Teams' performances in previous major tournaments

BGIS 2021 was the first official esports tournament of Battlegrounds Mobile India and was clinched by Skylightz Gaming. Led by Shadow, TSM held second place, while Team XO managed to grab third place.

GodLike, led by Clutchgod, occupied fourth place, followed by 7Sea Esports. Udog India and Team XSpark finished at 11th and 12th place in the event.

Some of the most famous teams like Team Soul, Orangutan, and Nigma Galaxy had subpar performances and failed to advance to the BGIS Finals.

BMPS 2022, the biggest Esports tournament in India, was held from May 19 to June 12 and won by Team Soul in dominating fashion. OR Esports and Enigma Gaming placed second and third, while Global Esports and Team XO came finished at fifth and eighth place in the event.

But once again, some big teams did not qualify for the prestigious event's finals after poor performances. GodLike, TSM, Hyderabad Hydras were some of those teams who did not perform well.

Nodwin Gaming's BGMI Masters Series wrapped up on July 17 and several popular teams put on sparkling performances in the event. Global Esports acquired first place, while GodLike grabbed second in the event. This has probably boosted their confidence, which could help them in the upcoming LAN event.
