However, what adds even more to the excitement of this year's tournament is that a team from India has been invited to play in the Grand Finals. The announcement came as massive news for Indian fans and players who last saw the Indian teams participate in a global event back in the PMWL East: Season 0 Finals (2020).

After playing 24 matches in the BGIS 2021 Grand Finals, Skylightz Gaming emerged as the inaugural champions of BGMI's grandest event till date.

Gamlaboy and Pukar were the two players who didn't have passports to travel abroad. As a result, Skylightz Gaming lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the first ever Indian team to participate in the PMGC 2021 Grand Finals.
