Where to watch

The official YouTube channel of Krafton Esports India will broadcast The Grind event live in English and Hindi.

Blind Esports, led by Aadi, will begin their The Grind journey today. The lineup is arguably the most experienced team in Group 1 and will likely have terrific performances in their three matches. The same squad, playing under the banner of Team Insane, acquired the third rank in the BMPS 2023. Rivalry and Genesis are among the semi-pro teams in Group 1. These teams will definitely be looking to showcase their strength today.

Orangutan Gaming is a top-tier team in Group 2 who will be looking to dominate the competition. Gladiators Esports, the defending BGIS champions, will be playing in the event with a newly signed underdog lineup.
