How Will BGIS 2024 Be Different?

BGIS 2024 will feature a 10-point system, according to caster Mazy, who revealed the info in a livestream. The winning team in a match will get 10 points, while the second position team will get 6 points, the third position team will get 5 points, and so on. This will provide a reason for the teams to be more aggressive and try to be in the top spots, as teams placed from 9^th to 16^th places will get zero points.

The first season of BGIS was held in 2022, after BGMI launched in 2021. It was won by Skylightz Gaming. The second season took place in October 2023, which was won by Gladiators Esports.
