It also subtly hints at the tournament being hosted as a LAN event with the audience cheering on their favorite superstars from the stands. The video shows captivating images of arenas filled with audiences and posters of the tournament getting installed in the streets of Mumbai.

BGMI Esports' upcoming tournament BGIS Grand Finals will be a LAN event

The video showcases that the second season of Battlegrounds Mobile India Series will have a whopping prize pool of ₹2,00,00,000. With the preliminary stages of the tournament set to be held online, it can be assumed that only the Grand Finals of the event will be held as a LAN event in Mumbai, with the audience filling up the stands of the venue.

For those unknown, last year BGMI Esports saw multiple LAN events transpiring. These included the likes of Nodwin x LOCO All Stars Invitational, Battlegrounds Mobile India Showdown, and Battlegrounds Mobile Pro Series. However, none of these events had the audience cheering the players from the stands due to COVID restrictions.

With Krafton hinting at the upcoming BGIS Season 2 to be hosted live in Mumbai, it remains to be seen which teams make it to the Grand Finals of the event. Moreover, fans are also waiting for the developers to announce whether the winning team from the tournament will be making their way to play a global tournament, similar to the first edition of the event.
