Skyesports BGMI Championship Finale to resume on November 4

The Finale is expected to be underway on Thursday, November 4, from 1 pm onwards. However, Skyesports has not mentioned whether the total number of matches played during this stage will be reduced due to the delay. Initially, a total of 18 games were planned to be featured in this three-day competition.

Many fans came to the venue to enjoy the opening day of the Skyesports Championship 5.0 Finale. However, unfortunately, even after several hours, the "technical difficulties" could not be dealt with.

The organizers tried to start Match 1 three times, but some players faced problems regarding gameplay every time. As a result, the event's first day had to be changed.
