This will be the second major third-party event of BGMI after its re-release on May 29. The majority of these invited teams recently competed in the Skyesports Champions Series, Villager Domin8r, Nodwin Scrims, and a few other tournaments in the past three weeks. Some seasoned squads have been seen in outstanding form, but others have been struggling to coordinate and make plays.

Blind Esports, featuring rising talents such as Manya, Nakul, Rony, Spower, and Joker, dominated the Skyesports Champions Series and the Domin8r Series. With the addition of the former Global Esports athletes, the organization is in rampage mode and will be one of the challengers to win the upcoming Nodwin BGMI event.

Team Soul is also back in astonishing form, coming second in the Skyesports Champions Series 2023. The fan-favorite club had a great showing and engaged in some commendable strategic gameplay during the Grand Final of that tournament. Two of their stars, Akshat and Goblin, were also on the list of top 10 players. Orangutan, Insane, and OR Esports have also played brilliantly in the last few weeks.

Meanwhile, renowned teams such as Team Xspark, GodLike Esports, Enigma Forever, and Hyderabad Hydras have struggled and failed to secure a respectable spot in recent BGMI competitions. These squads will aim for at least a podium finish in the upcoming Nodwin Champions Cup.
