Nebula Esports lead eight teams into BGIS 2026 semi-finals after Wildcard stage wraps up
The Wildcard stage saw 32 teams fight for eight semi-final spots over four days. Nebula Esports, who had led from day two onwards, were never seriously challenged and finished 37 points clear of second-placed The Vanguard.
The eight qualifiers
The Vanguard claimed second place on 112 points, followed by NONx Esports on 108. K9 Esports and Victores Sumus both finished on 107, with Phoenix Esports just behind on 106. iQOO Reckoning Esports and Myth Official rounded out the qualifying places, both on 105 points.
The cut was tight. Infinix True Rippers missed out on 102 points, just three points off the pace. iQOO 8Bit and Riotnationz, both on 98, were also eliminated. Kalinga Esports finished on 91.
Nebula's dominance
Nebula had topped the standings after Day 2 and Day 3 as well, building their lead steadily through consistent top-five finishes across matches. Their 149-point total set a comfortable buffer, meaning they went into the final day with qualification virtually sealed.
What comes next
The eight qualifying teams now advance to the BGIS 2026 semi-finals, where they will join teams from earlier qualifying rounds. The semi-final stage will narrow the field further before the Grand Finals decide India's BGMI champions for 2026.
