KRAFTON Disqualifies 3 Teams from BGIS 2026 Ahead of Quarter Finals
On Wednesday, 25 February 2026, disqualified 3 teams from BGIS 2026, saying, “Following a review, the listed teams have been disqualified from BGIS 2026 for violations of tournament rules 6.2.4 and 4.3. These decisions have been made in accordance with the rulebook to uphold competitive integrity.”
What Rule 6.2.4 States
Playing under another player’s account or gamer tag, or soliciting or inducing someone else to play under another player’s account or gamer tag, is prohibited.
What Rule 6.2.4 States
Notice: All participants/players are required to record both their in-game point-of-view (POV) and handcam POV for every match of the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2026. Failure to record and submit the required POV(s) will result in penalties or can even result in disqualification.
The official number of the Battlegrounds Mobile India 2026 disqualified teams has crossed 15. Krafton has made some changes in the rules and introduced the PlayShield app, but still the teams are being exposed for cheating and hacking. Now all eyes will be on the Quarter Finals, where 64 qualified teams will play, and who will replace Blitz in the Quarter Finals. This is also a big equation.
The BGIS 2026 Quarter Finals will take place from 26 February to 1 March, featuring 64 teams (56 teams from Round 4 + the top 8 teams from The Grind Group A). These teams will be divided into 4 groups of 16 teams each. Every group will play a total of six matches, and the top 16 teams from the cumulative overall standings will qualify for the semi-finals, while the 17th- to 40th-place teams will play in the wildcard stage.
