Krafton Announces New Schedule for Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2021

The Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2021 (BGIS) which was announced on 15^th July earlier this year, underwent some major delays but is about to resume once again. Krafton came forward yesterday on 23^rd November to highlight that the registrations for the tournament, which are still ongoing, will be concluding on Sunday, 28^th November 2021.

Finally, after more than four months the registration for the tournament will come to an end, as the BGIS 2021 proceeds with the actual competition. The first stage of the tournament is scheduled to start from 4^th December, coming to an end on 16^th January 2022 with the grand finals.

The complete schedule of the BGIS 2021 has been provided below along with the original schedule of the tournament, as per which the BGIS 2021 champion would have already been crowned on 10^th October.

BGIS 2021 Updated New Schedule: Complete Information

Originally, BGIS 2021 registrations were planned to take place from 19^th July to 2^nd August followed by the tournament all set to be played between 2^nd August to 10^th October 2021. However, by the end of July Krafton had decided to extend the registration deadline so players would have more time to squad up and register their team.

Though the registration dates were extended, no new date or schedule was provided by Krafton at that point in time. The competition dates were moved without any news of when the event would be taking place. There were not even any reasons provided for shifting the entire tournament by more than two months.

So it was quite a surprise when Krafton out of the blue announced the final registration date as 28^th November, followed by the entire schedule for BGIS 2021 which is as follows,

This is the new schedule of the BGIS 2021 tournament, running from 4^th December 2021 all the way up to 16^th January 2022, when the first-ever Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) champion shall be crowned.
