5 IGLs to watch out for in BGIS 2024 Grand Finals

In-game leader or IGL is the most important role a player have to fulfil in any team competing in esports tournaments. The current line-up of teams at the Battleground Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2024 features some of the best teams who survived the onslaught to reach the Grand Finals.

The entire decision-making and direction of the team depends on the IGL. It is their decision to assess the benefits and disadvantages of a situation and give proper callouts if the team need to take the fight or play it safe. Over the years, few players in the BGMI community have made a name for themselves as one of the best IGLs.

While some of these IGLs are missing this year after getting eliminated during the semifinals, many others have made their way through, including some new names.

Here are the top 5 IGLs to watch out for in the upcoming BGIS 2024 Grand Finals:

5. Gokul (Team Limra)

The IGL for Team Limra, Gokul, has been in the BGMI esports scene for quite some time now. While not many know his name, the player has been IGLing for tier 2 teams and now under his watch, Team Limra have made it to the BGIS 2024 through Semifinals 2. The team was among the top three with some of the highest chicken dinner count, which tells a lot about the direction the team is taking and giving Gokul a chance to prove himself, however, he does have to face some other OG IGLs of BGMI.

4. Manya (Team SouL)

Team SouL always have a dramatic comeback, which has been noted across multiple tournaments. The opening days usually are a bit slow for the team, but once everyone forgets about them, they are suddenly at the top of the scoreboard. This makes us wonder if the initial day is spent assessing other teams and their gameplay styles. Regardless of the reason, Manya’s ability to keep the team is well-known. During his time in Blind Esports, he also won the best IGL award at BGIS 2023.

3. Mavi (Global Esports)

Mavi is another popular name in the list of best IGLs in BGMI by many, who rose to popularity during the early BGMI days with OREsports and Team SouL. Not only he is good at assessing the situation for the team, he is also known to step up time and time, to showcase his mechanical skills in the game. His current line-up with Global Esports features some of the best players and the team has been proving themselves after the return of BGMI last year.

2. Omega (Carnival Gaming)

IGL for one of the super teams in BGMI, who rose to fame during his time at Team SouL alongside his line-up including Goblin, Hector, AkshaT and Neyo. He is regarded as one of the best IGLs out there. Currently playing for Carnival Gaming, he did see a rough start in the semifinal week 1, however, the team have picked themselves up and will be racing for the top spot once again.

1. Destro (Mogo Esports)

Destro is regarded as one of the most successful IGLs that have taken his team for a winning run at some of the biggest BGMI esports events including BGIS 2021, BGMS S2 and BGIS 2023. Now he is back with his team and is locked in for another run to secure a third BGIS win. There are also many new IGLs challenging him and will make the matches interesting.
