BMPS Increased Slots Controversy

The qualified teams have yet to be announced by the officials. They will review the gameplay of all BMOC Round 4 teams, and any team that violates the event’s rules or is caught hacking will be disqualified. Teams finishing outside of the top six will be given the opportunity to compete in BMPS. BMOC Round 4 has taken unexpected and shocking turns, with more than half of the invited teams failing to qualify for the upcoming event. This demonstrates the strength of underdog teams, which have displayed exceptional gameplay and outplayed the more prominent and experienced teams. As the next event approaches, everyone is rooting for their favourite teams such as Team Soul, XO, OR Esports, HYD Hydras, and others.

Some fans will be disappointed because they will not be able to see teams such as Godl, X Spark, TSM, Skylightz Gaming, and others. Nonetheless, the underdog teams will prove their worth and put on a fantastic show for BGMI fans.
