FAZExDC's AKEF Gaming Saga title

FAZExDC sealed the AKEF BGMI Gaming Saga title on 26 September 2021, taking ₹40,000 of the ₹1,00,000 prize pool (about $1,355 in the records' figures). Team SCAR finished runners-up on ₹20,000 and Intense Intox were third on ₹15,000. The event was organised by AKEF, the All Kerala Esports Federation, with sponsors AMD, Crucial and G Rigs; the Grand Finals ran 25–26 September with the full event spanning 7–26 September.

The open bracket was among the largest of the 2021 era: 1,000 teams entered pre-qualifiers, narrowing through 300, 120 and 48 to an 18-team Grand Finals. The finals ran 12 matches over two days on an Erangel-Miramar-Erangel-Sanhok-Miramar-Erangel rotation with standard placement points. Kaalan of Team SCAR was named MVP on ₹10,000, from the runners-up rather than the champions.

The production was Kerala-focused, with Malayalam-language commentators including PNX Rithu, Katzy Gaming, Two Face Gaming and Venatus YT. A minor note: the page's format text says the finals ran 23–25 September while the infobox and records say 25–26; the infobox dates are used here.

The published Grand Finals table credits FAZExDC with 142 points from 80 placement points and 62 finishes, ahead of Team SCAR on 118, and Kaalan's tournament-high 27 finishes for Team SCAR backed up his MVP award.

A Kerala federation's 1,000-team open bracket ended with FAZExDC on top and the MVP award going to a runner-up.
