SuperGaming has officially unveiled its year-long esports roadmap, the Clutch India Movement.

The initiative kicks off with the Indus International Tournament, featuring a prize pool of INR 2.5 crore (INR 2,50,00,000), the largest for a battle royale game in India.

The tournament will run from October 2024 to February 2025 and bring together top teams from India and across the globe to compete in four phases.

This announcement follows SuperGaming’s recent reveal of the launch date for its highly anticipated Indo-futuristic battle royale game, Indus, which will be available to players in India starting October 16, 2024, on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

The Clutch India Movement continues SuperGaming’s tradition of supporting grassroots talent, following tournaments like Grudge Wars, Indus Inferno, and Indus Unchained, which gave aspiring esports athletes a chance to shine.

Roby John, CEO and Co-founder of SuperGaming, emphasized the company’s vision: “When we set out to create Indus, our goal was to craft a game that Indian gamers could truly call their own. With the Indus International Tournament, we want to see new heroes rise from our community and take their place in the larger esports ecosystem.” He added, “India’s esports landscape is rapidly evolving, and we believe the country is ready to compete on the world stage. Through this tournament, we’re excited to elevate India’s presence in esports and inspire a new generation of players to pursue gaming at a professional level.”

The competition is open to both seasoned professionals and emerging talent, offering a platform for players to prove themselves on one of India’s grandest esports stages.

The Indus International Tournament will begin with the ‘Homegrown’ phase, which offers a prize pool of INR 15 lakhs, with registration already underway. Matches for this phase will run from November 6 to December 3. Following this is the ‘Nationals’, with a prize pool of INR 10 lakhs.

The tournament will progress to the ‘Powerplay’ phase, which targets professional esports teams and features a prize pool of ₹25 lakhs. SuperGaming will also host the ‘International’ phase, exclusively for invited global teams, running from November 15 to December 30, 2024, culminating in the Grand Finale.

In this final stage, the top 15 teams will compete for a massive ₹2 crore prize pool.

In addition to cash prizes, the MVP of the tournament will be rewarded with a brand-new Mahindra Thar.

SuperGaming has also revealed plans for another major event, the Indus International Mahasangram, set for October 2025.
