India’s esports scene just got a thrilling boost with the return of the FAU-G Bharat League 2.0 (FBL 2.0). Organized by nCore Games, this tournament promises not just competition but also exciting career opportunities for players. Partnering with Leverage and NODWIN Gaming, FBL 2.0 aims to redefine the esports landscape in India.
The standout feature this year is the impressive ₹50 lakh prize pool, a significant jump from last season’s ₹3 lakh. Participants will compete across different tiers—Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Titan—giving players at all levels a shot at glory. The top three in each tier will win big, while Titan competitors will battle for the ultimate title.
FBL 2.0 is noteworthy as it is the first esports platform to operate under the new Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 (PROGA). This means the tournament is fully legitimate and free to join, ensuring that skill will be the deciding factor on the leaderboard.
But it’s not just about winning cash. This year’s tournament offers unique upskilling opportunities:
- Trip to London: Winners will explore top game development universities and studios in London.
- Career Counseling: Expert guidance on mentorship, study abroad options, and job placements in the gaming industry.
- Language Training: Preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE to boost career prospects internationally.
- Health Coaching: Wellness benefits including fitness plans and mental health support from GOQii.
In addition to these exciting rewards, top players can also look forward to exclusive FAU-G content, merchandise, and in-game benefits.
The vision behind FBL 2.0 extends beyond just gaming. nCore, alongside NODWIN Gaming, aims to create a structured pathway from state-level contests to a national championship and even international competitions. This strategy seeks to cultivate local talent and transform FAU-G: Domination into a breeding ground for future game developers.
Vishal Gondal, the founder of nCore Games, emphasizes, “FBL 2.0 is not just a tournament; it’s a gateway for nurturing dreams and creating the next generation of global game developers.”
Entering the tournament is straightforward. Once the latest update for FAU-G: Domination is released, players can join FBL 2.0 for free. Matches are designed to focus on skill, ensuring everyone has a fair shot at success.
FAU-G Bharat League 2.0 represents a huge leap for Indian esports. It’s not just about competition; it’s about learning, growing, and building a professional future in gaming.
