This event will be an online event mostly due to COVID concerns. Some teams will fly out to Singapore to reduce any disadvantage due to high ping. Some other teams will move to Dubai, including India's sole representative in GodLike esports.

Why is GodLike esports participating in the Global Finals?

GodLike esports finished 4th in the BGIS Finals, India. The team placed behind Skylightz Gaming, TSM and Team XO. According to the initial announcement, the spot for the PUBGM Global Championship would go to the winners of the BGIS 2021. However, there were a few conditions, which the top three teams failed to meet. Players were required to have vaccination certificates, a negative COVID test and valid passports (at least six months validity). With players from the first three teams unable to furnish these documents, GodLike esports got a chance to represent India on the global stage.
