Krafton India Announces BMPS 2025 Tournament Format
BMPS 2025 is set to be the second official BGMI esports competition of the year. The hype for the tournament started from the grand finals of BGIS 2025 when the CEO of Krafton India, Sean Sohn, announced that the finals will take place in Delhi in July.
Many believe the reason for the tournament to be preponed by 2 months (when compared to BMPS 2024) is due to the upcoming PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC). Reports state the top team from BMPS 2025 will receive the special invite spot in the PMWC 2025. Let us look at the new format for BMPS 2025.
BMPS 2025 will consist of 6 phases, starting from Round 1 until the Grand Finals. Below is the schedule of the event:
- Round 1: May 22 – June 3
- Round 2: June 5- June 8
- Round 3: June 9 – June 12
- Semi Final Week 1: June 14 to June 17
- Semi Final Week 1: June 19 to June 22
- Grand Finals: July 4 to July 3 (in Delhi)
Round 1 of BMPS will take place from May 22 to June 3. Within this round, all 96 teams will be split into six groups of 16 teams each. After every 3 days, the groups will be shuffled according to the teams’ standings.
Each team will play 12 matches during Round 1. The top 8 teams from Round 1 will receive a bye to the Semi-Finals in Week 1. Teams that finish between positions 9 and 16 will receive a bye to Round 3 of BMPS 2025.
Teams that finish in positions 17 to 80 will qualify for Round 2. The remaining 16 teams will be eliminated.
