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.
