Jet Skyesports has unveiled a brand-new competition, the Skyesports Champions Series (SCS), with a focus on BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) for its fourth edition. This marks a strategic decision by the organizers to showcase India’s beloved battle royale title, BGMI, in the tournament. Notably, the prize pool for this event is the highest ever since the game’s relaunch, standing at Rs 25 lakhs.
BGMI made a triumphant return to India after a ban lasting over 305 days, and tournament organizers are quick to capitalize on the resurgence by announcing new competitions. Krafton, the game’s developer, recently hosted the launch party titled “BGMI Rising,” featuring a substantial Rs 10 lakhs prize pool and participation from influencers nationwide. Team Rebel emerged victorious in the tournament, with Team Jonathan securing the runner-up position.
