Top teams to follow in Diwali Battle Finals
Blind Esports have been in emphatic form as they recently came out victorious in the Skyesports Championship 5.0. The team, led by Manya, also had a spectacular run in the BGMI India vs Korea International and the 2023 BGIS. The marquee squad is expected to perform well in this event.
Revenant, Gods Reign, and Gladiators are the other teams that have been impressive over the last few weeks. These squads have many stalwarts on their rosters.
However, it should be noted that after winning the BGIS, Gladiators Esports have stumbled in their last two tournaments.
Crowd favorites GodLike and Team Soul had a decent run in the Skyesports BGMI Championship. However, both teams were unable to secure a podium finish. They will now aim to lift the trophy at the Diwali Battle.
