Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) — the game, which was unbanned on 29th May 2023 after much uncertainty, had a widely successful esports circuit in 2023. Although being in a suspended state for almost the entire first five months of 2023, 2023 witnessed three official events with one being an International event with South Korean teams. With such an impressive comeback, fans believed that 2024 would be an even more massive year for BGMI esports with a proper structure, multiple tournaments, invites to international teams, and whatnot. However, it fell short of expectations. Where 2023 witnessed three official events, 2024 only featured two—Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2024 (BGIS 2024) and Battlegrounds Mobile India Pro Series 2024 (BMPS 2024).
Although there were some shortcomings from the organizers’ side, the players, fans, and the entire community did not hold back. Both official tournaments received immense support and love from the community with hundreds of thousands viewers watching the events live. BMPS 2024 became the most watched BGMI event ever with a peak viewership of 4,93,980.
With such increasing hype, the competition too rose to its peak. Many new players and teams fought their way to the top, whereas the veterans fought to keep their spot at the very top.
