The Lidoma BGMI Masters Showdown was nothing short of an electrifying event, with Carnival Gaming emerging as the undisputed champions. Despite the presence of heavyweight teams like Reckoning Esports, Gods Reign, and Godlike Esports, these squads found themselves trailing, unable to harness a streak of consistent performances, and ended up in the lower echelons of the standings.
Carnival Gaming not only dominated the leaderboard but also celebrated Hector, who clinched the MVP title with an impressive tally of 42 finishes. This victory didn't come easy. Over four intense days, 16 teams battled it out for the prestigious title and a slice of the INR 5 Lakhs prize pool. But in the end, it was Carnival Gaming's consistency and strategic prowess that earned them the top prize of INR 2.5 Lakhs, leaving WSB Gaming and Team XSpark to settle for the second and third places, with winnings of INR 1.25 Lakhs and INR 50,000, respectively.
