Krafton is kickstarting its new season of BGMI esports with Battlegrounds Mobile India Open Challenge 2022. This tournament will be the first event of 2022 with high stakes and a grassroot level competition. Before the main event reaches its final stage, the officials are conducting a separate invitational tournament called BMOC 2022: The Grind and here is everything you need to know.
BMOC 2022: The Grind will be very similar to the older version of The Grind that was hosted before the start of BGIS 2021. This event is essentially like practice event for the invited rosters but stakes are higher this time. The Grind itself will be panning out in three different stages and hence, teams will need to perform more consistently to win the entire event.
The Grind starts from 31st March 2022 and will run side-by-side to the BMOC 2022 online qualifiers. Invited teams will be practicing while teams that have registered for this event will be playing in a total of three rounds before meeting the invited rosters.
The Grind is split into qualifiers, league and finals stage and here is the correct date distribution:
Qualifiers – 31st March to 3rd April
League Stage – 7th to 10th April
Finals – 14th to 17th April.
In the first qualifier stage, a total of 32 teams will be divided into four groups and will play in a round-robin format for four days straight. The top 24 from this stage will move to the League stage.
League Stage is shortened for The Grind but it essentially tests the consistency of playing rosters. The format for this stage will be very similar to qualifiers stage but at the end, top 16 will go to the finals.
The top 16 teams will be playing a total of 24 matches in the grand finale and at the end, the winner will be crowned as ‘The Champion’ of BMOC 2022: The Grind.
This tournament is like a preparatory stage for the teams qualifying from open qualifiers as they can learn about different strategies used by the official teams before the event. Make sure to watch The Grind on BGMI Esports official YouTube channel.
