BGMI’s first big sanctioned tournament is the Battlegrounds India Series (BGIS) 2021. Since the tournament’s introduction in August, the buzz and excitement around it has gradually grown. However, the growth of in-game hackers forced the organisers to postpone the tournament’s start date.
The competition was back on track when the 1.7 update brought a new anti-cheat system that resulted in the ban of over 2.5 million in-game hackers. The registration period closed on November 28, and the gaming community prepared for the in-game qualifiers, which will take place from December 4 to 9.
