NB Esports finished 2nd at PMPL South Asia Spring 2023

NB Esports, short for NAT BOLTU Esports, are a Bangladeshi esports organisation competing in PUBG Mobile with a Mongolian roster, founded in October 2022. NAT BOLTU owns the side, Nazmul Hasan, known as ZENITSU, manages it, and Imran Bepary, known as BULLET, coaches it, a Bangladeshi backroom behind a Mongolian playing squad.

The results came fast. NB Esports finished third at the PUBG Mobile Regional Clash 2023 between Southeast Asia and South Asia for $1,750, behind champions 4Merical Vibes and BOOM Esports. They then finished second at PMPL South Asia Spring 2023 for $6,500, behind Stalwart Esports, and sixth at PMPL South Asia Fall 2023 for $4,500. A regional podium, a league silver medal and a finals top-six finish in one year make NB Esports one of the most productive cross-border teams in the region. NB Esports' Bangladeshi management and Mongolian roster make them one of the region's clearest cross-border experiments, and the 2023 results suggest it worked.
