nCore Games, in collaboration with talent mobility giant Leverage and esports leader NODWIN Gaming, has announced the second edition of its official esports tournament — FAU-G Bharat League (FBL 2.0) — for its modern military shooter, FAU-G: Domination.
FBL 2.0 marks India’s first integrated esports and upskilling platform, combining competitive gaming with career development. The tournament features a massive ₹50,00,000 prize pool, fully compliant with India’s Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 (PROGA), alongside skill-building opportunities for participants.
Grand prizes include an all-expenses-paid trip to London to visit top universities offering game development programs, personalised career counselling, English language training, and health and fitness coaching by GOQii. Winners will also receive exclusive in-game rewards, merchandise, and mentorship opportunities.
Building on the success of the first edition launched in July with a ₹3 lakh prize pool, FBL 2.0 will expand grassroots participation with state-level selections, national competitions, and a roadmap for international representation. The top three winners across Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Titan tiers will receive prizes, with Titan players battling for the ultimate championship title.
Industry leaders hailed FBL 2.0 as a milestone for Indian esports. Vishal Gondal, Founder and Chairman of nCore Games, called it “India’s gateway to nurturing dreams, empowering youth, and creating the next generation of global game developers.” Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and MD of NODWIN Gaming, said FAU-G: Domination is “an Indian game for India that has the potential to win us medals.”
FBL 2.0’s launch positions India at the intersection of esports, education, and global opportunities, signaling a bold new era for the country’s gaming ecosystem.
