Stalwart Esports is an Indian professional esports organisation focused on mobile gaming. It was founded in January 2020. Stalwart Esports has teams competing in PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, Clash Royale and Brawl Stars. They became the first esports organisation to adopt cryptocurrencies in their balance sheet.[1]

In September 2020, the team donated their slot of the PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) South Asia to Pakistani Esports organisation Freestyle Esports after PUBG Mobile was banned in India.[2]

In December 2021, Stalwart Esports became the only team from South Asia to qualify for PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2021 Grand Finals.[3]

In May 2022, Stalwart Esports won the PMPL South Asia Championship S2.[4]

PUBG Mobile

In August 2020, Stalwart Esports' PUBG Mobile division made their first appearance in PUBG Mobile Club Open (PMCO) Fall Split 2020 and claimed 3rd position, advancing to Season 2 of PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) South Asia. However, in the wake of recent India-China disputes, PUBG Mobile was banned in India from 2 September. Reluctant to give up their slot, they signed a Pakistani line-up called FreeStyle Esports to represent them in the Pro League. FreeStyle Esports have been champions of the Pakistan PMCO 2020 and were part of the World League last season.[5] [6] [7]

In December 2020, Stalwart Esports cross border collaboration with FreeStyle Esports continued and resulted in the formation of a new organisation called Stalwart Freestyle in Pakistan.[8]

In February 2021, Stalwart Esports announced their second partnership in Pakistan with another Pakistani esports organisation 'Flex Esports' and formed a new entity Stalwart Flex in the region for the PMCO Pakistan 2021 Spring Split tournament.

In September 2021, Stalwart Esports revealed that it had acquired a Mongolian roster that won[9] the PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) South Asia Championship the previous June, which had a huge prize pool of $200,000. Stalwart Esports stated that the acquisition of this team has made them the highest-paid PUBG Mobile Esports athletes in the entire South Asian region.

In December 2021, Stalwart Esports secured a berth in the Grand Finals of the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2021 (PMGC), a prestigious event that took place in Singapore and boasted a substantial prize pool of 6 million USD.[10] PMGC 2021 represented the pinnacle of PUBG Mobile Esports, being the largest event in its history. It is the annual S Tier Event IP in the world of PUBG Mobile Esports.[11] Stalwart Esports secured the position of 2nd runners-up in the PMGC League Stage.
