Uncertainty shrouds the tournament's date and format specifics: asit remains ambiguous if the entire event will adopt an invitational approach or open its doors to all participants. The impending Pro Series promises a showcase of numerous popular, renowned BGMI squads; however, organizers have chosen not to disclose the exact participant count.
But many anticipate that a substantial number — if not all — of top-performing teams from the recently concluded BGIS 2023 competition will secure invitations for this upcoming contest as their skill and success warrant such recognition.
