League Stage overview

Blind, Team Insane, Global Esports, and Marcos Gaming have already entered the BGMS Grand Finals as they were the top four teams in the League Stage. Gladiators Esports was fifth in the overall leaderboard, only 10 points behind Marcos Gaming. The Destro-led squad had an outstanding run there and will concentrate on continuing their tide in the Playoffs.

Enigma Gaming, featuring veterans like Owais, Maxkash, and Daljit, also maintained their consistency throughout the League Stage. Gods Reign, the former TSM lineup, had a few dismal games but presented their strengths and capabilities in the previous phase. The star-studded lineup will try to lift the first prestigious BGMI trophy for Gods Reign.

Team Soul stumbled in the second Super Weekend but managed to finish 11th in the overall League Stage. The fan-favorite squad will need to get back to their original form in the BGMS Playoffs. Entity Gaming, Velocity, WSB, and Lucknow Giants bounced back in Super Weekend 2 due to which they earned a spot in this round.

On the other hand, GodLike Esports, Revenant, Spy, and True Rippers couldn't maintain their consistency throughout the League Stage and were knocked out of the BGMS. These squads received ₹1 lakh each in prize money.
