In case you didn’t follow the BGMI rollercoaster: After PUBG Mobile was banned twice in India, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) emerged as its phoenix. But Indian teams have had zero PMGC slots since 2021—when GodLike briefly flew the flag. Since then? Radio silence.

Now from nowhere, boom—three slots. Fans are calling it the “Return of the Titans.” Esports influencers, streamers, and pro players are flooding timelines: Pray for chaos, for upsets, for the rise of the underdog.

• Karan Pathak (Krafton India)—the architect behind this new pathway.
• Randeep “Arman” from Orangutan Gaming: “Indian teams might get star-struck competing in T1 circuits—but Randeep’s been there. He won’t flinch.”
