iNSANE's Quantum Cup title BGMI

On 19 August 2021, TEAM iNSANE swept the Quantum Cup with a five-match single-day final, taking ₹50,000 of the ₹1,00,000 prize pool (about $1,344 in the records' figures). Initiative Esports finished runners-up on ₹25,000 and TSM were third on ₹15,000. The event was organised by GRITTY GANG with Shabla Films as sponsor, running 16–19 August with 18 teams in the finals.

Phase one on 16–18 August took 32 invited and underdog teams through 12 matches, four per day, with the top 18 advancing; phase two was the Grand Finals on 19 August, decided in a single day over five back-to-back matches on Erangel and Miramar. Goblin of TEAM iNSANE took the Top Fragger award on ₹10,000, completing a team sweep of title and individual honour. Soul finished 13th and GodLike missed the top 18 entirely.

Fourth went to Legit Esports, fifth to Revenant and sixth to Marcos Gaming. The underdog route in phase one gave grassroots teams a rare path into a pro field.

All of it is documented: the TEAM iNSANE win, the full podium, Goblin's Top Fragger award, the dates, and the prize split. No separate MVP was recorded.

Quantum Cup 2021 scoring gave 15 points for a first place finish and one point per kill, and the Grand Finals table had Team Insane on 80 points with 32 finishes from five matches.

How it went

The entire Grand Final was settled in a single day over five back-to-back matches, and iNSANE swept the title plus the fragger award.
