Finalists
The 5th edition of BGMS started on the 10th of August. The entire tournament was played in a LAN setup from the very beginning. We experienced several rounds such as the League stage, Bounty Weekend, Super Weekend, Playoffs, and the Grand Finals. This was the first time Nodwin Gaming introduced the Smash Rule system for the Grand Finals. However, it didn’t come into play.
After fighting with each other and performing consistently well in all of the rounds, the top 16 teams eventually secured their slots in the Grand Finals to compete for the massive prize pool of approximately ₹1 CR or $107,000.
BGMS Season 5: How the finals unfolded
From the very beginning of the final, the only team that kept the entire lobby on its leash was team Nebula Esports. Known for their notorious and aggressive gameplay, Nebula Esports didn’t let any team take the first spot on the points table even once. They showed sheer dominance and calculated aggression, which gave them a massive lead of almost 50 points at the end of day 1.
From the middle of day 2, teams like Gladiators Esports, iQOO Orangutan Esports, and Team Apex Gaming showed some effort to climb up the ladder, but the challenge was too tough. Team Nebula showed great composure and made sure that no unnecessary pressure came to their minds.
Finally, in the later stages of day 3, after Nebula Esports secured a podium finish, it was pretty evident that they were definitely taking the trophy home. Gladiator Esports and Team iQOO Orangutan fought till the very end and secured the first runner-up and second runner-up titles, respectively. Here is the point table of the Grand Finals:
