Gladiators Esports are in the Hyderabad final because 121 points was just enough. The BMSD semi-finals sent the top eight forward. Gladiators were eighth, from Group B, on 121. Vasista Esports were ninth on 118 and had to play Last Chance, which they did not survive. Three points over 16 matches decided who got a week off and who had to win a second tournament.
Inside Group B they were behind Team Apex Gaming on 152 and Team Outrage on 124. The overall place, not the group place, is what the format used. Gladiators' eighth is an overall eighth. That is the line drawn on the semi-final table.
Hyderabad then rewrote the semi-final script. Gladiators finished second in the Grand Finals on 141 points across the 18 matches, fourteen behind Team SouL, and the five-man roster is published on this page. Second place also carried one of India's six BMIC 2026 places, so the team's next LAN is The Dome in Mumbai from 30 October to 1 November 2026. There is still no BGIS 2026 leaderboard row for this name in the published top 16.
For Gladiators Esports, the verified current lineup is Aquanox, DeltaPG, Justin, Neyo and Destro.
