Indian fans, with all eyes on Gladiators Esports, a team that has earned a formidable reputation in recent months. Boasting two major titles in their arsenal, including the Nodwin-organized BGMI Masters Series Season 2 and the coveted BGIS 2023, this team is undeniably a force to be reckoned with.
However, they face stiff competition from other Indian powerhouses like Big Brother Esports and Team XSpark, who secured the first and second runners-up positions in the India Series.
Blind, Gods Reign, Medal, and Revenant also have top-tier BGMI rosters, adding to the excitement of the upcoming Invitational. TWM Gaming may be a relatively new entry but can’t be underestimated, as they managed to secure the eighth spot in the BGIS 2023.
Krafton India’s CEO, Sean Hyunil Sohn, expressed excitement and pride in this unique esports celebration, highlighting the recognition and support that esports is gaining from both Indian and Korean government officials.
Krafton’s commitment to growing esports in India is evident, as they recently launched the Krafton India Gaming Incubator (KIGI) to nurture and support talented game developers.
