Overview of teams

This will be the first notable third-party event after BGMI's re-launch on May 29. Majority of the participating teams are well-known names in the community as they have contested in multiple competitions in the past. Meanwhile, a few teams like Team Ninja, Team AVI, Team MAVI, and others are tentatively named after their respective team members.

Team XSPARK have already unveiled their crew for competitive BGMI. GodLike, Team Soul, and Orangutan have kept their lineups unchanged despite nearly a one-year ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India. Blind Esports recently acquired the former lineup of Global Esports, while Team Ninja will feature the former TSM's members.

Each competitor will aim to return to form and gain momentum from the start as a number of tournaments are scheduled for the coming weeks. Krafton has also hinted that the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2023 will be conducted later this year.
