Team Apex Gaming set the pace
Team Apex Gaming sit on 118 points from 12 matches. Their 80 finishes are the most of any team in the Semi Finals, which makes up for a single chicken dinner.
GodLike Esports are just 3 points behind on 115. Their 42 placement points are the highest in the stage, backed by 2 chicken dinners.
K9 Esports and Nebula Esports are tied on 100 points, with Gladiators Esports fifth on 89.
The fight for the top eight
The qualification line is tight. iQOO SOUL are sixth on 88 points without a chicken dinner yet, and Vasista Esports and Genesis Esports hold seventh and eighth on 87.
Welt Esports are first outside the cut on 82, 5 points back, with 2 chicken dinners and 40 placement points but only 42 finishes. Outrage Esports (81), Version1 x Blue Army (80) and Wyld Fangs (75) are all within 12 points of eighth place.
Defending champions in trouble
iQOO Orangutan, the BMSD 2025 champions, are bottom of the table on 41 points with just 4 placement points from 12 matches. They are 46 points off the top eight, so the Last Chance stage looks like their most realistic route to defend the title.
What's next
- Semi Finals Day 4: 11 October, the final 4 matches for every team.
- Last Chance: 12 and 13 October for teams ranked 9th to 24th, with four Grand Finals spots on offer.
- Grand Finals: 16 to 18 October at Savaaya Convention, Hyderabad. Meta Ninza, 8Bit, iQOO Revenant XSpark and Blitz Epigrotive Gaming are already in.
