Some renowned BGMI teams like Soul, Orangutan, Entity Gaming, and more will play in Week 2. These teams would surely have watched the first week's competition and developed a strong strategy for their respective matches.

Last year, Team Soul conquered the BMPS Season 1 in thumping fashion. The Omega-led lineup will again enter this official competition with the same intensity and will look to hoist their flag here. Ahead of the BGIS, Entity Gaming recruited a new roster, which features Saumraj and Gamlaboy. These two players played for Skylightz Gaming in the inaugural edition and led the organization to victory.

Many reputed teams like GodLike Esports, Blind, Gladiators, Global Esports, Medal, Revenant, and Enigma, have booked their seats in Round 2 of the BGIS The Grind. Numerous BGMI underdogs also reached the second stage after showcasing their potential and teamwork.
