This year, the iconic esports IP will feature India’s loved battle royale title, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). Twenty-four of the country’s best squads will compete in the tournament from June 9 to 18 for glory and a share of the Rs. 25,00,000 prize pool.

The Skyesports Champions Series is an online tournament and will happen from June 9 to 18. Before that, Skyesports will be hosting the qualifiers on June 7 and 8. In this, 18 invited teams will compete with the top six making it to the semifinals. The SCS – BGMI semifinals will take place between June 9 and 13. Six teams from the qualifiers will be up against 18 invited squads. They will be split into three groups of eight teams each.
Finally, the top 16 teams will move on to the Grand Finals which will take place from June 14 to 18. Here, they will battle to crown the champions of the first-ever Skyesports Champions Series – BGMI.

Skyesports has been one of the top original IP organizers for BGMI ever since it was released in June 2021. The Skyesports Championship 4.0 – BGMI, one of the first-ever major tournaments for the game that happened in September 2021, achieved a record-breaking peak viewership of 221,000.

The SCS BGMI will be the first of many online and offline esports tournaments by Skyesports for the mobile battle royale community of the country. Just like all other games, Skyesports aims to build a structured roadmap for BGMI esports as well. In fact, the top two teams of the Skyesports Champions Series (SCS) will receive an invite to the Skyesports Championship 5.0 Finale, which will be a LAN event later this year.
