However, officials have yet to announce qualified teams. They will check the gameplay of all BMOC Round 4 teams and if any team breaks the event rulebook or is caught hacking, they will be disqualified. Teams finishing below the top 6 will have a chance to qualify for the BMPS.
Round 4 of the BMOC took a shocking and unexpected turn as more than 50 percent of the invited teams failed to qualify for the upcoming event. This shows the strength of the underdog teams that have shown exceptional gameplay and beat outstanding and experienced teams. In the lead up to the next event, everyone is rooting for their favorite teams such as Team Soul, XO, OR Esports, HYD Hydras and more.
Some fans will be disappointed as they won’t see some of the golden teams like Godl, X Spark, TSM, Skylightz Gaming, etc. However, the underdog teams will show their worth and put on a divine show for BGMI enthusiasts. The event will be streamed live on LOCO, official YT BGMI and IQOO Esports channels.
