The Story in Brief
GodLike Esports and Orangutan have become the first Indian teams to qualify for the PUBG Mobile World Cup Grand Finals at the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris. The Times of India reports that Orangutan finished second in Group A with 91 points, while GodLike Esports took third in Group B with 105 points and 73 finishes, the second-highest knock tally in their group. The 32-team field was split into two groups, each playing 12 matches.
The finals will be held from August 14 to 16. The two Indian teams will compete for a share of the USD 3 million prize pool. In other EWC 2026 results, Kuaishou Gaming won the Honor of Kings World Cup, and OpTic Gaming secured back-to-back titles in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
The Indian Opinion
Indian esports is often dismissed as a mobile-only scene with no global bite. Yet GodLike and Orangutan have outplayed teams from Korea, China, and Europe on a world stage. The real test will come in the Grand Finals, can they maintain composure under pressure and land a top-three finish? That result will tell us whether this is a flash in the pan or a genuine breakthrough for Indian competitive gaming.
