This evolution is notably marked by the rise of teams such as S8UL Esports, GodLike Esports, and Team XSpark, who have garnered substantial fan following and media attention.
However, the landscape of Indian esports is not solely defined by these esports behemoths. Emerging talents like Gladiators Esports and Big Brother Esports are challenging the status quo, showcasing their skills in prestigious tournaments like the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2023 and the BGMI Masters Series Season 2.

This issue has stirred discontent among many promising teams who feel overlooked.
Recognizing this gap, AFK Gaming introduces the BGMI Team Rankings, an initiative aimed at bringing a more structured approach to evaluating team and player performance in Indian esports.
