Every BGMI event after BMIC at a glance

Battlin Open Season 1

This is the first tournament on Battlin, KRAFTON India's new official tournament platform for BGMI. There are two tracks:

• Track 1 (open): 2 to 23 November, Rs 5 lakh. The winner gets a direct slot in BGIS, which makes this the clearest route from grassroots to KRAFTON's main series.
• Track 2 (main): 24 to 29 November, 32 teams (28 invited plus the top 4 from Track 1), Rs 15 lakh. The finale is on 29 November.

Registrations closed on 1 November, so this one is for watching, not entering. Source

BGMI events in Mumbai

Let's be honest: after BMIC, there's no confirmed public BGMI LAN tournament in Mumbai before the end of the year. Here's what is happening:

• BGMI Air closed beta (20 to 24 November). Mumbai is one of three host cities. It's for selected players only. You must be 18 or over, pass the audition (entries close 9 November, 11:59 PM IST) and cover your own travel. The open beta starts on 25 November, and the game launches on 10 December. Source
• Google Play Arena final (19 and 20 December). The venue hasn't been announced. If it lands in Mumbai, we'll update this post and our events page.
• Practise with your squad. Plenty of cafes have fast Wi-Fi, charging points and big screens for scrims. Find one on Gamehood's Mumbai page or the Navi Mumbai page, and see our guide to where to play Valorant, BGMI and EA FC in Mumbai.
