Just weeks before the BGIS Grand Finals, in which Team Skylightz Gaming claimed the crown as the inaugural champions, Krafton has already announced the next tournament. BGMI Livik: Aftermath Showdown is a much smaller tournament that will most likely take place over the course of one day.
13 teams will take part in the tournament, consisting of quite big names, including Mortal. The tournament has a fairly large prize pool of Rs 4,50,000 and will start on January 25 at 17:00. The tournament will be broadcast live on the official BGMI Youtube channel.
Crafton has not yet specified the format of the tournament and how exactly the teams’ brackets will be determined. Given that there are only 13 teams in the mix, the tournament will most likely consist of 5-6 matches per day.
13 teams will take part in BGMI Livik: Aftermath Showdown
Livik: Aftermath Showdown has 13 teams:
- Team Dynamo
- Command Scout
- Team Mortal
- Team Snax
- Team Vaadiyaar
- Team Kanika
- Team Psycho
- Payal Team
- Team Godnickson
- Sriman’s team
- Team Sanwan
- Team classified
- Team Antarami
These teams will be competing for first place, but Crafton has yet to split the top 3 prize money and individual awards, if any. Most likely, more information will appear soon.
The BGMI esports scene is still in its infancy, but it is growing at a fairly high rate. BGIS 2021 attracted a lot of attention as a huge audience tuned in to watch the top competitive players in the country fight for supremacy in a battle royale.
The Skylightz Gaming team won and took first place in a fierce battle. The TSM team was on the heels of the Skylightz, only 3 points behind at the end. Team XO finished in third place after leading the table for a long time in the Grand Finals.
