Welcome to the first top 10 rankings for 2019.

Since the mid of 2019 there has been a quite a bit of tournaments going on in the Indian region like IGZ , Gaming Monk , GC Kolkata and more .So there hasn’t been any real reason to put one of these out every month. As a result i’ll only be putting out a new rankings every 5–6 months depending on how many tournaments run throughout the year.

Since PGAX just got over and was quite a big LAN tournament so the performance there matters the most .

The way the rankings work is that we now take into account how Consistent the teams performed in each respective tournament which accounts to how each team gets in the rankings.

The following tournaments will be taken into account for this rankings: Predator 2018 , IGZ Season 2 , Gamer Connect Kolkata , UIG Champhionships and PGAX’19(Scoreboard) and few others .

1st: 9 Year Old’s (EndevouR1337, Xcelr8, GooglexGod, imaghostlyboiii)

From Left to Right : Xcelr8 , Ghostlyboiii , Endevour , GooglexGod

Results:
IGZ Season 2 : 4th
UIG Champhionships: 1st
PGAX’19 : 1st

One of the most dominant and consistent team of 2019 has claimed the throne by winning the PGAX in a series of very tight games with GE on their buttcheeks. Throughout all the top tournaments it was a back and forth battle between 9yo’s and Global Esports as each event they would overtake each other .They also took 6 chickens in 12 games in the UIG Championship and xcelr8 being in S.I.C and winning the IGZ season 2 was quite a showing of domination and with Acer Predator on the way along with few other Lan with IGZ Season 3 on the way , lets see what 9yo’s got to defend against other opponents in the upcoming series of tournaments.

2nd: Global Esports (Grimo, R0yy, Saddie, AMF)

From Left to Right : Saddie , Grimo , R0yy

Results:
IGZ Season 2 : 7th
Gamer Connect Kolkata : 1st
UIG Champhionships: 2nd
PGAX’19 : 2nd

Last year after lots of reshuffles GE came as quite a dominant team with a really good line up consisting of quite a frag heavy line up with 1Hog to back them up and consistent performance in the recent tournaments made it a hard decision to choose the best between GE and 9yo’s . With a 113 points for both GE and 9yo’s in the 2nd last game of PGAX’19 Finals .The last game was one hell of a game but as the RNG was not on their side and the circle hard shifting again and again on the last game which dint leave GE with any options to fight back and had to be the Runner Up by only a margin, they will be looking to take their revenge against the 9yo’s in upcoming IGZ and Acer Predator .

3rd: 5cz (Aurum, Neelesh , CaptainPaWnz, Vedzz)

Results:
IGZ Season 2 : 9th
UIG Champhionships: 4th
PGAX’19 : 5th

5cz (Ex-Raptor) have been on an up and down roller coaster since the start of 2019. With the core lineup of Aurum and CaptainPawnz cycling through new 4ths in every tournament this year they’ve struggled to string together and are consistently in the top 5 placings with recent addition of Vedzz and Neelesh they tried to put their strings together and got quite a good result in the PGAX qualifiers but they couldnt repeat it in the finals and there might be a possible roster shuffle which might help them in securing the upcoming series of Tournaments . Though they have a lot of experience back in the abroad Lan tournaments in the form of Aurum ,seeing the the current situation we might hope for some roster changes in the upcoming tourneys to get their strive back .

4th: Indian Rivals ( Amit_Coldzera , Deathrill , Salman , iFlicks )

From Left to Right : Amit_Coldzera , Deathrill , Salman , iFlicks

Results:
IGZ Season 2 : 2nd
UIG Champhionships: 3rd
PGAX’19 : 8th

This is the team which is full of firepower and is one of the teams which always put out a good fight . Last year they got 2nd in Acer Predator and after that they we were one of the most dominant team in the online tournaments with a very dominating score in the PGAX qualifiers but even with top tier player like Deathrill and stars like iFlicks in LAN they couldnt do the same , still they will be eager to show who they are exactly in the upcoming tournaments.

5th : 4Pixels (Arpes , Axelin , Acolytic , Hades )

From Left to Right : Acolytic ,Arpes ,High10 ,Hades ,Axelin

Results:

Predator 2018 : 4th
UIG Champhionships: 3rd
PGAX’19 : 6th

4Pixels (Ex- Shooting Pandas ) they have been in the scene for a while and trying their best to put things in place and try to break into top standings .With SP they won the icafe tourney and also got 3rd place in the 2k18 Predator and few others top finishes which makes them a good contender in the upcoming Acer Predator and will be hungry to taste that victory even they had a pretty disappointing performance at PGAX .

6th : Masters of Mayhem (SKplz , Waterthefire , Nevermore , Snowfire)

From Left to Right : SKplz , waterthefire, nevermore, Snowfire

Results:
UIG Champhionships: 5th
PGAX’19 : 3rd

This team might not have the star players compared to others but they are so mature and the coordination they have with each other.They also won the IGZ Season 2 (Only SKplz was there ) and also a fine 3rd place finish in the PGAX’19 has made them a solid contender .They are not frag based team but more of a position based team .Their consistency in position is commendable and they also managed to get a 3 kill Chicken which shows how peaceful they are .

7th : TantrumX Esports (JUST_F1RE , Kinzu , PANTHER , RRG )

From Left to Right :Kinzu ,Rocky, Just_fire ,Panther

Results:
iCafe Attack Squad : 3rd
UIG Champhionships: 5th
PGAX’19 : 4th

The most controversial team of India considered to be a suspicious team for their online performances , but after the PGAX they came solid 4th and was enough to prove that they are not the team who was considered suspicious and is quite legit after the PGAX for the most of the community .They have been competing regularly in the online tournaments and giving decent enough performances every now and then , so we would be hoping great from them in the upcoming tournaments .

8th : SCAM ALLIANCE ( CHIEFTAIN-SID , SpliT-Anurag , Shashikantt , Parth)

Results:
UIG Champhionships: 5th
PGAX’19 : 9th

In the community this team is known for the Fire Power they have and they have constantly taken fights with the top Indian teams without any hesitation .The only thing they lack was the actual performance in the big tournaments .The reason they are on the list is due do the their constant roster and they are constantly trying to perform in the tournaments .

9th : TEG (Killuaa , olle_noob, Madara, LyNch , CarBonGeaR )

Results:

Proving Grounds : 1st
IGZ Season 2 : 6th
UIG Champhionships: 4th
PGAX’19 : Dint qualify for Finals

One of the oldest Indian Pubg team with no roster changes and consistent performance in the online tournaments . Their recent performance in the PGAX’19 was a disaster for them as they were not able to even reach in the finals , lets hope they get their things together and perform in the upcoming series of tournaments .

10th : Navi M4 ( MnTeR_Bunzz, Zakrimz69, AGC_PhAnToM, conewow)

Results:
IGZ Season 2 : 8th
UIG Champhionships: 12th
PGAX’19 : 7th

This team comes around the middle of the pack, but they have been competing for a while and got some decent position in tournaments like IGZ .This team consist of CSGO pros who are trying to prove themselves and their static roster is what differentiate them from other teams which keeps on disbanding every now and then , so with a 8th rank in the PGAX’19 they should be looking forward on the upcoming tournaments and make a mark in the scene as they are one of the underdogs in the scene .

There might be a lot of roster changes going on for the upcoming tournaments until teams find their perfect fit so lets hope for the best and keep grinding .These data is not 100% accurate so please don’t take it for granted .
