Esports enthusiasts and fans of the popular mobile game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), which is the Indian version of PUBG Mobile exclusively for gamers in India, are in for a treat, as the tournament promises to be grander, more competitive, and filled with thrilling moments.

The BGMS Season 2 tournament is all set to kick off, with 24 elite teams battling it out for a jaw-dropping ₹21 million ($256,000) prize pool. The stakes are high, and teams are gearing up to showcase their skills and strategies in this ultimate mobile gaming showdown.

The participating teams will be a mix of invited top-tier contenders and those who manage to earn their spot through qualifiers open to all Indian players. NODWIN Gaming will extend direct invitations to 14 exceptional teams, while the remaining ten slots will be fiercely contested through the qualifying rounds, giving amateur talents a chance to shine on the big stage.

NODWIN Gaming, known for its commitment to elevating esports, has joined hands with motorcycle manufacturer TVS Motor Company as the official mobility partner for the BGMS Season 2. This association reflects the growing interest of mainstream companies in the rapidly expanding esports industry.

TVS Motor Company will be joining Rooter, a popular streaming platform, in the BGMS partnership roster. This strategic collaboration aims to create an immersive and accessible experience for esports enthusiasts, further elevating the tournament’s profile.

Star Sports, a major player in the Indian sports broadcasting space, is leaving no stone unturned to make BGMS Season 2 more inclusive and viewer-friendly. In a bid to engage viewers from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds, the tournament will be broadcasted in three languages: Hindi, English, and Tamil.

Akshat Rathee, the Co-founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming, expressed his enthusiasm about BGMS Season 2, saying, “Last year, we took a bold and historical leap of faith by airing the BGMI Masters Series on primetime television with our partners Star Sports. That leap turned out to be an incredible success.”

“With BGMS Season 2, we are doubling down on our commitment to bringing the epitome of BGMI esports to the masses. We have a larger prize pool, larger participation base, and larger distribution with all our partners,” Rathee added.
