Top teams to watch out for
Blind Esports is arguably the most successful team after the return of BGMI in the country. The squad, featuring Spower, Manya, Joker, Rony, and Nakul, has shown their superiority in most events they competed in June. The lineup conquered five third-party tournaments last month.
Team Gladiators, which boasts players like Destro, Justin, DeltaPG, and Shogun, is another squad that has performed well in the last few tournaments. Team Soul, 8Bit, and OR Esports had a great run last month and will try to up their play in this BGMI event.
GodLike Esports made a much-required comeback in the iQOO Pro Series by winning the first title after the game was unbanned. Popular teams like Orangutan, Gods Reign, and Entity will also look to improve their performance in the event.
