GodLike Esports win BMPS 2026 and seal a spot at the Esports World Cup in Paris
GodLike fought back over the closing matches of the Jaipur finals to be crowned BMPS 2026 champions and book one of India’s two places at the Esports World Cup.
Jun 22, 2026
GodLike Esports are the champions of BMPS 2026. The franchise closed out the grand finals in Jaipur on Sunday to take the biggest title in Indian BGMI, walking away with the one crore rupee top prize and, just as importantly, a seat at the Esports World Cup in Paris later this year.
It was anything but a smooth route to the trophy. GodLike languished near the foot of the table after the opening day while Divine Gaming set the early pace, but they found their rhythm across the back half of the finals and reeled in the leaders when it mattered. Divine Gaming, who had looked the team to beat after day one, had to settle for second and a 60 lakh rupee cheque. Victores Sumus took third.
A late surge decides it
Sixteen teams went to Jaipur chasing a four crore rupee pool and the Paris ticket, and for a while the title looked like it might belong to someone else. Divine Gaming were the standout side early, racking up chicken dinners and points while GodLike searched for their footing. What turned it was consistency over the closing matches. Rather than chasing one big game, GodLike kept finishing high and stacking placement points, and that steady accumulation is what wins a tournament spread over so many maps.
Two Indian teams head to Paris
The headline prize was always the Esports World Cup slot, and BMPS delivered two of them for Indian sides. GodLike booked their place by winning the event. iQOO Orangutan, who finished in the mix at the finals, qualified through Krafton’s global team rankings rather than the BMPS standings. India will therefore have two representatives at the Esports World Cup in Paris, a step up in profile for a scene that has spent the last couple of years trying to prove it belongs on the global stage.
The individual honours
The award for the most valuable player of the tournament went to ScaryJod, while Slug of Divine Gaming was named the finals MVP after his side’s strong week. There was money attached to the smaller honours too, with separate prizes for the best in-game leader and the standout clutch player, the kind of recognition that has become a fixture of these LAN events.
For GodLike, this is the title their fans have been waiting for. The organisation is one of the most followed names in Indian gaming, and a domestic crown plus a World Cup berth gives them the platform to back up the hype. The work now is turning a home triumph into a result in Paris, where the standard rises and Indian teams are still chasing a breakthrough.
