BGMI Pro Series 2023 Featuring 96 Participating Teams Kicks off on Nov 22
The 96 teams will be split into 12 groups of eight teams each during the League Stage. The first six groups are considered to be Group Blue while the second six groups are Group Red. Both blue and red groups consisting of six groups each will be playing in a round-robin format for three weeks( i.e. 3 Days each week). It should be noted that groups will be reshuffled every week based on leaderboards.
Considering the overall standings of League Stage (Week 1+Week 2+ Week 3 Standings), the top 16 teams will be qualified for the Grand Finals. Moreover, Krafton introduced a bonus point system alongside the normal point system for weekly matches.
As part of this bonus point system, Teams will receive bonus points based on the performance of Game Week. It means teams will get extra points based on their standings in every week’s leaderboard. The table-topper will receive 25 points extra while the second and third-placed teams will get 20 and 15 extra points respectively.
