Designed to give grassroots players a platform to compete and get noticed, BGMI Gully Wars reflects the growing depth of gaming talent across India. The tournament aims to create a space where players who may currently be known only within their squads, communities or friend circles can take their game to the next level and potentially make their name known to a much larger audience.
Speaking about the launch, Charlie Cowdrey, CEO, JioBLAST, said:
“BGMI has played a significant role in shaping India’s gaming community, and through our collaboration with Krafton India we’re excited to create an opportunity that puts the spotlight on the players who are at the heart of that community. BGMI Gully Wars is about taking grassroots talent and giving them a platform to compete, get noticed and take their next step in competitive gaming. With a tournament journey designed for aspiring players, we hope to see new names emerge and make their mark,” said Charlie Cowdrey, CEO, JioBLAST.”
Karan Pathak, Associate Director - Esports, KRAFTON India, added:
“We are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for the BGMI community and supporting the next generation of competitive talent. Our collaboration with JioBLAST on BGMI Gully Wars brings this vision to life by creating a platform where aspiring players can showcase their skills, compete at scale and take their first step towards the competitive ecosystem. We look forward to seeing players from across the country step up, make their mark and, most importantly, make their name.”
Through its collaboration with KRAFTON India, JioBLAST aims to further expand opportunities for grassroots BGMI talent and contribute to the development of India’s competitive gaming ecosystem. The partnership brings together JioBLAST’s expertise in building competitive entertainment experiences with KRAFTON India commitment to growing the BGMI ecosystem and supporting emerging talent.
The journey begins with the In-Game Qualifier from October 14–20, followed by a series of rounds that narrow the competition to the final 16 teams competing in the Grand Finals. For players who have spent years building their skills without necessarily having access to competitive opportunities, the tournament offers a chance to take that next step.
