The staggering rise in BGMI's popularity has affected its esports scenario massively. Millions of players across the country have played custom matches in competitive scrims and tournaments, resulting in the Tier 1 tournaments getting a massive response from the audience.

Krafton previously announced the roadmap for Battlegrounds Mobile India's esports roadmap for 2022. Based on the announcement, it was known that BMOC 2022 would kick things off for the season. However, witnessing such a massive craze amongst fans in the community, Krafton organized BMOC The Grind, which concluded yesterday.

The Grind was organized as a practice tournament for the country's top 32 invited esports teams. Although the Qualifiers and the League Stages witnessed a great response, the excitement and massive turnout on the livestream during the Finals were unmatchable.

It was only fitting that a consistent side like Team Orangutan bagged the title and took home decent prize money.
