Battlegrounds Mobile Pro Series Season 1 and Season 2 have a prize pool of Rs 2 crore, which will be the largest prize pool for a single esports event in India.

Minu Lee, Head of BGMI at Krafton said, “Krafton remains committed to the development of the esports ecosystem in India, and in 2022, we will continue to provide a platform to players across the spectrum, be it pro-level or simply gaming enthusiasts via a range of tournaments and thoughtfully curated experiences. With more and more talent emerging, and the esports ecosystem growing exponentially in India, we look forward to hosting these tournaments that promise to be intensely competitive and full of nail-biting game moments. We are steadfast to provide a global platform for these players to showcase and harness their skills.”
The recent BGMI update added a new Team Deathmatch map called Santorini. This is the first 8×8 map in BGMI, where two squads of 8 players battle against each other to reach the target score. Players respawn after death, and scoring kills and assists will give you TDM boost gauge. The Santorini map is available in Arena Training too.
