Skyesports has been one of the top original IP organisers for BGMI ever since it was released in June 2021. The Skyesports Championship 4.0 – BGMI, one of the first-ever major tournaments for the game that happened in September 2021, achieved a record-breaking peak viewership of 2,21,000. Additionally, the Skyesports Grand Slam in early 2022 also recorded terrific viewership numbers, with a peak of more than 1,50,000 viewers.
The top two teams of the SCS will receive an invite to the Skyesports Championship 5.0 Finale, which will be a LAN event scheduled to be held later this year.
