MOGO Esports, who acquired the ex-Gods Reign roster, was the star performer in the Elimination Week. The Destro-led BGMI lineup looked to be in magnificent form after a long time. Revenant Esports was second in this round, followed by GenxFM Esports. Team XSpark, too, had an astonishing run, grabbing the fourth spot.

8Bit, GodLike, and Medal Esports have had a mediocre run so far in this event. They will endeavor to improve their results in the Semifinals. Hydra and Entity Esports, too, faced challenges in the previous stages but managed to secure their spot in this one. Global Esports and WSB Gaming, two of the top-tier BGMI teams, have made it to the Semifinals as well, but barely.
