The Semifinals will be broadcast live on Krafton India Esports' official YouTube channel, from 3 pm onwards in both Hindi and English. Each day of the Semifinals Week 1 will feature six matches across three maps — Erangel, Sanhok, and Miramar.

In the Quarterfinals, Mastermind Mavericks had a thrilling run, with the rising squad leading the overall standings. NRI and Phoenix were also phenomenal as they were in the top three. Team Tamilas, a well-known squad, had a decent run too.

True Rippers has signed Team Jelly's lineup ahead of the BGIS Semifinals. Team Versatile, led by Saumraj, also showed some good performances in the Quarterfinals. Revenant XSpark, the defending champion, was 11th in the overall standings in that stage.

In the Wildcard, GodLike Esports showed brilliant performances and secured the top position for itself. Cincinnati Kids, Vasista, and Likitha also looked impressive at this stage. Team Soul demonstrated improved performance in its last three matches.

Orangutan Gaming, led by Aaru, had an average run but managed to grab a spot in the BGIS Semifinals. Troy Tamilan barely made it to this stage. These clubs will hopefully perform well in their upcoming encounters.
