Santa Esports won the first match of the final week of BGMI Showdown qualifying. By the end of the sixth match they were out of the tournament, one point below the cut.
Group C played six matches on Monday, 28 September, and it was the only group in Week 3 playing for survival. The top eight stayed alive. The bottom eight were knocked out, and nobody else goes out this week. Santa’s 19-point chicken dinner on Rondo opened the day, but they added only 15 more across the next five matches and finished ninth on 34. Raspator Esports took the last place on 35.
Nebula lead the group
Nebula Esports finished top with 73 points. They won the second match, the first of three on Erangel, for 19 points, and their 46 finishes were the most in the group. HyperCatz were second on 64 after taking the fourth match for 21 points, and 4TR Official were third on 58. 4TR’s win in match five on Miramar was worth 25 points, the biggest winning score of the day.
Lastade Esports took the fourth spot with 52 points and did it without a chicken dinner. Their 41 finishes were the third-highest in the group. Those four go into the upper bracket survival stage.
Four teams scrape through
Quantum Sparks (50), Mysterious 4 (41), Team H4K (38) and Raspator (35) finished fifth to eighth and move into the lower bracket survival. H4K won the last match of the day on Miramar and Raspator the third on Erangel. Without those two wins, neither would have been close.
Chicken dinners were not enough for everybody. Santa had one, and they were the only match winner in the bottom half of the table. SBS Esports and WindGod finished level on 31, three points further back, and GENxFM, Godsent Forever, 4Ends Esports, Naqsh Esports and Rising Esports are also out. Rising scored seven points in six matches.
Groups A and B still to come
The other 32 teams play over the next two days with no elimination on the line. The stakes are about route rather than survival. Only the top four in Group A go straight to the Grand Finals, while Orangutan, last year’s champions, start their Group B day needing a top-four finish to reach the semi-finals.
The Showdown has a ₹1 crore prize pool. Its winner goes to the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2026, and the top six take places at the BGMI International Cup.
