Krafton has extended invitations to 256 teams for the Grind event, with teams being split into 16 groups, each comprising 16 teams. In the first week, eight groups will compete, while in the second week, the remaining groups will take on each other. At the end of the five-week-long contest, the top 64 squads will seal their spots in the main event of the India Series.

This is the first major BGMI esports contest of the year, as the game returned to the market on May 29 after a year of being removed from Google Play and App stores. Seasoned teams like Soul, GodLike, Orangutan, Revenant, and others are preparing themselves for the competition.

GodLike has recently added Spower in their unit ahead of the BGIS The Grind, while Revenant recently included two star players, Sensei and MJ. Gods Reign, featuring the former TSM players, played on Day 1 of the event and faced stiff challenges from underdog squads.

They barely earned a spot in the next round as the Robin-led lineup came eighth in their group. This shows how challenging the event will be for the experienced teams.
