To make the contest more interesting, Krafton has introduced special power cards for the Losers Bracket of the BGIS 2023. A total of 64 teams have been chosen for this stage, which will run from September 28 to October 1. The 16 top performers will receive a slot in the Semifinals, the penultimate stage of this grand BGMI tournament.

The special power card feature has previously been used in several invitational tournaments, but for the first time, this will be applied in the official BGMI competition.

The 64 squads, including 48 from Round 4 and 16 from Round 3, will be divided into four groups, each playing six matches in this Losers Bracket. The top four teams from each group will obtain a spot in the Semifinals.


Special power cards rule for BGIS Losers Bracket

There will be two cards: Finish and Position in the Losers Bracket. Each team can apply two cards once in their six matches. Here are the rules for using this feature:

  1. Teams have the option to select either a Position Card or a Finish Card.
  2. Choosing the Position Card will result in a 1.5x multiplier on their points for that match.
  3. Opting for the Finish Card will grant a 2x multiplier on their points for that match.
  4. Teams can use two cards only once in six matches.

With the inclusion of this rule, teams will play aggressively after applying their Finish card. While they will play cautiously and passively after using their Position card.
