These 16 contenders include the top four teams that qualified directly from the BGMS League Stage – Revenant XSpark, Team SouL, Gods Reign, and NoNx Esports and 12 teams from the Semi-Finals which concluded on September 11.
Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, said, “This year’s BGMS has been a landmark in our journey to redefine esports in India. The fact that teams from BGCS have earned their place in the Grand Finals is a testament to our vision of creating a clear pathway for young talent to transition from grassroots to the biggest stage. As we move into the Grand Finals, we look forward to witnessing the very best of what Indian esports has to offer.”

Victores Sumus, Team Aryan, Sinewy Esports, and Team Versatile also secured top-eight finishes to advance to the Semi-Finals.
The Semi-Finals, featuring eight Playoff teams alongside the 5th to 12th placed BGMS League Stage teams, delivered eight intense matches. GodLike Esports dominated with 92 points at the top of the table, while K9 Esports, Medal Esports, True Rippers, and Phoenix Esports followed closely. Team Versatile, Nebula Esports, and Sinewy Esports progressed from BGCS, further reinforcing the importance of the official feeder league in nurturing future stars.
The BGMS Season 4 Grand Finals will be broadcast live on Star Sports Khel and JioHotstar from September 12 to 14 during prime time 5 PM to 8 PM, marking it as the only esports tournament in India with a national television presence.
