The Pro Series (BMPS) will have two seasons, each with a massive prizepool of ₹2 crore. This will be India's largest prize pool for a single esports event. The 24 qualified teams from BMOC along with a few invited teams will battle in qualifiers for the BMPS, following which, only 24 will move to the next stage.

The second stage i.e., the league stage of BMPS, will feature these 24 teams battling in a long round-robin format. The top 16 will play in the Grand Finals.

Shortly after BMPS Season 1, the second season of BGIS will take place. The last major tournament of the season will be the BMPS S2.

PUBG Mobile is a medal event at the upcoming Asian Games 2022. The event will take place from September in Hangzhou, China. A few months back, Krafton also revealed that the Indian team will be participating in the Asian Games.

Over 60,000 people registered for BGIS 2021 and Krafton hopes the BMOC will see even more participants. The rosters of many established teams have also changed since BGIS. From champion Skylightz and GodLike to fan-favorite Team Soul, everyone's trying to settle their squad before the upcoming challenge.
