On being asked why did TEC take so long to enter mobile esports, Ishaan Arya, Co-Founder of TEC said, 'Initially, we decided to focus on our strengths, creating some of the best PC esports events in the region over the last 2 years. We felt this was the right time to enter the mobile ecosystem with our first BGMI event with others in the pipeline as well. With regards to going beyond BGMI, it's too early to say but we're always experimenting and evaluating the best options for expansion.'
He added that TEC's approach to BGMI would be similar to other TEC IPs, 'regular running and recurring events for sure'. We can also expect open-for-all BGMI tournaments later this year.
