & Scout

The crowd backing has always been their x-factor.
