Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2025, arguably one of India’s most awaited esports events, has been at the center of controversy recently, following accusations of mismanagement of team qualifications. Several esports teams have complained of unjust eliminations and inconsistencies in the qualification process, questioning the handling of the event by the organizers.
Allegations from Teams in BGIS 2025
According to reports and social media posts, several teams with impressive performances during the in-game qualifiers have not received qualification messages for BGIS 2025. One such claim mentions a team with 10 Chicken Dinners and 27 finishes being qualified, while another team with 31 finishes did not make the cut. This inconsistency has led to widespread frustration among players and fans alike.
The absence of a proper response from KRAFTON India Esports has further exacerbated the problem. Players have said they have received generic answers when they tried to get an explanation, mostly informed that their registration was incorrect or that they broke a rule. However, to the teams, these justifications are unfounded, especially when evidence of proper registration has already been provided.
BGIS 2025 Elimination Emails to Unregistered Teams
One of the most alarming revelations is that teams that did not even register for BGIS 2025 have received elimination emails. The issue, highlighted in a viral screenshot, shows a team named “Team LosX” receiving a message stating, “You didn’t qualify for Round 1 of BGIS 2025,” despite never having registered for the event. This incident has led to accusations of KRAFTON playing with the emotions of underdog teams while claiming to support grassroots esports talent in India.
The BGIS 2025 controversy has attracted a lot of criticism from the Indian esports scene. KRAFTON has been accused of being irresponsible in hosting such a high profile tournament, particularly when there is a high stake involved with a prize pool of ₹2 crore INR. Players and fans are calling for transparency in the qualification process and responsibility from the organizers.
