Battlegrounds Mobile India Series BGIS 2023 could be a door opening for Indian teams in the upcoming PMGC 2023
PUBG Mobile India Series was renamed to Battlegrounds Mobile India Series in 2021 and was held in the same year. Skylightz Gaming came out as the crown champion. With an invited slot in the grand finals of PMGC 2021, GodLike Esports made it to the event.
So, with the PMGC 2023 ahead, BGIS season 2 is likely to be the door opening. Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2023 will take teams from the in-game qualifier, making it a grassroots event where underdog teams will get a level playing field to come on top.
