TeamXSpark's THUG Invitational S4 crown
Overview
On 31 January 2022, TeamXSpark won the THUG Invitational Season 4, scoring 215 points with 101 kills to take ₹2,50,000 of the ₹5,00,000 prize pool (about $6,706 in the records' figures). TSM finished runners-up with 196 points and 89 kills on ₹1,00,000, while Enigma Gaming were third on 195 points with a tournament-high 103 kills, just one point behind TSM. The five-day event was organised by Villager Esports in association with Thug, with LOCO as the broadcast partner.
The event brought together 24 invited teams across 18 matches on Erangel, Miramar and Sanhok, each team playing 16 games. TeamXSpark endured a slump on day one before a comeback that began on day three carried them past the field. Reckoning Esports, who had led after the opening day, were suspended on day two for a rule violation and never recovered their position. The commentary desk included Mortal, Spero, kRaT and Thug himself.
Aadi of TEAM iNSANE swept the individual honours: MVP and top fragger with 34 finishes, collecting ₹50,000. Fourth place went to uDOG India on ₹25,000. The top three were separated by only 20 points, making it one of the tightest C-tier finishes of the early-BGMI era.
The trail is complete: TeamXSpark's 215-point win, the TSM and Enigma podium finishes, Aadi's MVP award, the Reckoning suspension, the dates, and the prize split. The records' USD figure differs slightly from Liquipedia's own conversion by exchange-rate date.
Team XSpark led a 24 team field in THUG Invitational Season 4, and the gap from first to third was only 20 points. uDOG India finished fourth on 171 points, Orangutan fifth on 170, and Team SouL sixth on 161. Spero, Mortal, Thug, kRaT and Sid formed the commentary team for the five day event.
How it went
The title swung on a final-day charge: TeamXSpark erased an early deficit and pulled away while Enigma's 103 kills were not enough to climb past second.
