Krafton takes measures against hackers in BGMI
Officials are putting in a lot of effort to prevent cheaters from ruining the game. After the launch of BGMI, many esports players and fans complained that hackers had become commonplace. Krafton then strengthened its anti-cheat measures.
In BGIS 2021, they also banned several teams due to similar reasons. Every week, the BGMI developers publish anti-cheat reports that reveal how many cheaters got banned during the previous week.
The top 24 teams of BMOC will advance to the Pro Series, which will take place from 19 May to 12 June. All the matches will be streamed on BGMI's official YouTube channel.
