The Grind is a pre-Battlegrounds India Series exhibition game that is officially sanctioned and has a prize pool for invited teams. The invited teams are divided up into several groups and compete for the cash prizes. 


This season, in addition to BGMI Tier 1 teams, underdog teams that performed well in the BGIS 2021 and proceeded to rounds 2, 3, and 4 were apparently also invited to The Grind.
