With over 1,024 teams competing in some of the most popular Battle Royale titles, including BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India), the tournament is poised to become a milestone for both Infinix and the Indian gaming ecosystem.

How will the season unfold?
As the tournament unfolds over three seasons, participants will go through multiple phases of competition, including Open Qualifiers, Closed Qualifiers, Quarterfinals, and Semifinals, ultimately leading to the Grand Finals. The competition will heat up with the final 16 teams, who will battle it out over two days for a slice of the INR 50,000 prize pool.
The driving force behind the GT PowerPlay Tournament is Infinix’s belief that the future of gaming extends beyond just creating devices. According to the company, “The GT PowerPlay tournament is a key step in our commitment to support the growth of esports in India and encouraging a new generation of competitive gamers.” By offering a platform for gamers to compete at higher levels, Infinix is actively contributing to the development of India's esports scene, which has seen remarkable growth in recent years.
