After three exciting days, Gladiator Esports emerged triumphant in the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023 Grand Finals. The ceremony, held at Mumbai’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, drew a packed house of fervent attendees. The audience was also treated to an appearance on the third day by Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra.

Gladiator Esports won the grand prize and the ₹75 lakh winning award, with an incredible ₹2 crore in cash up for grabs. The team performed remarkably well throughout the series. The finals saw the elite group continue to compete at the same level even if they did not win a single Chicken Dinner. Their ability to achieve 200 points without having had a single chicken supper is evidence of their unrelenting consistency.

Furthermore, Gladiator’s Destro achieved his second BGIS title win. He has previously been crowned champion in BGMI’s inaugural season with Skylightz Esports in 2021.
